About The Wildlife Heritage Foundation

The Wildlife Heritage Foundation began in 2000, when the owners of Paradise Wildlife Park looking to expand and interested in the already existing Big Cat Sanctuary in Smarden, Kent, with a view to establish a Conservation Centre of Excellence.

 

The foundation is home to over 15 different types of Big Cat including lions, tigers, pumas, leopards, lynx, jaguars & cheetahs. The Wildlife Heritage Foundation is 38 acres of mostly open grasslands, but has also established upon this land, six breeding centres, each with a main big cat house and three outdoor enclosures for each centre, eighteen outdoor spaces in total.

 

The Wildlife Heritage Foundation operates under zoo licencing so must abide by strict requirements in place with regards to the conditions provided for both animals and guests at the sanctuary, but is also registered charity with a vision statement of “Conservation, Procreation, Liberation — Small steps for Big Cats”.
