"With understanding and appreciation, education and conservation are achieved!"
The Preserve carries on parent organization, Animal Adventure's, mission to create up-close and hands-on animal encounters. Appreciation yields opportunity for education: responsible captive management & propagation, conservation of species, preservation of spaces. We Care:
USDA
We are federally licensed by the USDA; ensuring that our animals, their care, and facilities meet the same standards of all USDA licensed zoos and aquariums in the US. We are also licensed by NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and NYS Agriculture & Markets. ZOOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
Animal Adventure Park & Preserve are accredited zoological facilities, earning accreditation after a rigorous application and
site inspection process in December of 2021. The Zoological Association of America (ZAA) is a non-profit, membership-based, accrediting organization
dedicated to responsible wildlife management, conservation, and education. The ZAA upholds the highest level of professional standards in animal welfare, safety, and ethics. ANIMAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Animal Adventure Park & Preserve proudly participate in Animal Management Programs (AMP) coordinated by the ZAA. "To ensure a species’ long-term survival, managed propagation of wildlife has become an essential part of the conversation and the only insulation against a potential collapse of wild populations." SPECIES SURVIVAL PLAN
We are proud to be a part of the Species Survival Plan! Overseen by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the focus of the SSP is to maintain a healthy and self-sustaining captive population that is both genetically diverse and demographically stable. The species belonging to the SSP are selected based on the belief of captive breeding programs being their only chance for survival.
