The cubs came to the San Francisco Zoo after rehabilitation at the Alaska Zoo and are thriving in their new home. Male found outside Valdez, Alaska, May 2017. Animal rescue is an important component of the Society’s strategic vision, tying together our work in animal conservation, wellness, and advocacy, as well as raising awareness of human impact on animal habitats and the environment. 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.
