Wild Animal Sanctuary adds 9,004 acres to its Colorado operation SPRINGFIELD, Colo., March 23, 2018 /@PRNewswire ) #USNewswire / -- The Wild Animal Sanctuary has completed the purchase of a 9,004-acre ranch located in #southeasternColorado near the #agricultural community of #Springfield. With more than 460 #lions, #tigers, #bears, wolves and other #rescuedanimals currently residing at the #nonprofit organization's facility near Keenesburg, Colorado, the need for additional space drove the organization to seek additional land to continue fulfilling its mission.   Working with #lawenforcement agencies and other animal welfare groups within the United States and around the world, the organization had reached capacity at its 789-acre Sanctuary located just thirty miles northeast of #Denver, CO. Already considered the largest carnivore sanctuary in the #world, the organization chose to purchase the large contiguous parcel near Springfield due to its size and abundant natural amenities. Consisting primarily of hills, #canyons and rocky bluffs blanketed in various #species of #pinetrees, as well as valleys and pastures flowing with native #grasses, Sanctuary management says the property is well suited for hosting #wildlife. The additional land will allow The #WildAnimal Sanctuary to continue rescuing and rehabilitating captive wildlife for many years to come. The organization says it has no plans to close its #Keenesburg facility, since it continues to educate more than 150,000 visitors annually. The site also features a unique 1.5-mile long elevated walkway that holds the #GuinnessWorldRecords award for Longest #Footbridge. The Sanctuary specializes in #rehabilitating captive #wildlife and releasing them to live and roam freely within large #naturalhabitats.
