I am one voice of many thousands that speaks for saving this sanctuary. From the time the first kitten "followed me home," my life has been filled with the joy and purpose that comes from advocating for and caring for animals. I've seen firsthand how animals can heal, inspire, and teach us, and there is no better embodiment of this than Steve Kroschel's Wildlife Sanctuary in Haines, AK. This sanctuary not only offers critical assistance to animals in need but also serves as a unique platform for public education. With guided visits, people from all walks of life can appreciate the beauty and significance of various species, fostering a deeper understanding of the crucial role we play in these animals' survival.

However, Kroschel's Wildlife Sanctuary is under threat. It's heartbreaking to imagine the potential loss of such an invaluable safe haven for wildlife and the erasure of countless educational opportunities for locals and tourists alike. This is not just an issue for wildlife advocates like myself; it's an issue for anyone who believes in the importance of wildlife preservation and the crucial role of education in fostering respect and understanding for the animal kingdom.

What baffles me most is the government entities that are empowered and paid to protect animals and educate the public are the very people working to close the sanctuary down, by any means possible. What reason could there possibly be to stop the work of this wildlife savior and warrior? 

This plea is simple: We must preserve Steve Kroschel's Wildlife Sanctuary. By doing so, we protect a significant habitat, uphold our responsibility toward these beautiful creatures, and keep the doorway to education and understanding wide open for future generations.

Man has done so much to destroy the habitat that these animals rely on. To cease the work of just one man will have a detrimental effect on many species of Alaskan wildlife. We must not allow him to become extinct. 

Time is short to take action. Visit his website to see the importance of his tireless efforts and the difference he has made in so many lives. Let's save this sanctuary, for the animals, for the people, and for the future. We humbly ask that you add your voice to ours and sign this petition today.
