Recently, Country Roads Magazine featured Global Wildlife Center in an article delving into our “new era.”

Highlighting the center’s 900 acres landscape, the spot notes the variety of animals one can visit here –  thousands of animals from 30 different species, including majestic giraffes, graceful antelopes, and adorable kangaroos.

But most importantly, it celebrates the positive changes that have been implemented under the new administration, aligning Global Wildlife Center more closely with our core values.

It is a testament to our commitment to animal welfare, a positive work environment, and transparency.

Here’s some key takeaways:

  • Maci Matherne is the new Owner/CEO of Global Wildlife Center and together with Executive Director Christina Cooper, the vision they share leads the center’s transformation into an ethical and progressive future.
  • We prioritize animal welfare, a positive work environment, and transparency.
  • The center has appointed Dr. Jonathan Bergmann as the attending veterinarian, focusing on veterinary care.
  • Our staff benefits include pay increases, bonuses, paid time off, and healthcare.
  • The new management team undergoes diversity and inclusion training to foster an inclusive work environment.
  • We actively invest in facility improvements to enhance the overall experience.
