All facilities, lifts, equipment etc. on the land are wholly owned by the Club. An elected Board of Directors of ten volunteer members represent the membership as a governance board and assist in providing support to the organization. An enthusiastic team of employees conducts all of Chicopee's daily operations - 30 full time year-round and 400+ seasonal and part-time employees. Chicopee, like all businesses, must ensure its long term sustainability. Although the facility is closely associated with its surrounding communities, it is not supported through any tax dollars. This financial sustainability is critical to Chicopee's existence now and in the future.
African Lion Safari is a Canadian owned family business created in the name of conservation. Our manner of exhibiting animals is completely different from the traditional approach; that is, the visitor is caged in the car, and the animals roam in 2 to 20 hectare (5 to 50 acre) reserves. We first opened the gates to public in 1969 with 40 lions in 3 reserves; today the park houses in excess of 1000 animals of over 100 species. After 39 years we have been successful with breeding 30 species that are considered endangered, and 20 or more species that are considered threatened. The original idea of maintaining self-sustaining populations of species in decline is still our priority
