Happy International Owl Awareness Day! 🦉

Did you know there are over 250 species of owls around the world? While they're famous for their silent flight and incredible eyesight, many owl species are facing threats due to habitat loss and climate change.

This year, we're shining a spotlight on the endangered Western Burrowing Owl and the inspiring conservation efforts helping to restore wild populations in Canada. Through our collaboration with BC Wildlife Park and the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of BC, our Research team had the opportunity to see this important work firsthand.

Although Burrowing Owls aren't found in Ontario, you can still help protect owls closer to home by learning about native species and supporting local conservation initiatives.

Visit our blog to learn more about Burrowing Owl conservation and how we're working together to protect wildlife. 💚

Meet the ✨Blue-throated Macaw ✨

With its striking blue throat, brilliant yellow chest, and vibrant blue feathers, the Blue-throated Macaw is one of the rarest parrots in the world. Found only in a small region of northern Bolivia, this critically endangered species faces ongoing threats from habitat loss, nest predation, extreme weather, and the illegal pet trade.

Since 2014, African Lion Safari has proudly partnered with the World Parrot Trust to help secure a future for this remarkable species. Through specialized breeding, health screening, and conservation efforts, our dedicated team is working toward increasing the population and supporting future recovery in the wild. In 2023, we celebrated a major milestone by successfully transporting eight Blue-throated Macaws to their native range in Bolivia as part of an international conservation initiative.

Every visit to African Lion Safari helps support our ongoing conservation and research programs, giving endangered species like the Blue-throated Macaw a brighter future. 💙💛

Meet the ✨white lion✨

White lions are unique to the Timbavati region of South Africa and are not a separate species of lion. White lions are leucistic, which means they carry a recessive gene known as a colour inhibitor. This rare gene prevents any colour pigment from being deposited onto the hair shaft, which gives them that stunning pale coat.

See our pride of white lions in Section 3 of our drive through Game Reserves.

Happy World Snake Day!🐍

Did you know the gray ratsnake is the longest snake species in Ontario! Adults typically grow between 1–2 metres long, yet this incredible species is at risk in Ontario due to habitat loss, road mortality, and small, isolated populations.

To help protect the future of gray ratsnakes, African Lion Safari and Reptilia are working together to investigate assisted reproductive technologies for snakes. This research includes developing biobanking techniques, such as the cryopreservation of living cells, to help preserve genetic diversity and support future conservation efforts.

Every step forward in conservation research helps protect wildlife for generations to come.🧡

Learn how this groundbreaking research is helping protect one of Ontario's most remarkable snakes.
