From here it is a few kilometers walk.

Mountain View Conservation & Breeding Centre Attractions

The Mountain View Conservation Centre is an important place for the conservation and breeding of endangered species, and because animal conservation is the center’s number one priority there is no general admission as visitor numbers are restricted. You can visit the site but must arrange to do so 48 hours in advance so that arrangements can be made for you to join a tour (of which there are 2 per day).

With visitor restrictions you can appreciate that this is not your usual tourist-oriented destination, so you won’t find hordes of people here, restaurants and huge gift shops. Instead this is the sort of place to bring your family if you’re interested in conservation and protecting endangered species from extinction. And remember that this could also be your only ever opportunity to see some of these animals.

Some of the species at the center include the very rare Vancouver Island Marmot; British Columbia’s most endangered frog, the Oregon Spotted Frog; several beautiful species from the cat family and some unusual looking animals too, such as the Malayan Tapir and the Abyssinian Ground Hornbill bird.
