DEFINING THE FUTURE — ADVANCING CONSERVATION

Indianapolis Prize The world’s leading award for animal conservation

A love of the world’s wild creatures often starts at a young age. The small child whose parents take him to the Zoo and let him gaze into the eyes of a lion cub, marvel at a majestic elephant, and watch in awe at an orangutan traveling overhead — that makes a lasting impression and hopefully a lifetime of connection to wildlife conservation. The same is true for 2016 Indianapolis Prize Winner Dr. Carl Jones. At six years old, his earliest dream was to have his own zoo with every species of animal in the world. The realization that he couldn’t manage his youthful dream led Carl to a new goal which turned into a lifetime of saving species.

Carl won the coveted Indianapolis Prize, the world’s leading award for animal conservation, because his lifetime of work exemplifies what it truly means to save a species from extinction. In a first for a Winner announcement, the Prize team left American soil to reveal that Carl Jones had won what has been referred to by many as the “Individuals can, and do, make a difference. “Nobel Prize for animal conservation.” It is not committees and organizations that A humble Welshman, Carl noted that he stood on the shoulders create change but people with drive and of those who inspired and mentored him, people with a common message. According to Carl, “Individuals can, and do, make a vision, who can work with others and difference. It is not committees and organizations that create develop collaborations.” Dr. Carl Jones change but people with drive and vision, who can work with others and develop collaborations.”

6 7 DEFINING THE FUTURE — ADVANCING CONSERVATION

It is with remarkable collaboration and support from Eli Lilly and Company that the Prize has flourished during the last decade since its inception. And Cummins Inc. has made it possible to present a glamorous Gala in Indianapolis where Carl accepted his award and closed his acceptance speech with thoughts from Welsh poet Dylan Thomas who penned these encouraging words for his own dying father.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old men should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. “Our children and our fellow creatures deserve to live on a peaceful and verdant planet.” Thomas’ message serves as a metaphor for Sigourney Weaver, Global Wildlife Ambassador Carl in his fight to save species from extinction.

Weaver noted that it was a privilege to add her voice and support The 2016 Indianapolis Prize achieved to the world’s real conservation heroes who do so much. Grateful 2 billion earned media impressions — a record for her opportunity to lend her celebrity status to advancing animal number for the Prize.

REDEFINING WHAT WE KNOW

Groundbreaking Research

The Indianapolis Zoo and the Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center made international headlines when groundbreaking data released through Durham University offered clues into the evolution of human speech. Research conducted with orangutan Rocky revealed a previously unknown level of vocal learning for orangutans and we quickly discovered that the world wanted to know about it.

Rocky can accurately mimic the pitch and tone from a human demonstrator, which is a first for an orangutan. In the study, Rocky mimicked more than 500 vowel-like sounds. This provides new insights as it had been thought that apes were not able to control their voices and make new sounds.

Zoo Director Dr. Rob Shumaker (a co-author on the study) was interviewed by multiple news agencies, including The New York Times, BBC News, Washington Post, CBS News, and much more. International coverage was highly concentrated in the UK but also spread to India, Australia, Austria, and beyond. NBC’s The Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon referred to Rocky’s abilities in his monologue on July 28.

“It really redefines for us what we know about the capabilities of orangutans. What we have to consider now is the possibility that the origins of BBC News: Orangutan “copies human speech” spoken language are not The Washington Post: Watch: This orangutan is exclusively human and that uprooting what we previously knew about language they may have come from great apes.” The New York Times: An Orangutan’s Mimicry Dr. Rob Shumaker Offers Clues to Language’s Origins Director of the Indianapolis Zoo Photo: Nina M.

REDEFINING WHAT WE KNOW

Changing Hearts and Minds

Living upstream from the wild dolphins that inhabit the Gulf of Mexico, Hoosiers have a lasting impact on the health of the Gulf and the dolphins who live there. Through a partnership with The Nature Conservancy, the Zoo has helped increase public awareness of the courageous people creating change in order to ensure wild dolphins thrive in a healthy environment.

In an effort to connect hearts and minds, the Zoo’s dolphin pod now helps educate the public on the amount of toxins in the Gulf that flow from Indiana. The Zoo launched an all-new dolphin presentation using a contemporary, high-tech video screen and sound system in the dolphin pavilion. Even more remarkable, the new presentation has made a strong impact with the public, creating a powerful connection between dolphins and humans.

WITNESSING MIRACLES — CELEBRATING SUCCESS

Sirih and Mila With each birth at the Indianapolis Zoo comes a miracle and great cause for celebration. The birth of a rare Sumatran orangutan (pictured below) was the start of an enduring journey for mom and daughter. Baby Mila will stay close to mom Sirih for many years to come. She will also inspire millions of people to find out more about her critically endangered species.

Kim and Max The Zoo took action after an emergency outreach request to assist with the declining health of a newborn and his mother. Based on the reputation of the Zoo’s veterinary and keeper staff, management philosophy and state-of-the-art facilities, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums requested that Kim, a 38-year-old orangutan, and her baby, Max, be moved to the Indianapolis Zoo. At 9-months-old, Max showed signs of slow development and Kim was overweight with limited mobility.

Nature Connects®: Art with LEGO® Bricks Connecting people with the natural world is what the Indianapolis Zoo is all about. Zoo guests visited the Nature Connects®: Art with LEGO® Bricks display that paired animal sculptures with the stories of some of the world’s most victorious animal conservationists who’ve been honored as Winners or Finalists of the Indianapolis Prize, the world’s leading award for animal conservation. Each animal sculpture helped educate visitors on threats of extinction in the wild.

Community Events The Indianapolis Zoo is one of the largest zoos in the nation that isn’t supported directly by tax dollars. Community events like Zoobilation are an essential part of raising the funds needed to provide first-rate care for the wildlife living at the Zoo. Last year, Zoobilation raised $2.2 million to go toward caring for the animals and saving wild things and wild places.

Bicentennial Pavilion As a nonprofit organization, the Zoo relies heavily on community and local corporate support. Thanks to a generous grant from Lilly Endowment, the Zoo started construction of a game-changing new space that will provide a place for the community to gather year-round. Millions of people will be inspired under the Bicentennial Pavilion’s 40,000 square foot roof as unique and imaginative animal encounters will build a love of wildlife in children and adults. The Pavilion will also provide a weather protected space for reimagined and all-new ZooBoo and Christmas at the Zoo events.

Macaws We’ve been working on two projects: The first is a social study of attitudes toward macaws and their conservation across the Nicoya Peninsula, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The project is ongoing, but we hope to wrap it up very soon. We are working with a young dedicated conservationist named Albert who is traveling to other villages in the area and interviewing people in a more informal way in an effort to get correct information. We’re trying to find out which demographics of the local communities are aware of the conservation challenges of macaws and how they feel about these birds. The results from this study will give us important insights that will help us direct our ongoing education, which in turn will help ensure the macaws we reintroduce to the area are safe and respected. It’s an investment but it will allow optimal use of our limited resources in the future.

Our second project is also ongoing but progressing every day. We are building a veterinary treatment room so that our 100 captive macaws at the breeding center will get the best veterinary care. We are an eco-conscious organization, and this is a marvelous eco-build. We’ve recycled sidewalk that was being dug up in the next village and used it to make the foundation. On top of that, sits a hand-built rock wall that incorporates rocks from the immediate area, and then the walls are made of cob: a mixture of clay, stones, and straw. Cob is similar to adobe, and the walls are built by hand. So every afternoon, once the macaws are fed and cared for, the entire volunteer team is involved in working the cob mix into the layer added the day before. Slowly but surely the walls are growing. Initially we were set back by lots of rain but the team is making up for lost time, and we hope to have the room done very soon, complete with images of flying macaws sculpted into the outside walls!

Gorillas With support from the Indianapolis Zoo and other members of the “Gorilla Council,” the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund reports a very successful year protecting gorillas in Africa in 2016. The Fossey Fund’s gorilla trackers and scientists successfully monitored half of the mountain gorilla population in Rwanda, protecting them from threats, such as snares, and continuing the decades-long collection of information about them. Fossey Fund staff also played a major role Photo: Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International in carrying out the latest full count — or census — of the mountain gorillas in 2016 and continued to expand their conservation education and health programs for local communities.

Fossey Fund scientists also helped get the nearby Grauer’s gorillas, found only in the Democratic Republic of Congo, listed as “critically endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. A fourth Fossey Fund team was added in Congo to help monitor and protect these gorillas, with a fifth team in development. Fossey Fund staff are providing the only protection for these gorillas outside national park areas and are searching the core of their range to identify remaining Grauer’s groups in need of protection.

In addition, the Fossey Fund began a yearlong celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda, which was founded by Dian Fossey in 1967. This included creating and opening a major new public exhibit on gorilla conservation at the center and expanding scientific expertise.

Gorillas and Chimpanzees The ongoing goal of the Goualougo Triangle Ape Project (GTAP) is to improve the conservation status of African apes by addressing a myriad of threats to their survival and building local capacity to protect these species. Through the Indianapolis Zoo’s support, GTAP focused on identifying high conservation value forests based on apes’ ecological needs, exploring health threats related to human- ape overlap, and advancing the professional development of its Congolese staff. Additional aims included suggesting evidence-based refinements of Reduced Impact Logging practices and providing enhanced surveillance and protection of at-risk ape populations in and around the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park.

Perhaps most notably in 2016, GTAP scientists increased their understanding of the direct and indirect impacts of mechanized logging on gorillas and chimpanzees. With the assistance of Olam International, Ltd., the region’s largest logging company, they found a clear relationship between logging times and locations on great ape distribution. The GTAP team confirmed

that logging company data can reliably predict Photo: GTAP where apes will be, and will now extrapolate these findings from the study zone throughout the area’s logging concessions.

This park maintains the largest population of endangered Rothschild’s giraffe in the world and a large number of these giraffes have leg injuries due to snares. In just one herd of about 40 elephants, there are three females with amputated trunks due to snares; one with almost no trunk at all. Surprisingly this young elephant is in relatively good condition due to the lush habitat and availability of water in MFCA, but her future is dim.

The number of snares and traps collected by rangers in just one year can fill a 40’ x 60’ room and new snares are added by poachers to unguarded park lands daily. New ranger stations are constructed of cement and concrete block. The snares and leg hold traps are used in the construction as addition to rebar to help reinforce the concrete. This prevents the snares and traps from ever being used again and solves the problem of how to permanently destroy these horrible devices.

In addition to building more ranger stations in 2017, IEF is initiating a project to study and monitor the elephants who leave MFCA and migrate north into public lands. IEF wants to know why and where these elephants are going in order to develop a conservancy approach to their protection modeled after the gold standard of community conservancy programs, Northern Rangelands Trust in Kenya. None of these efforts would be possible without the generous support of organizations like the Indianapolis Zoo. IEF is proud to have the Indianapolis Zoo as a founding member of its board of directors.

Species Survival The generous support from the Indianapolis Zoo has enabled the Species Survival Commission (SSC) Chair’s Office to provide the means that the SSC network needs in order to deliver the program. Significant progress has been made on: expanding the number of species assessed on the IUCN Red List; enhancing the work of the Amphibian Survival Alliance and the Asian Species Action Partnership; policy development (including on species’ vulnerability to climate change, confiscated animals, recreational fishing, de-extinction, oil palm expansion, trade and use of species threatened with extinction, and use of traditional knowledge in Red List assessments); high-level conservation interventions (for example on turtle dove hunting in Europe, river dolphins in India, an invasive toad in Madagascar, fruit bats in Mauritius, the hooded grebe in Argentina, and crocodiles in Indonesia); developing new conservation standards (most notably the Key Biodiversity Area Standard was finally adopted); addressing the illegal wildlife trade through some major initiatives (especially through engaging local communities in combatting wildlife crime, and advising the CITES Conference of the Parties); and continued enhancement of capacity in red listing worldwide through the increasingly successful deployment of the online training course.

Orangutans in Borneo Photo: Anne Russon 2016 has been another difficult year for orangutans, including those in Kutai National Park. The El Niño that started in 2015 grew into one of the most severe on record and lasted until mid-2016.

For orangutans and their forests, El Niño causes severe, prolonged drought. And droughts are typically accompanied by forest fires. Droughts don’t cause forest fires — people do, often deliberately — but they create forest conditions in which fires are easily started and spread fast and far. Orangutans mainly feed on plants and travel in the trees, so drought and fires, for them, mean vanishing food supplies and brittle travel supports.

Since the drought’s end, our Kutai National Park team has been transplanting seedlings of orangutan food species into the badly drought damaged forest. We transplant only 20-30 seedlings at a time but doing so regularly will eventually lead to large numbers of new trees. We also progressed in finalizing a long-term collaboration with the park authority for orangutan conservation, as well as research; included is a multi-year forest enrichment project funded by the Indianapolis Zoo.

COMMITTING TO SUPPORT GLOBAL CONSERVATION EFFORTS

Elephants in Tanzania The Tarangire elephant population has been lucky to escape the ivory poaching that has drastically affected other parts of Tanzania. Much of this protection can be credited to the dedicated and effective law enforcement of the national parks authority and the community anti-poaching teams outside the national parks. Our Village Game Scouts continue to monitor and patrol the community areas outside Tarangire National Park, and this year they were trained in “SMART” technology — a leading software tool to help with law enforcement monitoring. With our local partners, we have helped conserve an additional 96,000 acres of critical wildlife corridors

A message from the Chairman of the Board

We inspire, we build community, we celebrate success, and we contribute to global conservation efforts because we know that strengthening our future is not an option, it’s a must. If we want to see giraffes thriving in the wild instead of declining in population, we need to be at the forefront of animal conservation. If we want our grandchildren to live in a world with elephants, orangutans, dolphins, and rhinos, we need to cultivate a love of wild things and wild places.

The Indianapolis Zoo’s mission leads to a true connection to nature Credits — a connection that needs to be transferred from one generation to Executive Editor: the next. I have been bringing my family to the Zoo for many years Karen Burns | Executive Vice President and have witnessed true commitment from the staff, volunteers, and generous donors. They are a big reason why I was honored and Senior Editor: Julie McDearmon | Director of Institutional Advancement eager to become the Chairman of the Board. Writer and Editor: Wildlife conservation done the right way can be accepted and Judy Palermo | Senior Manager Public Relations embraced by all. While the future is difficult to know, we do have Production Manager: the confidence that we can make it better than it is today. Jo Hohlbein | Director of Creative Services
