The Wilds, Conservation center in Cumberland, Ohio.
The Wilds spans across 10,000 acres of reclaimed land featuring open-range habitats where numerous animal species roam through natural pastures and forests.
Founded in 1994, this center transformed former mining territory into a scientific facility dedicated to preserving and studying endangered species from multiple continents.
The center maintains research partnerships with universities and supports international breeding programs for rare species, including rhinos, giraffes, and Persian onagers.
Visitors can select from safari tours, overnight stays in yurts, fishing excursions, ziplining adventures, and mountain biking across the extensive trail network.
The facility houses more than 500 animals representing 28 rare species within vast pastures that visitors explore through guided vehicle tours and elevated pathways.
