If preserving natural instincts is so important, why do zoological facilities and places like the NFWC allow visitors? We firmly believe that one of the most effective ways to help wildlife around the world is to educate and inspire the general public. By allowing visitors to see and learn about these incredible species in the flesh, they gain a new perspective on issues that may seem far away and untouchable to them. The proceeds generated from visitations keeps our animal residents enriched, well-fed, and keeps our international conservation efforts going strong. In short, visitors are a crucial part of our mission now, and for the future.
