YEAR OF WONDER 2012 Annual Report YEAR OF WONDER

Woodland Dear Friends, Explorer and conservationist Jacques Cousteau is thought to have said that the happiness Park Saves of animals, marine or land, is to exist; for humans it is to know that and wonder at it.

animals and Every day, thousands of youths, teachers and families embody this truism at Woodland their habitats Park Zoo. For many, wonder is learning about biodiversity or the storied lives of favorite creatures. For others, it’s the discovery of science or hands-on conservation. For still through others, it’s pure enjoyment of nature with family. Wonder for everyone is what this great community asset is all about. conservation Last year began our second decade of a 20-year, public-private partnership with the City of leadership and area residents. Together, we are creating a 21st century zoo: versatile, relevant and robust. Several 2012 efforts illustrate these qualities particularly well. and engaging As part of our vision for a more year-round, all-weather zoo we introduced WildLights, our experiences, new winter festival. Tens of thousands of people enjoyed stunning LED-lit displays of animals inspiring people and wild places, contributing to our third best year for attendance. to learn, care We continue to broaden our reach so that more people can enjoy the zoo’s wonders. Last year our School-to-Zoo and Community Access programs brought some of our highest and act. numbers ever of students, teachers and chaperones from low-income schools and families supported by service agencies to the zoo.

Deepening the science and fun of interactive learning experiences remains a priority in all our programs and exhibits so as to inspire more conservation action. For example, tigers evoke awe in us, which can inspire humans to do great things. In 2012, we began a new 10-year, $1 million Partners for Wildlife project with Panthera to save tigers in Malaysia and we broke ground on the new Bamboo Forest Reserve exhibit complex. The Asian small-clawed otters portion is now open. When campaign fundraising is done, we’ll usher in new tiger and sloth bear exhibits. Connecting zoo learning to action will be an innovative conservation center that will engage millions of guests in the science and strategy of saving wild tigers.

Delivering on our mission creates positive impact here and beyond. As of 2012, our public-private partnership had generated more than $800 million in economic benefits to residents and businesses in the Puget Sound region.

All these achievements belong to you. Thank you to all our generous zoo members and supporters. YOU make wonder possible.

Sincerely,

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

ACHIEVEMENTS TOP TEN OF 2012 WPZ AND PANTHERA UNITE TO SAVE THE TIGER A proud moment in 2012 was the establishment of a 10-year, $1 million collaboration with Panthera, the leading wild cat conservation group, the Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks (MDWNP), and Malaysian tiger conservation experts. Fewer than 500 Malayan tigers remain in Peninsular Malaysia’s central forest region. Our project helps the Malayan government carry out a plan to double this number by 2022 in the Taman Negara National Park, a1,000,000-acre rain forest sanctuary. In 2012, our collaboration began by helping the Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers (MYCAT) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) train 80 new, in-country rangers in improved intelligence gathering and anti-poaching techniques. Getting more boots, eyes and modern communications technology on the ground is a crucial step to mapping and protecting core tiger breeding areas. Tigers need the world’s help. We must not fail them.

LIONS, SNOW LEOPARDS, AND BEARS: OH MY! A “boom” began around the zoo in 2012, a baby boom, that is. Among the highlights were snow leopard cubs born in May, four Krugeri cubs born in November (the first lion cubs born at WPZ in 19 years!) and twin sloth bear cubs in December. Babies sure are cute, but most importantly these births help to raise awareness of the conservation issues their counterparts face in the wild. Visitors flocked to catch their first glimpses of these amazing creatures learning to scamper, climb, chase and play under their moms’ careful tutelage.

5 5 POUCH OF JOY, PORCINES JOIN ZOO “My daughter is so In June we celebrated a very small arrival — a Matschie’s tree kangaroo enthusiastic about joey the size of a bean. The rare birth was part of the Species Survival science now.” Plan cooperative breeding program for this endangered species, which our acclaimed Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program is working to protect in Papua – Rachel, New Guinea. After many months, the joey emerged healthy from mom’s pouch. ZooCrew parent It was worth the wait. Look at that face! Also last summer, some mighty fine swine joined the zoo family: African warthogs, the wild pigs of the savanna, “ZooCrew really and critically endangered Visayan warty pigs, the punk rockers of the pig world native to central Philippines, greeted visitors in the traditional way, by rooting, opened my eyes dusting, and wallowing in dirt. Their status in the wild is very fragile, having lost about what was 95% of their forested range to human activity. Only 12 accredited zoos exhibit happening to Visayan warty pigs, and thanks to very generous donors and members, we are now among them. carnivores (…) and what I as a GETTING KIDS HOOKED ON SCIENCE person could do to help them.” ZooCrew, a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) enrichment youth program, in 2012 introduced nearly 300 more low-income, minority – Nina, middle and underserved middle school students in Seattle to science learning at school student the zoo. Here they engage in hands-on, real-world science and ecology problems in summer and after-school programs. With help from our staff and animals, students learn to use scientific inquiry and technology to understand and define problems, and to propose solutions to benefit wildlife and the environment. Meanwhile, our Wild Wise program extended the reach of zoo- and school-based science inquiry to 1,100 Kent 4th-7th graders. A new program, Coexisting with Carnivores, piloted in Issaquah in 2012, engaged 200 6th graders in science investigations on native large carnivores (bears, cougars and wolves) in their communities and these species’ roles in local ecosystems.

National research as learners navigate shows that people want to understand climate change and mitigate it. So, informal environments leading zoos are forging the path. Thanks to the Boeing Charitable Foundation, and science in school.” our 2011 and 2012 summer programs piloted a new suite of interactive climate change learning activities. On Thin Ice, Tipping Point, Penguins in the Source: Learning Science in Balance, and others engaged all ages in activities of hope, imagination and Informal Environments: People, innovation. We also developed an enhanced mobile app function so visitors Places and Pursuits, 2009, can pledge their own conservation actions, share and track them. National Research Council Given positive feedback, further program integration is planned.

WISE CLOSES SCIENCE GAP Washington ranks number one in new science and tech hires, but 49th in the mismatch between the STEM skills employers need and skilled graduates to hire. As demand will only increase, informal science centers must play an even greater role in the STEM learning ecosystem. Thus, in 2012 Zoo, , Burke Museum, IslandWood, Museum of Flight and Pacific Science Center joined together to create WISE, the Washington Informal Science Education Consortium. Together we’ll deliver more hands-on, inquiry-driven science learning to Washington youth than any of our institutions could alone.

Launched in 2012, zoo biologists and naturalists in the Amphibian Monitoring Project trained and led teams of citizen scientists to survey amphibian egg masses in local ponds and wetlands. Collected April to August, the data help researchers and state biologists monitor indicator species and inform land policy near western Washington rivers and wetlands. Project partners include Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Seattle Parks and Recreation, Point Defiance Zoo &A quarium and Wildlife Park.

A TRIFECTA FOR TREE KANGAROOS Since the 2009 decree of the 187,000-acre Yopno-Uruwa-Som Conservation Area (YUS CA) in Papua New Guinea (PNG), the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program has worked to transition the CA to local community-based management. By 2012, four new YUS field offices had opened; a Landscape Plan was finalized and new ranger team trained; and more than 51% of the CA’s forests, grasslands and coral reefs was officially mapped. Local CA management is slated to achieve nonprofit status in 2013-14.

KIDS LEAD THE WAY – TYLER CARTER, AGE 10 Together with his family’s leadership gift to the Bamboo Forest Reserve exhibit, Tyler is the first child to return aT iger Bank to the zoo. Tiger Banks help the zoo build a new home for endangered Malayan tigers and Asian sloth bears. Who or what inspired you to give to the zoo? It would help feed the animals and build new habitats for them. If you could tell other children how it feels to give to the zoo, what would you say? It feels great giving money to the zoo because it means you are helping animals. What difference do you hope your gifts make at the zoo? To help the tigers and sloth bear exhibit and have the tigers still be there. What have you learned at Woodland Park Zoo? I think it is important for animals to live in habitats in the zoo that look like the habitats they would live in in the wild. 13 Photo courtesy of Carter Family KIDS LEADTHE WAY – LUCAS ENGLES-KLANN, AGE 8 Each year since age 3, Lucas has passionately led his family and friends to raise nearly $12,000 to support WPZ animal care and tiger exhibit design. Lucas envisions a world in which people and animals share the planet harmoniously. But he is not just a dreamer. He’s a doer with a fire to light under the feet of everyone he meets. In a letter to the community which he shared with our Board of Directors, Lucas urged all to join his cause: “I am here today because I love animals and want to save them. People are killing animals and their environment. Zoos teach people about animals and their habitats. (….) I think everyone should help by saving their favorite animal. (….) It’s a big challenge, but with the zoo’s help, I can do it and so can you.”
