By: Walking With Lions "U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's recent petition to list the African Lion as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, opens the door to allow the U.S. government to provide resources to conservation efforts in Africa," said McMillan. He hopes the opportunity to see these magnificent animals up close will help turn the public's attention to conservation efforts. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the African Lion could face extinction by the year 2050. The Walking With Lions experience is centrally located in Southern Oregon, minutes from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, OR, and walking distance to local wineries. Two brand new safari-themed guest cottages await guests, complete with high speed Internet, luxury organic linens/robes, sitting area, coffee maker, and of course... views of the lions. McMillan also offers a 1-hour private Lion Encounter (http://www.walkingwithlions.com/ The natural beauty, recreation, weather, and convenient access that Southern Oregon provides were all big reasons Brian chose his Phoenix, OR location. He noted, "We are minutes away from world class wineries, fishing, dining and entertainment. We give people the chance to get away on safari, while enjoying the luxuries of a modern hotel." The location can also be rented for corporate events, weddings and parties. Walking With Lions and McMillan are longtime members of the Zoological Association of America (ZAA). The facility is fully permitted and regulated by local and federal agencies including Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and USDA, and is located just minutes off Hwy 5. Rogue Valley International airport is just 8 miles away, offering non-stop flights via major carriers like Alaskan Airlines, United, Delta and Allegiant. End
