    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.

  • Draft Terms of Reference for Puma (Puma Concolor)
    Draft Terms of Reference for Puma (Puma concolor) Michael Durham/Nature Picture Library Proposal Summary Puma concolor (Linnaeus, 1771) is a large slender American cat species known by a myriad of names including, cougar, mountain lion, catamount and panther. It occupies the most extensive range of any New World terrestrial mammal (Nielsen et al., 2015). This species was formerly captive in Australia in a sizeable population, kept and bred at several zoos and parks. Puma are covered by the zoo carnivore felidae policy. The last major zoo in the country to hold them was Melbourne Zoo (their last animal dying in 2011) and until recently there were also two females at Dreamworld, which died in 2016 and March 2018. Puma concolor have been safely exhibited in Australia since the seventies (Bullen’s Animal World, Australia), without any record being found of incidence. Currently the only captive puma (female 17 years) remaining in Australia is under the care of Zambi Wildlife Retreat (ZWR) and will soon be transferred to their exhibitors’ license on completion and NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) approval of their new puma exhibit. Zambi Wildlife Retreat would like to provide co-habitation for the last puma in Australian captivity, along with the opportunity to exhibit both sexes of the species for education. ZWR was approved by the NSW DPI in September 2017 to construct a new exhibited puma enclosure. The exhibit is a 4.2m high fully enclosed 324sqm naturalistic habitat with a 50sqm off exhibit holding yard and a further 30sqm of den space. The exhibit is capable of housing 3 individuals comfortably.
