Too ambitious, said some. Too soon, said others. The zoo and aquarium com- munity doesn’t move that fast, we were told, and five years passes quicker than you think. Now, just one year after signing those Memorandums of Understanding with United Nations Environment and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, I am wondering if we weren’t being too cautious. Many members of the WAZA com- munity are already well down the line addressing issues such as marine litter and plastics and sustainable palm oil, while others are building net-zero-energy facilities, recycling water and converting to solar power. In so doing, they have laid out a road map for WAZA and its members to follow towards 2023. This WAZA News focuses on sustainability in all its forms, and highlights the good work done by leading zoos and aquariums around the world. The Sustain- able Development Goals (SDGs) that were launched by the United Nations in 2016 offer a global framework that commits the world to some hard targets by 2030, a challenging but necessary pathway designed to “end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all”. Now it’s up to WAZA and its members to find areas of strength and focus in the SDGs, and take up leadership positions in this movement. Some of the SDGs might seem an easy fit for the WAZA community, such as those that address issues of conservation on land or under water, or partner- ships or even climate change. But what about sustainable cities? Innovative infrastructure? Gender equality? Education? Can WAZA and its members stretch far enough to lead there too? I believe that we can. Sustainability is not a choice but a commitment, and it’s clear from the remarkable achievements of zoos and aquariums around the world that we are already well on our way. 1 President’s Letter The Dr Jenny Gray WAZA President Plastics We live on an improbably beautiful planet, Problem teeming with extraordinary life.

We must also be brave to tackle local issues, such as the power we consume and the plastic in our supply chain. Around the world, our WAZA members are engaging their communities in the wonder of animals and sharing the steps we need to take to reduce the risk of extinction in the future.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contacts: Jennifer Zacharias, JZPR (805) 886-9078 or [email protected] SANTA BARBARA ZOO’S GIRAFFE & AMUR LEOPARD PREPARE TO DEPART AS PART OF CRITICAL SPECIES SURVIVAL PLAN Zoo will also welcome new Amur leopard and baby giraffes this spring (March 6, 2020) Santa Barbara, CA - T he Santa Barbara Zoo will soon bid farewell to Amirah, their almost two-year-old female Masai giraffe, and Wyatt, their seven-year-old male Amur leopard, as part of their ongoing work to support two of the A ssociation of Zoos and Aquariums ’s (AZA) Species Survival Plans. The Species Survival Plan (SSP) was developed in 1981 by the AZA to help ensure the survival of selected species in zoos and aquariums, many of which are threatened or endangered in the wild. Amirah, born at the Santa Barbara Zoo on March 14, 2018 to Audrey and Michael, will depart on March 10, 2020 (just shy of her second birthday) for the Sacramento Zoo . Giraffes typically become independent of their mothers around two years old and become mature enough to breed at three or four years old. "Over the last few months as we’ve prepared for her departure, we’ve really noticed her personality come alive, and she has become more independent and brave, trying new things without her mom nearby,” shared Cassie Moews, Senior Keeper. While she is still too young to breed right now, Amirah will have a breeding recommendation in the future. Amirah’s father Michael is the most genetically valuable Masai giraffe in the AZA North America population.

A Letter from IPPL’s Chairwoman Dear IPPL Member, We at Headquarters are all devastated by the loss in October of our “special needs” gibbon, Beanie. You’ll find the story of his life in the centerfold of this issue. In 1990 Beanie had developed encephalitis when living at a primate facility in Florida. This terrible disease left him blind and suffering from epilepsy, so he was sent to IPPL for special care. Beanie didn’t let his handicaps defeat him. He was a spunky, personable gibbon, adored by our staff members. Beanie could sing gibbon songs. The only problem was that sometimes he would start singing at 3 a.m. because, being blind, he didn’t know the difference between night and day! He could perform spectacular gibbon acrobatics at whirlwind speed, sometimes spinning round a stationary bar fifteen times. Beanie loved food and had strong preferences. He loved sweet potatoes, but only if they were baked and had a sprinkling of sugar! Another favorite was raisin bread. But not just any raisin bread. He preferred Arnold’s raisin bread, which is loaded with raisins. If you offered him a substitute he would throw it away. We are all going to miss Beanie greatly, but the 31 resident gibbons keep us busy. Courtney is now two and a half years old and still very much an infant.
