Through these activities we provide a diversity of compelling learning experiences which invoke positive change in the way people think, feel and act environmentally.
Until a quarter century ago, Fossil Rim was known as Waterfall Ranch, a 1,400 acre wild game ranch.
In the early 80s it began propagation of endangered species. Grevy's Zebra, African addax, and eventually, cheetah and African scimitar-horned oryx were included in the preservation efforts.
In just a few years, Fossil Rim Wildlife Center has been restored from its own near extinction to one of the most progressive conservation and education centers in the United States.
Fossil Rim was founded on the conviction that all creatures have a right to exist; that the natural world has intrinsic value apart from human perceptions and needs; and that this right and this value deserve our deep respect.
Modern culture, with its emphasis on economic and technological values, tends to threaten the quality and integrity of nature.
Fossil Rim strives to provide a model and stimulus for alternative ways of experiencing and relating to animals and nature as a whole.
