As rare as the Rothschild giraffe species\u00a0(the tallest and\u00a0most endangered\u00a0of land animals,) \u00a0or the “Critically Endangered”\u00a0Grevy’s zebras<\/a>, are the one-in-millions couple that set up a ranch in Point Arena, Calif. to help preserve animals quickly disappearing and potentially\u00a0never being seen again. Judy & Dr. Frank Mello share a love of Planet Earth and commitment to spending their lives saving the most regal creatures on the brink of extinction.\u00a0B Bryan Wildlife Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the care of our Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra, Grevy’s Zebra and Rothschild\u2019s Giraffe. \u00a0The animals at the preserve consume\u00a025 bales of hay and 1,400 pounds of grain every week. Throw in vet bills and property costs, and it takes significant funds to keep operating. B Bryan Preserve<\/a> is run on a skeleton crew of the two owners and one hired worker in order to minimize overhead. \u00a0Your stay at the guest cottage and preserve tours help defer the cost of raising these animals, and,\u00a0you get to see them up close. When you leave, you have a genuine understanding of their plight and the work to save\u00a0them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As rare as the Rothschild giraffe species\u00a0(the tallest and\u00a0most endangered\u00a0of land animals,) \u00a0or the “Critically Endangered”\u00a0Grevy’s zebras, are the one-in-millions couple that set up a ranch in Point Arena, Calif. to help preserve animals quickly disappearing and potentially\u00a0never being seen again.
