Environmental Animal Ark

Environmental Animal Ark is a no advantage organization, is an Animal Sanctuary and education center. Their mission is to inspiring environmental stewardship through wildlife education.
 
Since 1981, they have provided a safe haven for injured, abandoned and else non-releasable wildlife. They are located in north of Reno on thirty-eight acres and primarily features native North American predators, however a few exotic species have found a home there. They educate tens of thousands of children and adults a year about ecological principles and wildlife by providing special programming events and educational tours.

They make an excellent effort to build every animal enclosure with native trees, boulders, and vegetation to reproduce natural habitat. All Animals receive activities to help break up boredom. Like for example, the meals for the black bears are scattered about the enclosure to encourage gathering instincts. During some special events open to the public (see their calendar), animals are provided meals inside various toys that require thought and craftiness to open.

Their philosophy is that each animal taken in is provided a home for life. They do not participate in captive breeding for the purposes of selling or trading of animals. It is their belief that wild animals belong in the wild and for those animals that are not efficient of surviving in the wild on their own, they have the ability to represent their wild cousins and educate people about the importance environmental stewardship.

Environmental Animal Ark is faithful to using environmentally friendly energy policies wherever possible. Their majority energy needs is met by using passive solar panels, wind generation and water recycling policies are also in place.
