Exotic Wild Life Property Program

With Wildlife Partners you can Invest in Conservation

Wildlife Partners offers accredited investors* a chance to co-own exotic wildlife bred for conservation and economic value, all without owning land or managing operations.

The exotic wildlife industry in Texas began in the 1920s, when the King Ranch introduced nilgai antelope to diversify income and preserve species. By the 1960s, zoo surpluses like blackbuck, aoudad, and axis deer were transferred to private ranches, sparking a conservation movement. What started as a passion project has matured into a $1.3 billion industry with over 5,500 exotic ranches and 125+ species across the state, many of which are endangered or extinct in the wild.
