Wildlife Rehabilitation And Educational Activities To Inform The Public About The Need For Protection Of Wildlife

Our mission is to develop new ideas and implement new solutions to address the short and long-term threats to elephant survival, providing them a new future free of cruelty and death at the hands of humans. Our unique approach of developing communities that will end poaching and illegal trafficking, implementing humane economies within host countries and by creating non-invasive research facilities, we will bring transformational change to this epic struggle while bettering the lives of the indigenous population and the host government. The Elephant Project will create self-sustaining and self-funding sanctuaries and communities reducing the need to constantly fundraise for the project. This project is designed to be a model that can be used all over the world to protect endangered species, better the economies of the host country, provide skills training, jobs, healthcare and educational opportunities for the indigenous population.

The Oasis Sanctuary is a Rescue and Retirement facility for exotic birds, predominantly CITES I and II endangered birds. We offer birds a stable and loving home for the duration of their natural lives. We do not sell or breed birds. We do not offer birds for adoption. Many of The Oasis birds come from other rehabilitation and/or adoption programs where qualified personnel determined it was not in the bird's best interest to be placed in private homes. Some of our birds have "special needs", are physically handicapped or challenged requiring unique living or feeding situations. Several have been bounced from home to home, often being physically and/or emotionally abused and have simply become too fearful of people to be companions any longer. A number of The Oasis birds are "retired" breeders, or other birds originally imported for production purposes, which, due to age, infirmity or temperament often would be facing euthanasia. Because many of our birds are not interested in or are incapable of human interaction, they are housed with the same or similar, compatible species in non-breeding pairs or small flocks in large outdoor flights.

The Center for Great Apes' mission is to provide a permanent sanctuary for orangutans and chimpanzees who have been rescued or retired from the entertainment industry, from research, or from the exotic pet trade.  The Center provides care with dignity in a safe, healthy, and enriching environment for great apes in need of lifetime care.

Austin Zoo assists animals in need through rescue, rehabilitation and education. Austin Zoo is a private, non-profit "rescue zoo" that is home to over 300 animals. Austin Zoo is a nationally recognized animal rescue facility. Most of the animals at Austin Zoo were confiscated, abandoned, strays, unwanted, neglected and had nowhere else to go. Unfortunately, we must turn away many animals for lack of space (enclosures). We refer these animals to other reputable facilities but most are also full. We have additional land on which to expand and will be doing so in the next several years. We also provide educational opportunities for schools, colleges and universities and youth groups.
