Celebrating 1 Years Annual Report 2016 – 2017 Securing a shared future for wildlife and people celebrating 1�� years 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2016–2017 TARONGA 100 3 A share� future wildlife At Taronga Zoo andpe�ple Taronga Western Plains Zoo, we believe that wildlife and people can share this planet. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just in our lifetimes, but for generations of the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to change lives and create conservation champions eager to engage with their communities to value the wildlife in their care, and around the world. Our activities range from resolving human-elephant conflict in Mozambique, to successfully breeding critically endangered Bellinger River turtles and transforming Australian school children into conservation champions. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, from tiny vibrant Corroboree Frogs to Australasia’s first Greater One-horned Rhino calf. We work in partnerships to support 44 research and conservation projects across Australia, and a further 25 programs around the globe. Our Zoos are not-for-profit organisations. We pay no dividends, and any surplus is put straight back into support, care and conservation of wildlife.

    Leading � rec�very Annual Report 2019–2020 TARONGA ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 A SHARED FUTURE � WILDLIFE AND PE�PLE At Taronga we believe that together we can find a better and more sustainable way for wildlife and people to share this planet. Taronga recognises that the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems are the life support systems for our own species' health and prosperity. At no time in history has this been more evident, with drought, bushfires, climate change, global pandemics, habitat destruction, ocean acidification and many other crises threatening natural systems and our own future. Whilst we cannot tackle these challenges alone, Taronga is acting now and working to save species, sustain robust ecosystems, provide experiences and create learning opportunities so that we act together. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just for us in our lifetimes, but for generations into the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to create conservation advocates that value wildlife, speak up for nature and take action to help create a future where both people and wildlife thrive. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, with our program for 11 Legacy Species representing an increased commitment to six Australian and five Sumatran species at risk of extinction. The Koala was added as an 11th Legacy Species in 2019, to reflect increasing threats to its survival. In the last 12 months alone, Taronga partnered with 28 organisations working on the front line of conservation across 17 countries.

  • Ssd 15 7228, Sydney Zoo
    26 July 2017 Mr David Mooney Team Leader Secretariat Planning Assessment Commission Level 3, 201 Elizabeth Street, Sydney NSW 2000 Dear David, SSD 15_7228, SYDNEY ZOO On behalf of Elanor Investors Group, the owners and operators of Featherdale Wildlife Park, we make the following response to the Social Impact Assessment by UTS for the Sydney Zoo dated 11 July 2017 (UTS SIA) and the response of Sydney Zoo dated April 2017 (Zoo RTS) lodged in support of the above SSD application. In summary we submit: 1. That the PAC cannot be satisfied with the response provided by the proponent to its request for additional information, and the PAC should not accept the UTS conclusions; 2. The development application should be refused for the reasons outlined in the Urbis letter dated 3 November 2016 because there is likely to be a material impact on the visitor numbers to Featherdale (an impact not denied by the UTS SIA although ranked as a lower risk based on UTS’s but not Urbis’ predictions) and therefore on the ability of Featherdale to maintain programs which have material positive environmental, economic and social benefits. These programs have developed over a 45 year period and cannot readily be replicated in the locality. 3. If the PAC determines to approve the development application, it should only do so with the imposition of a condition prohibiting the exhibition of any native animals so that the operations of Sydney Zoo and Featherdale are differentiated and complementary. Sydney Zoo response to PAC request for further information We have not been provided with a copy of the PAC request for further information, but have sought to understand the request from the contents of the Zoo RTS.
