Thank you for your contribution.We, along with information provided from the Cavalry Group, would like to bring our version of conservation and what it is exactly that places like the Promised Land Zoo and Promised Land Safari Parks provide to dwindling species.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, “THERE IS NO WILD?”
In today’s world our senses are bombarded with misinformation, political agendas, and deceptive legislative campaigns. Who can be trusted? The facts you will learn may surprise you, but they will give you valuable insight into understanding why private ownership of animals is the key to the conservation of many species.
REALITIES OF THE WILD...
*Habitat Loss due to human encroachment.
*Poaching for meat, ivory, skin.
*Predation.
*Illness, disease and no veterinary care.
*Low Birth Rate due to low food, space, disease, and more.
*Starvation from habitat and species loss.
*Lack of proper nutrition.
*Drought.
*Plastic and garbage.
*Human pollution of the air and soil.
*Foot rot & hair overgrowth.
*Weather and Elements.
*Inbreeding species become isolated and cut off from other populations = Low genetic diversity.
As shown, the ‘Wild’ isn’t all rainbows and sunshine and proves that zoological entities and private ownership could really provide something valuable to species preservation, education, interaction and conservation as a whole!
