Our motto: CONSERVE. CARE. CONNECT.

We aim to 

 

CONSERVE: 

By selectively breeding with endangered species, we aim to conserve a whole species for future generations. 

 

CARE:

To ensure we can conserve, we have to give optimal care to our various animals. We also need to care about educating public of various ages, cultures and races - because if we can help positively change the way people behave, we are already part of the greater solution. Caring for our visitors enables us to also ensure service excellence in all aspects of our facility. 

 

CONNECT:

A person disconnected from nature, will not fight to save it. We aim to bring people and nature, with the focus on animals, back together again. Our well-being is directly linked to our  'connectedness', and if we lose this with animals, we might lose a race altogether.
