More Engaging Every Day

2010 Annual Report MORE ENGAGING EVERY DAY

Woodland Dear Friends of , Park Zoo Saves We’re always thankful to reflect on and appreciate all that our friends help us accomplish. Even with the challenging times all nonprofits and families still face, 2010 was a successful year animals and in which we debuted more engaging ways to inspire people to learn, care and act. their habitats While there are many examples highlighted in these pages, we’d like to reflect on two that illustrate the power of the zoo’s unique ability to engage. through In addition to our always-inspiring exhibits, classes and camps, the summer experience program, conservation “Share the Habitat – Eat Local,” a partnership with Cascade Harvest Coalition, Puget Sound Fresh and others, helped visitors explore the connections between locally sourced food and leadership healthy ecosystems. More than 7,000 visitors acknowledged the power of their personal and engaging actions by committing to the Eat Local Pledge and incorporating wildlife-friendly food choices into their everyday lives. Another 30,000 visitors responded by donating to our Partners for experiences, Wildlife or purchasing conservation commerce. Year after year, our zoo connects people to the many ways we can appreciate, enjoy and protect our natural world. inspiring people Another illustration of the uniquely engaging of all our programs and partnerships to learn, care is our new logo, which you can see on this report’s cover. Designed to reflect our evolv- and act. ing brand as a conservation organization, it visually conveys how, more than ever before, the zoo brings people closer to awe-inspiring animals and provides them the knowledge and tools to protect the habitats all species need. Are those the stripes of an endangered tiger? Are they grasses in a critical wetland? You decide. Also reflecting that evolution, we changed the name of our fundraising campaign to More Wonder More Wild and celebrat- ed a multi-year milestone: raising 69% of our $80 million goal. We launched the campaign’s community phase in March 2011, and invite you to learn more at morewonder.org.

Woodland Park Zoo continues to be financially healthy and we’re decidedly optimistic about the future. But our optimism is fueled most by the tangible difference our friends help us make in animals’ and peoples’ lives, whether saving endangered tigers, bears and in Asia; engaging one million guests in hands-on and conservation learning; helping rural villagers in Papua New Guinea preserve their rain forests; or taking excellent care of our 1,000 animal ambassadors.

Through and through, our dedicated board members, donors, zoo members, volunteers and friends have stood firmly by us.B ecause of you, we are becoming more engaging every day – creating more wonder for our community and more wild for our world. Thank you for being on our team.

Sincerely,

Deborah B. Jensen, Ph.D. Stuart V. Williams President and CEO chair, Board of Directors

3 A Homecoming for the Mob – of Meerkats! Scorpions for dinner, anyone? Think culinary delicacy for these African savanna sentinels that returned to the zoo after a 10-year absence. The new exhibit, presented by U.S. Bank and The Seattle Times, inspires a real-life peek inside a meerkat manor as the animals scam- per through burrows and take turns as sentinels atop naturalistic outcroppings. Bug feed- ings and keeper talks explore the highly developed social system meerkats have evolved to survive. Nearby, several species from the zoo’s former Night Exhibit also debuted in 2010 in newly renovated exhibit spaces in the Adaptations Building, thanks to generous support from the BNSF Foundation, our Wild at Heart donors and others.

Did you know? 12,346 students in King County and statewide engaged in Wild Wise, Up CLOSE and Ready, Set, Discover, the zoo’s outreach education programs. Fifty-six percent of these students came from schools with 30% or more students on free or reduced-rate lunch. More than 250 teachers participated in teacher professional development programs at the zoo.

The tween and teen years are a critical phase in the development of ecological awareness and the next generation of conservation-minded citizens. Now, more middle schoolers and teens will have the opportunity to learn about ecology, conservation, and science careers thanks to a generous $150,000 grant to the zoo from the prestigious Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). New partnerships with community-based and after- school programs will engage more youth in hands-on zoo curricula and activities – whether mentoring early learners in Zoomazium, rehabilitating marine habitats, or releasing endan- gered Northwest turtles and frogs into the wild. Serving more youth goes to the heart of our mission to inspire people of all ages to learn, care and act.

Record Release of Endangered Did you know? Frogs into the Wild In 2010, 749 volunteers and 675 individuals from Scientists, zoo staff and community volunteers celebrated the most successful year ever in our endeavor to recover this Northwest native species. More than 1,300 endangered corporate and other Oregon spotted frogs were released into a protected wetland area near Joint Base Lewis- service groups gave McChord, near Olympia. With project oversight from the NW Zoo & Aquarium Alliance, more than 77,000 hours the frogs are collected from the wild as eggs by Washington Department of Fish and Wild- life biologists and then placed at Woodland Park Zoo, Oregon Zoo, , and to the zoo – that’s a Cedar Creek Corrections Center for hatching and rearing.

A Limited Edition Worth Saving One fifth of the world’s vertebrates teeter on the edge of extinction.I n a new public aware- ness campaign, the zoo collaborated with prominent PacificN orthwest artists to create and auction a series of stunning “Limited Edition” prints. Donated to the zoo, the prints featured six highly endangered animals the zoo and its conservation partners work to protect: Suma- tran tigers, African wild dogs, golden tamarins, red crowned cranes, Panamanian golden frogs and western pond turtles. Augmented with traditional and social media to educate our community about the zoo’s role in wildlife and habitat protection, the online auction and web sales raised $7,000 to support the zoo’s mission.

Walking the talk of a sustainable zoo, in December a comprehensive five-year Sustainability Plan was approved by the zoo’s Board of Directors and endorsed by a $2 million campaign goal. The ambitious plan builds on more than two decades of success as an early adopter of green operations, from our extremely popular Zoo Doo compost and organically managed historic Rose Garden to designing entire exhibits with nature in mind. Significant reductions in energy and water use, and in waste and combustion fuels, combined with engaging one million guests in positive actions will achieve further reductions in our carbon emissions: to 7% below 1999 levels by 2012, and 20% by 2020. As one of the most aggressive plans in the nation, it reflects our commitment to Northwest values and serves as a model for living and working in harmony with nature.

In Memoriam Two legendary zoo figures passed away in 2010: WallyE nglish, , and Dana Payne, curator of reptiles and amphibians. Both long-time WPZ employees were highly accomplished profession- als who contributed greatly to our conservation mission. English was proud to help launch the zoo's Eagle Release Program in 1971 and more recently to "head start" endangered turtles in our Western Pond Turtle Recovery Project. Payne's work spanned innovative electronic recordkeep- ing for amphibian conservation in Panama; recovering endangered Northwest turtles and frogs; and helping to develop an online database for providing life-saving antivenom to poison control emergency responders nationwide. Both gentlemen dedicated their lives to helping visitors and professionals protect our planet's wonderful diversity of life. We miss them tremendously.

13 Little Turtles: Big Heart Hannah Madsen and Sophia Rascoff Five-year-old Hannah Madsen became so enamored of Woodland Park Zoo’s endangered western pond turtles that she recruited her best pal, Sophia Rascoff, to help her raise money in support of our program. Together (and with a little help from mom, Susan), the pair solicited pastries from local businesses, as well as a few homemade goodies, and had a bake sale to raise funds. Their efforts netted more than $360 for the turtles and a meet-and-greet with the hatchling turtles bound for the ponds in southwest Washington last summer. Hannah and Sophia show that stewardship has no age limit and that conservation is a community effort, whether the animals are those far away or right here in our own backyard. Teaching children the many benefits of generosity is a natural when paired with animals. The zoo can help create the next generation of stewards – and Hannah and Sophia prove it’s never too early to start!
