PAWS Master Plans
In the year 2000, PAWS began development of our vision for the new millennium, a 2300 acre natural habitat, captive wildlife sanctuary, ARK 2000. Located in California’s Mother Lode Country near the historic Gold Rush town of San Andreas, this unique facility is now home to eleven elephants and thirty-three large tigers with plans for expansion and development as funding is available. Phase One of this innovative and educational project is almost complete, and master plans for development of the remaining animal habitats for Phase One and the proposed projects for Phase Two are waiting for financing.

The ARK 2000 property encompasses 2,300 acres of rolling foothills, an extended mountain peak known as Hogback Mountain, and a small portion of nearby Dear Peak. Elevations run from a low of 720 feet above sea level along the river, to a high of 2,560 feet at the top of the mountain. The Calaveras River runs through the property for about 1.25 miles at the base of Hogback Mountain, and numerous small seasonal creeks and springs are located throughout the property providing ample water for the lakes inside the animal habitats. |
