Dear Denver Zoo Supporters The role of zoos in the global conservation effort intensifies with each passing year as animals face growing pressure in their natural habitats, and experience an alarming increase in those classified as vulnerable, threatened and endangered. Zoos, particularly those accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA), are called upon to help save and protect species, both within their gates and beyond. Denver Zoo has answered that call. Since 1896, we have established ourselves as a leader in the protection of wildlife, dedicating staff and funding to more than 600 conservation projects in 62 countries on six continents.

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden’s Education Department offers a unique look at our zoo—the zoo at night. We offer three sequential overnight programs designed to build upon students’ understanding of the natural world. Within these programs, we strive to combine learning with curiosity, passion with dedication, and advocacy with perspective. By sharing our knowledge of, and excitement about, environmental education, we hope to create quality experiences that foster a sense of wonder, share knowledge, and advocate active involvement with wildlife and wild places. Overnight experiences offer a deeper and more profound look at what a zoo really is. The children involved have time to process what they experience, while encountering firsthand the wonderful relationships people can have with wild animals and wild places. The program offers three special adventures: Animal Adaptations, Wolf Woods, and Sleep with the Manatees, including several specialty programs. Activities range from a guided tour of zoo buildings and grounds (including a peek behind-the-scenes), to educational games, animal demonstrations, late night hikes, and presentations of bio-facts.

  • Naturalism, Animal Welfare, and the Evolution of Zoo Design By
    Enclosing Nature: Naturalism, Animal Welfare, and the Evolution of Zoo Design by Kristen E. Boyle A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved September 2017 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Ben A. Minteer, Chair Karin Ellison Stan Cunningham ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2017 ©2017 Kristen E. Boyle All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Zoos are a unique collection-based institution with deep roots in the social structure of modern society. From their beginnings as elite menageries to display power or wealth, they have evolved into public institutions committed to providing exemplary animal care, and recreational and educational opportunities for visitors. More recently, zoos have developed a series of significant conservation programs and partnerships around the globe, efforts that have proved vital to saving endangered species such as the Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx) and California condor (Gymnogyps californianus), among other species. Intrinsic to the development of modern zoo designs are the interwoven concerns of naturalism and animal welfare. Animal welfare, in particular, has become the paramount responsibility for professionally run zoological institutions as they seek to become centers of conservation and education without compromising animal wellbeing. Animal welfare and naturalism (understood as a design feature in zoo exhibits) are typically harmonious objectives, but these goals have occasionally clashed in implementation. While animal welfare and naturalism are defined in various (and not always consistent) ways in the literature, in-depth interviews of leading professionals and scholars in the zoo community and multi-dimensional case studies of exemplary, accredited institutions (including the Phoenix Zoo, the San Diego Zoo, Woodland Park Zoo and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum) provide unique insight into the shifting meaning of these terms and how welfare and naturalism have and continue to shape the development of modern zoo enclosures.

  • DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For
    LABORATORIES, LYCEUMS, LORDS: THE NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF HUMANISM IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel A. Vandersommers, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Randolph Roth, Advisor Professor John L. Brooke Professor Chris Otter Copyright by Daniel A. Vandersommers 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation tells the story of how a zoo changed the world. Certainly, Charles Darwin shocked scientists with his 1859 publication On the Origin of Species, by showing how all life emerged from a common ancestor through the process of natural selection. Darwin’s classic, though, cannot explain why by the end of the century many people thought critically about the relationship between humans and animals. To understand this phenomenon, historians need to look elsewhere. Between 1870 and 1910, as Darwinism was debated endlessly in intellectual circles, zoological parks appeared suddenly at the heart of every major American city and had (at least) tens of millions of visitors. Darwin’s theory of evolution inspired scientists and philosophers to theorize about humans and animals. Public zoos, though, allowed the multitudes to experience daily the similarities between the human world and the animal kingdom. Upon entering the zoo, Americans saw the world’s exotic species for the first time—their long necks, sharp teeth, bright colors, gargantuan sizes, ivory extremities, spots, scales, and stripes. Yet, more significantly, Americans listened to these animals too. They learned to take animals seriously as they interacted with them along zoo walkways.

  • Support the Big Cat Public Safety
    Support the Big Cat Public Safety Act H.R. 263/S. 1210 Sponsors: Representatives Mike Quigley (D-IL) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Susan Collins (R-ME), Tom Carper (D-DE), and Richard Burr (R-NC) WHAT THE BILL DOES The Big Cat Public Safety Act is a commonsense and urgently needed solution to the dangerous and cruel problems associated with private ownership of big cats and direct contact activities like cub petting. The wild animals used for petting and photo-taking encounters, and those imprisoned in basements or backyards as pets, not only suffer immensely, but also pose a serious risk to human safety. H.R. 263 amends the Captive Wildlife Safety Act to prohibit the private possession of lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, jaguars, cougars, or any hybrid of these species. This prohibition is narrowly focused on pet big cats and exempts zoos, sanctuaries, and universities. Current owners are grandfathered in and are simply required to register their animals to ensure that first responders and animal control officers are aware of the presence of such animals in their communities. H.R. 263 also restricts direct contact between the public and big cats. OVERVIEW OF THE PROBLEM • It is estimated that thousands of big cats are currently kept in captivity around the United States. Exact numbers are a mystery—nobody knows exactly how many dangerous big cats are being kept in private hands, or where they are. • A small number of unscrupulous facilities offer cub petting or photo opportunities, which fuels a vicious cycle of breeding and dumping cubs and is the primary cause of the growing population of captive big cats in the US.

    DENVER CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS: REOPENING SURVEY COMMUNITY-WIDE SURVEY TO ASSESS PERCEPTIONS, INTENTIONS, AND ATTITUDES ON SAFETY & VISITATION POST REOPENING 2020 As we continue to work our way through navigating the world during the COVID19 pandemic, arts and culture organizations face uncertainty. Despite the uncertainty, we continue to work together with our colleagues, donors, funders, staff, and elected officials to create plans that serve the needs of our communities. Information about the pandemic changes and evolves daily and we, as a Denver community, want to understand what is important to our guests as we work to re-open the doors to our institutions and organizations. While there are no concrete answers in a time like this, the Department of Community Research & Engagement Strategies at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science developed this pan-institutional study focused on our arts and culture community to create a shared, empirical picture around which our Denver cultural community could come together. We hope that these results support your continued re-opening efforts. It has been our honor to offer this small gesture of fellowship. Thank you for your willingness to be part of this study, we truly are all in this together.
