Terrey at Franklin Park Zoo. John MacNeil Mark Vaughan, Esq. Mitsou MacNeil Dear Zoo Supporters,

Fiscal Year 2017 was a year of incredible progress and growth at both Zoos, most exemplified by the much-anticipated September opening of Nature’s Neighborhoods – the new George Robert White Fund Children’s Zoo at Franklin Park Zoo. By exploring varied habitats in this exciting new $7.2 million space, children begin to understand the roles that living creatures, including themselves, play in healthy, thriving environments.

At Stone Zoo, construction was well underway for the new Animal Discovery Center and new Welcome Center with improved visitor amenities including a new entrance and ticketing area, new restrooms, and a new gift shop. These upgrades to Stone Zoo will increase customer satisfaction, help attract new visitors, and assist in increasing revenues. The Animal Discovery Center, opened in the summer of 2017, features hands-on programming, interactive learning opportunities, animal exhibits, and other elements that teach children about the big role that smaller creatures, such as honeybees, amphibians and reptiles, play in healthy ecosystems.

During a zoo visit, guests of all ages have the opportunity to connect in meaningful, and memorable ways, to the species in our care – to truly learn about them, what their wild cousins are facing and why conservation is so important.

Our animal family expanded in FY 17 with the births of a Masai giraffe, Linne’s two-toed sloth, a bongo, a reindeer, markhor goat, and prairie dog pups, among many others. At Stone Zoo, we welcomed three Chacoan peccaries, an endangered species closely resembling a hairy wild pig, who made their exhibit debut in August. With our commitment to educating the next generation of conservation stewards, we were especially pleased to welcome 64,789 Massachusetts schoolchildren who visited as part of school field trips.

In FY 17, we began work in earnest to achieve the goals mapped out in the Strategic Plan, which was developed by the Strategic Planning Committee comprised of members of our highly engaged Board of Directors, Advisory Council members and members of the Executive Team. This plan is designed to advance our mission delivery and conservation impact, increase the value of the our Zoos to the region, as well as expand capacity to create fun and engaging experiences that connect all of our visitors to the wonders of the natural world. We are fortunate to have highly-skilled professional staff, a strong core of devoted volunteers, a talented Advisory Council, and a dedicated Board of Directors to ensure that we are able to deliver on our mission, now and in the future.

We are grateful to the loyal and generous Zoo members, donors, and volunteers who help us provide meaningful experiences that will be remembered long after our visitors leave our zoos. With your continued support, we will realize our vision for these beloved Zoos and inspire caring and action in all of our guests.

Sincerely,

Significant Animal Achievements

Throughout FY 17, we celebrated the births and hatches of many new animals at Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo. ZNE participates in a wide range of Species Survival Plans (SSPs), which are cooperative, inter-zoo programs coordinated nationally through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). SSPs help to ensure the survival of selected species in zoos and aquariums, most of which are threatened or endangered, and enhance conservation of these species in the wild.

Visitors to Franklin Park Zoo noticed several new furry faces following the birth of a female bongo in April, and the tiny prairie dog pups who emerged from their burrows in May. Notable hatchings at Franklin Park Zoo included two pygmy falcons, a Cabot’s tragopan, an ostrich (a first for Franklin Park Zoo) and the successful hatches of two endangered Siberian cranes. Franklin Park Zoo, the only zoo to exhibit these birds on the East Coast, is home to eight Siberian cranes including the new chicks. Since 1999, there have been 13 chicks hatched at Franklin Park Zoo - the first zoo in North America to successfully breed these birds.

Throughout the year, the staff at Stone Zoo was seeing double with the successful births of markhor goat twins in May, rock hyrax twins in August (a first for Stone Zoo), and red-rumped agouti twins in September and April. Other significant births at Stone Zoo included a Linne’s two-sloth in November and a female reindeer calf in May.

Not all new additions were born at the Zoos. In August, a trio of Chacoan peccaries, an endangered species closely resembling a hairy wild pig, made their exhibit debut at Stone Zoo. At Franklin Park Zoo, we welcomed a female Bactrian camel, and it is hoped that she and our resident camel, Gulliver, will successfully reproduce in the future. Found in isolated areas of the Gobi desert in Mongolia and China, Bactrian camels, which are critically endangered in the wild, are built for harsh climates with temperature extremes.

Each animal is truly an ambassador for its species and has a story to tell about the importance of wildlife protection, habitat preservation and preserving biodiversity. Management of animals within and cooperatively between institutions accredited by AZA is vital for ensuring healthy, genetically diverse populations.

In FY 17, Zoo New England presented a number of larger- scale evening events that were truly unique to the Greater Boston social and culture landscape. ZNE’s annual fundraising gala, Zootopia, saw its most successful year to date with 398 guests, raising a record-breaking $455,490. In addition to Zootopia, a host of other annual events were well received throughout the year including the ever-popular Brew at the Zoo, Uncorked, and the new Roaring Nights: Fun in the Tropics, where guests enjoyed a night out in Franklin Park Zoo’s Tropical Forest building. Stone Zoo’s always-anticipated A Wild Affair celebrated its 13th year, while Ales and Tails once again proved popular.

Experiences like these and so many others uniquely position our Zoos to connect a wide range of audiences to the vast wonders of nature through exploration, discovery, play, education, and imagination. Visitors leave with a greater appreciation for the natural world that can stay with them long after their visits.

Now more than ever, Zoos are critically important in saving Right here at home, ZNE reintroduced a group of marbled wildlife from extinction. Each and every day, Zoos, like Zoo salamanders back into the Middlesex Fells Reservation, one New England’s Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo, are working of their most important former homes that had not been to save species from extinction while also serving as centers occupied by this threatened species for nearly 80 years.

Our mission – our passion – is next few years, were raised at Stone Zoo from larvae collected to inspire and educate the next generation of conservation in vernal pools in western Massachusetts. This work is in stewards and leaders, and a critical component of achieving partnership with Grassroots Wildlife Conservation (GWC), our mission is based in having meaningful impact in the who we continue to actively participate with in the successful conservation of wildlife, both locally and globally. Blanding’s turtle head-start program.

ZNE encourages people of all ages to take an active role in sustaining healthy ecosystems right in their own back yards. Through the Franklin Park Biodiversity Project, the local community is invited to participate alongside Zoo staff to identify and monitor populations of species found right in Franklin Park. Under the leadership of Dr. Eric Baitchman, Zoo New England Director of Animal Health and Conservation, staff from Zoo New England and GWC have conducted seasonal surveys to record observations of wildlife within the “Wilderness” and other sections of Franklin Park, outside of Franklin Park Zoo’s gates. Each survey, or bio-blitz, is conducted over nine days during which time staff catalogues observations of mammals, amphibians, birds, reptiles, invertebrates, plants, and even fungi. In total, over 300 species have been identified thus far.

Within the Zoos, guests have the opportunity to have a direct impact on a variety of wildlife conservation programs. The Quarters for Conservation program dedicates 25 cents from each admission and $2.50 from each membership to ZNE’s conservation efforts, allowing us to greatly expand funding dedicated to our mission imperative. FY 17 funds from Quarters for Conservation supported projects including: PICTURED ABOVE: In December 2016, Chris Bartos, as Assistant Curator at Franklin Park Zoo, traveled to u The Cheetah Conservation Fund, whose primary Namibia to work with the Cheetah Conservation Fund activities include monitoring and detection of cheetah (CCF).

ZNE, along with a coalition of local partners, continues work to support legislation in Massachusetts banning the sale of ivory and rhinoceros horn. This measure will help curb the escalating global crisis of wildlife trafficking, which is partly fueled by the U.S. ivory market—one of the largest worldwide. African forest elephants face extinction in the next 20 years and rhinos also face a bleak future if action is not taken now.

ZNE is also proud to support the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ SAFE initiative (Saving Animals from Extinction), a bold effort focused on saving species. AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums are part of an integrated network of conservation partners, which spend a combined $216 million a year on the u A program aimed to preserve the genetic integrity and conservation of animals in the wild.
