Conservation Efforts Pay Off in the Wild
The Myrtle Beach Safari is home to the Rare Species Fund where tourism dollars help support grass-roots international wildlife conservation efforts. RSF staff participate hands on in the field helping to ensure the survival of some of the world's most endangered species. By putting essential money and equipment directly into the hands of people implementing the programs, RSF ensures the greatest value for every dollar spent. To date, the Rare Species Fund has provided more than $1 million to conservation efforts worldwide. Your support through TIGERS Preservation Stations, TIGERS Preserve, Myrtle Beach Safari and the Rare Species Fund has helped to make this happen!
Tigers Are Making A Comeback!
In 2016, the wild tiger population spanning the globe was numbered at 3,890. This number is up from 2010's estimated population of 3,200 wild tigers. This is the first increase in tiger populations since 1900!
Despite countries such as India, Nepal, Russia, and Bhutan registering a spike in tiger population, the status of the animal remains "endangered". According to the World Wildlife Fund there were 100,000 wild tigers only 100 hundred years ago. This is in stark contrast to today's 3,890.
However, in 2010, governments operating within the "tiger range" agreed to take action and set a goal to DOUBLE wild tigers by the next Chinese Year of the Tiger in 2022. This goal is known as TX2.

Gray Wolf Pack in CA?
The last confirmed gray wolf pack sighting in California was in 1924. The species was considered endangered and nearly extinct until last year, when the state's wildlife officials confirmed the first wolf pack sighting in nearly a century!
Camera traps set up by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) snapped images of the five gray wolf pups and two adults in Northern California. The pack has been designated "The Shasta Pack."
Wild wolves had historically inhabited California but were wiped out decades ago. Aside from one wolf, dubbed OR7, who entered California in December 2011, the last confirmed wolf in the state was spotted in 1924. OR7 has not been seen in California for more than a year and is currently the breeding male of the Rogue Pack in southern Oregon.
The wolf pack's arrival in CA comes at a good time, considering the California Fish and Game Commission voted to list gray wolves as endangered under the California Endangered Species Act in 2014. As a result, gray wolves that enter California are protected by the law and cannot be harassed, hunted or trapped.
Conservationists welcomed the arrival of the wolves in California, noting that it was another good sign for a species that has recovered and expanded its range in the West after a century of decline due to habitat loss, hunting, and poisoning.

Help us stop the Government from banning highly supervised interaction with animal ambassadors!
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has been petitioned by a number of radical animal rights organizations to prohibit public contact with "dangerous animals of any age." These petitioners seek to end any kind of human-animal interactions, even when conducted by professionals in a safe environment. They would like to end the keeping of all animals in captivity, including well managed zoos.
Instead of approaching lawmakers to introduce a bill and debate the merits of any proposed changes, these groups seek to bypass legislative oversight by initiating an administrative "rule change."
USDA/APHIS will now ask for public comment before finalizing any changes in regulation.
