Wildlife Sanctuary Bear Habitats

Salas O’Brien is redesigning Earthfire Institute’s bear habitats to meet animal care standards. Our team is creating innovative spaces prioritizing animal wellness, comfort, companionship, challenge, and choice. The new design maximizes safety and comfort for bears and staff, incorporating waterfall features for enrichment and drinking. We are also integrating viewing areas for visitors, fostering connections between humans and animals.

Aligning with the Institute’s conservation mission, the habitats will feature off-the-grid technologies like rainwater harvesting and photovoltaic systems. By balancing animal welfare, staff functionality, and sustainability, our team provides Earthfire Institute with cutting-edge, eco-friendly bear habitats that enhances conservation efforts and visitor engagement.
