Conservation at Promised Land Zoo

All of the below aspects are very important to zoological and private ownership conservation efforts.  Admissions, donations, dedicated zookeepers and volunteers help us help these wonderful creatures in our care, thank you for your support!

What you and Promised Land Zoo can do to provide humane and ethical care to God's dwindling species and the benefits of human care are; Protection from Poachers, animals in human care are safe from the threat of poachers. Animals lucky enough to live in human care are provided everything they need to live comfortably and happily.

Another important aspect is individualized nutrition; animals in human care are evaluated by veterinarians who specialize in the care of large animals.These professionals along with our park nutritionists prepare diet plans based on the individual animal’s needs and medical requirements. Vitamins and supplements are also extreemly important to keep our animals in peak physical condition. Digestive complications occur with all animals, even animals in human care. Vitamins and supplements support dietary health and ensure proper nutritional needs for healthy gut flora.Aged animals in human care receive additional probiotics and heart healthy foods that ensure longevity.

Our animals always have access to fresh, clean water. Many animals migrate in search of food and water, placing them at great risk of injury and illness. Animals in human care are provided everything they need, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even foraging snacks between meals!  Most animals have complex species enrichment programs to keep them occupied and heir minds active.

Animals in our care have safety from the elements, as animals in our care have indoor and outdoor enclosures to protect them from the elements. Rain or shine, their needs are provided for daily.

Animals at the Promised Land also benefits from access to modern medicines and research. As modern scientific advancements in genetics have led to longer lives of animals in human care. Breeding programs are better equipped now than ever before to eliminate cross-breeding and interbreeding with just simple blood tests.

All the animals at PLZOO have the comfort of safe birthing practices. While the animals themselves take care of most of the reproductive efforts, we are able to provide them with safety, good nutrition, and access to medical intervention if needed.
The animals in human care are afforded every luxury, including maternity plans! Expectant mothers are given everything they need to ensure a healthy pregnancy. This contributes to the propagation of the species one adorable baby at a time!

Predation is one of the biggest concerns with animals in the wild. They are being hunted by other animals as well as poachers looking for a meal. Animals in human care are free from the threat of predation. Safe habitats and enclosures, and on-site humans dedicated to their every need means animals in human care don’t have a care in the world.

Animals in human care have full veterinary care from birth. They develop a relationship with a long-term veterinarian who specializes in large animal care.These professionals provide exceptional care and consideration, and work closely with caregivers to provide the animals with the best possible care around the clock. Animals are also provided access to humane euthanasia, if needed. An unpleasant topic, but an important one. When an animal is ill or injured, and after other alternatives are exhausted, sometimes humane euthanasia is the most merciful option. Suffering incurred by illness, injury, or old age can be alleviated in human care.

We are responsible for and committed to providing the best possible care to our animals and here at the Promised Land Zoo and Promised Land Safari Park, our staff is dedicated to providing the very best to our animals in Human Care.
