Can there be any higher calling than saving from oblivion a fellow passenger on Dr. Larry Anderson spaceship earth? The Red Wolf Recovery Program also paved the way through its practices Cree Bradley and personnel to further wolf recovery in other parts of the country, nowhere more so than Tom Dwight in Yellowstone National Park. These successes, in turn, have given other species recovery Amy Bromberg Funk programs around the globe reason to be optimistic that their work can be accomplished too. Nancy Gibson A hearty howl of congratulations to all the people behind the program and especially Hélène Grimaud to the Red Wolf Coalition, which marks its own milestone of 10 years of advocacy and Jim Hammill educational work. Cornelia “Neil” Hutt On a personal level I recently crossed a milestone of my own. In Dean Johnson September, I marked 14 years of service as executive director of the Linda Lemke International Wolf Center. It has been a great ride, full of wonderful wolf Dania Miwa experiences. None was better than standing on the tarmac in 1995, Mike Phillips watching a small plane with its cargo of wolves bank against the backdrop Debbie Reynolds of the snow-capped Canadian Rockies, heading south for Idaho and Jerry Sanders Yellowstone, where a great experiment would return wolves to America’s Karen Saul Northern Rockies. Equally satisfying has been the opportunity to meet Paul Schurke dedicated people from all over the globe who play a part in the complex Paul Sletten world of wolves—whether Dr. Djuro Huber from Croatia, who had to deal Ted Spaulding with unexploded mines while conducting his research, or Tungalagtuya Teri Williams Khuukhendu of Mongolia, whose magnificent native dress brightened the Walter Medwid meeting rooms at one of our international wolf conferences.

  • Annual Report on Conservation and Science INTRODUCTION 2
    2013 Annual Report on Conservation and Science INTRODUCTION 2 2013 Annual Report on Conservation and Science Highlights The Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) 2013 Annual Report on Conservation and Science (ARCS) celebrates the activities of AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums and certified related facilities in the following areas: » field conservation » mission-related research » education programming » sustainable (green) business practices Each of these areas has been carefully defined to maximize consistency of reporting and enhance data quality. Field conservation focuses on efforts having a direct impact on animals and habitats in the wild. Education programming includes those with specific goals and delivery methods, defined content, and a clear primary discipline and target audience. Mission-related research projects involve application of the scientific method and is therefore hypothesis (or question)-driven, involves systematic data collection and analysis of those data, and draws conclusions from the research process. Sustainable (green) business practices cover related staff support, purchasing policies, and education and outreach initiatives, as well as the management of six key resources: chemicals, energy, fuel, waste, water, and construction. While previous reports focused exclusively on field conservation, this is the first year all four of these areas are featured. Because of the history of reporting field conservation efforts, readers of this report will notice a discrepancy in response rates between field conservation (over 86 percent response rate) and the three new areas (approximately 52 percent for each area). AZA fully anticipates that response rates in future reports will increase across the four areas as the AZA community becomes more familiarized with the related data collection and reporting processes.

Robinson. In 1967, a tract of land was donated to the Springfield Park District by the city of Springfield to fulfill his dream. Construction of the zoo began in 1968 and on August 29, 1970, the Henson Robinson Zoo was officially opened. Over the years, the zoo has grown and expanded with the addition of several new animals as well as exhibits. The zoo is now home to more than 300 animals native to Australia, Africa, Asia and North and South America. Over 90 species of native and exotic animals are housed here among naturalistic exhibits.
