Safari West Press Kit WELCOME to the SONOMA SERENGETI Safari West Press Kit WELCOME TO THE SONOMA SERENGETI Since our founding in 1993, Safari West has become one of the premier wildlife destinations in the United States. Between our expansive wildlife collection and the natural beauty of the woods and rolling hills of Sonoma County, Safari West truly is the closest you can come to Africa without going there. Guests visiting Safari West discover a 400-acre wilderness begging to be explored. With over 900 animals representing 90 different species roaming across some of the largest enclosures in the country, there’s a lot to see and do—a truly unique opportunity for a great experience. For over twenty years, Safari West has existed as a place for people to meet the wonder of the wild face-to-face. We have introduced animals large and small to generations of visiting guests, all with the goal of igniting wonder, curiosity, and hopefully, compassion. Our mission is to inspire wildlife advocates who will help us protect and preserve these beautiful and often endangered creatures. the spirit of Africa in the heart of Wine Country 3115 Porter Creek Road • Santa Rosa, CA 95404 Main Line 707-579-2551 • Direct Line 707-566-3620 • web www.safariwest.com • email [email protected] Safari West welcomes visitors every day in our ongoing pursuit of this mission.

As a child Peter roamed freely around the back lots and sound stages of Hollywood. His father—Otto Lang—was a renowned producer and director known for shows like Daktari and Sea Hunt and films like Tora, Tora, Tora! Much of Otto’s film work involved lions, chimpanzees, and other animals and young Peter had many opportunities to work closely with these creatures. Peter grew up but never outgrew his passion for wildlife. While operating the last cattle ranch in Beverly Hills, Peter would again find his life intersecting with that of the African plains when he purchased several eland antelope. Eland are the largest of the antelope species and are phenomenally good at clearing brush that cattle have no interest in. Before long, the cattle ranch became home to more exotic and unusual animals. In the late 80’s Peter purchased a piece of land in the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains north of Santa Rosa. He moved his ever-increasing herd of wild animals here and established a conservation breeding facility. On this property, Peter worked diligently to breed endangered species; work that is scientifically invaluable and critical to conservation efforts. It was while starting off on this valuable project that Peter met the woman who would one day become his wife, Dr. Nancy Lang. the spirit of Africa in the heart of Wine Country 3115 Porter Creek Road • Santa Rosa, CA 95404 Main Line 707-579-2551 • Direct Line 707-566-3620 • web www.safariwest.com • email [email protected] Nancy Anne Lang, Ph.D. By the time Nancy met Peter, she was already well established in the field of wildlife conservation. Her lifelong passion for wild places and creatures had led her to academia. Attaining both a B.A. and an M.A. in biology from San Francisco State University as well as a Ph.D. from the University of Wales in Cardiff, Dr. Nancy Lang initially made her mark at the San Francisco Zoo. Over a twenty year tenure, Dr. Lang founded the Avian Conservation Center and developed a highly successful program for the propagation and release of endangered birds of prey. Dr. Lang’s achievements served her well and she quickly rose to the position of general curator at the San Francisco Zoo. These experiences would later prove invaluable to the conservation breeding programs active at Safari West today. Peter and Nancy met, fell in love, and married. Together they transformed a 400-acre wildlife ranch into what we now know as the Safari West Wildlife Preserve. Side by side they have carefully steered this enterprise through two and half decades of growth and development. Thanks to their combined efforts, Safari West is now a leader in wildlife conservation and a premier institution for education and research. the spirit of Africa in the heart of Wine Country 3115 Porter Creek Road • Santa Rosa, CA 95404 Main Line 707-579-2551 • Direct Line 707-566-3620 • web www.safariwest.com • email [email protected] CORE ACTIVITIES AT SAFARI WEST GO ON SAFARI! Adventure abounds as you set out in one of our rugged, open air safari vehicles in search of zebra, wildebeest, rhinos, ostrich, and more! Roam through steep sided canyons, over rolling hills, and across open savannas on your quest. With terrain similar to that of untamed Africa, our vast herds are free to range virtually undisturbed over hundreds of acres. Not everything can be experienced from the back of a truck however and your guide will also take you exploring through our massive open-air aviary and throughout our lower grounds where you’ll come face-to-face with cheetahs, lemurs, birds from around the world, and several species of monkey. Throughout the safari your highly experienced guide will share fascinating stories about our collection of animals as well as tales of their wild counterparts. Many of the species you’ll learn about are increasingly rare and exceedingly endangered. This safari not only introduces you to wild creatures living wildly, but contains species that it’s now nearly impossible to find in the wild. GLAMOROUS CAMPING (GLAMPING) If you’ve ever dreamt of spending the night on the African plain, then you’ll love camping at Safari West. We have 30 luxury tents imported from Lobatse, Botswana. The heavy duty canvas walls and mesh windows lend a rustic air to an otherwise lavish experience. Each tent easily houses five or six occupants with a variety of bedding arrangements from a single king to side-by-side doubles to a double bunks arrangement that are spectacular for families. Whatever your particular arrangement, we’ve got a tent for you. Each tent sits atop a high wooden platform with private decks providing panoramic views of the the spirit of Africa in the heart of Wine Country 3115 Porter Creek Road • Santa Rosa, CA 95404 Main Line 707-579-2551 • Direct Line 707-566-3620 • web www.safariwest.com • email [email protected] property.

  • WPT SAFE Action Plan 2019 2021 Revisions.JB.8.9.19
    Western Pond Turtle SAFE Action Plan for 2019 - 2021 Goal The long-term goal of the Western Pond Turtle SAFE program is to ensure the stability of remaining Western Pond Turtle populations and support healthy population growth and expansion within the species’ range. The primary goal of this three-year Program Action Plan is to prevent the Western Pond Turtle from being added to the Federal Endangered Species List in 2020. To do this, actions in this plan support the assessment of Western Pond Turtle populations and their threats, engage the public, build public and combined stakeholder efforts and support works that increase the number of turtles living in natural areas in the species range. While there is no specific number of turtles that will prevent listing, a well-developed plan and expanding turtle populations may help meet this goal.
