In March 2017, the Department of Interior changed its policy to allow for hunting of hibernating bears. These cubs may have been orphaned as a result of the hunting deaths of their mothers. The cubs came to the San Francisco Zoo after rehabilitation at the Alaska Zoo and are thriving in their new home.

Special thanks to our volunteer photographers, Marianne Hale and May Woon, for their contributions. Dear Friends: What is your Zoo story? Each one of us has a unique connection to the Zoo whether as a visitor, donor, volunteer, partner, or staff member. In this fiscal year 2016–2017 annual report, we are pleased to share a collection of vignettes and stories that together tell the larger narrative of today’s San Francisco Zoo and Gardens as a vibrant space for animal advocacy, conservation, wellness, and community education and engagement. Through the course of the enclosed narrative, we highlight aspects of our story that are often less well known but equally important to the Zoo’s impact as an educational and recreational community resource. This mission work includes the significant field contributions of our amazing staff and their roles as research scientists, veterinary practitioners, and leaders advancing the treatment and protection of wildlife. All of this is further enhanced by our extensive partnerships with external veterinary professionals, wildlife advocates, and educators. Where these internal and external communities intersect is often where the true magic of the Zoo happens. Here are just a few of our favorite stories:

• Our groundbreaking animal wellness and enrichment activities inform our work and the work of colleagues around the world. Examples include our Foobler ball enrichment experiments with our rhino Boone, which will soon be available for other zoos to replicate, and a first-of-its-kind back surgery on a komodo dragon performed in partnership with UCSF, highlighted on page 8.

• Our dynamic new spaces and exhibits elevate animals’ quality of life and enhance visitors’ learning. Examples include our renovated flamingo exhibit that allows coming generations of flamingos to be fully flighted, a pop-up coastal research center that is providing research opportunities and partnerships, and an expanded great ape habitat designed to address the needs of aging primates. Of course, none of this is possible without the immense generosity of our donors. You can read more about each of these exhibits and some of the donors who supported them in the timeline starting on page 2.

• Our renewed long-term commitment to “active conservation programs that aid species survival, research, and conservation, both at home and in the field.” These conservation priorities align to policies outlined by the American and World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. They shape our on-site breeding and acquisitions and similarly guide our field work. Our preservation work to re-populate the San Francisco forktail damselfly in the City’s Presidio further demonstrates the rigor of our methods and the importance of strong cooperative partnerships, in this case with the Presidio Trust and National Park Service, to achieve success. Read more about our conservation activities on page 9. The sum of these activities and relationships, guided by the strong strategic vision of the San Francisco Zoological Society Board of Directors, is a San Francisco Zoo and Gardens that is more relevant than ever as a safe harbor for animals, as a provider of wellness programs and responsible wildlife conservation efforts, and as a community resource for education and advocacy. Whatever your connection to the Zoo, we hope you enjoy this annual report and the stories of our work. Better yet, why not come out to visit and create your own next Zoo story? Sincerely,

Tanya M. Peterson, J.D. Edward G. Poole CEO & Executive Director Chair, Board of Directors

Our Great Ape Project is bringing big changes for our primates. We broke ground in March 2017 on a multimillion dollar renovation of the Pachyderm Building to create a larger habitat for our great apes and a new sky bridge called the Jim Ludwig Passage. This overhead skywalk will link our existing chimpanzee grottoes, home to our chimpanzees Cobby, Maggie, and Minnie to this new indoor space. The expansion will provide the ample space to grow SF Zoo’s chimpanzee troop, providing greater opportunities for these primates to socialize in an environment and in numbers aligned to optimal troop size. It also will incorporate accommodations, including bringing in other great ape species to the Zoo, such as orangutans, as well as expand care facilities for all of our primates as they advance to geriatric age. We look forward to opening the doors of this new exhibit in summer of 2018!
