Bush Administration Delays Decision on Polar Bear's Fate!

The Bush Administration has postponed a decision, due in early January, on whether to grant federal protection to the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act. In response, NRDC, the Center for Biological Diversity, and other groups are preparing to head back to court to defend this magnificent species against the ravages of global warming. While it dragged its feet on polar bear protection, the administration moved forward with a far-reaching oil and gas lease sale in Arctic habitat that is home to 10 percent of the world's polar bears. The Feb. 6 sale auctioned off some 30 million acres in the Chukchi Sea, off the coast of northwest Alaska, for destructive oil and gas drilling. If the polar bear is granted federal protection, all such proposals to lease or drill its habitat will be subject to increased scrutiny. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts recently introduced a bill that would bar further leasing and drilling activity in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas until the impacts of drilling on polar bears are fully understood.

Brand new Cabins NOW OPEN!

New Babies for this year

Winter is here! Help us get the animals fun summer toys...

 

 

Animal enrichment toys are a valuable asset to all sanctuaries and zoos. Not only do they provide the exercise that all animals need, but they also help to eliminate boredom and keep animals mentally active.

Leo and the Bear

While the Bush administration hems and haws over adding polar bears to the endangered-species list, the world celebrates the birth of Knut, the darling cub born in captivity at the Berlin Zoo. Now three and a half months old, little Knut has become a powerful (if not controversial) symbol of what this planet has to lose to global warming. Such ecological concerns are familiar to actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio, so it seemed natural to pair these two handsome boys on Annie Leibovitz's cover for this year's Green Issue. In these behind-the-scenes images, Leibovitz and V.F. senior photography producer Kathryn MacLeod capture Knut at home in Berlin, and DiCaprio at the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, in southeast Iceland. We brought them together the only way we could, in a photomontage.

Also on VF.com: exclusive video from the Knut cover shoot. To join Leonardo DiCaprio in protecting the polar bear from global warming, go to www.PolarBearSOS.org

Order toys for our park directly from Sanctuary Supplies and have them shipped directly to the park.

G.W. Exotic Animal Foundation was founded and built as a refuge for exotic animals that would otherwise have no hope for a happy life. Since than it has grew into a beautiful full blown zoo. The park provides a wonderful home with the care, food and love that all animals need. It was built in memory of Garold” G.W. Schreibvogel”, who was the son of Francis and Shirley Schreibvogel. On October 7th 1997, he was killed in an automobile accident.  After his passing, his brother Joe, sold their pet store in Texas and used the proceeds to open the park. The park staffs 31 people who work endless hours to make this park one of the best in the nation. Here you will see over 128 species of animals in an up close and personal environment like no other.

G.W. loved all animals and life.  This is a memorial park, dedicated to loved ones that have been lost. Anyone wishing to dedicate a habitat with a memory plaque are welcome to do so.  Please see our "You Can Help" page
