  • Young Lioness Joining New Pride -- BALTIMORE, MD
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jane Ballentine 6 November 2015 O: 443/552-5275 C: 301/332-1742 NEW CHAPTER FOR LEIA THE LIONESS -- Young lioness joining new pride -- BALTIMORE, MD – Later this month The Maryland Zoo will say goodbye to young lioness Leia, who along with her sibling Luke, was born here in October 2013. Leia will be joining a new pride of lions at the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas. “It’s a bittersweet moment for us at the Zoo,” said Don Hutchinson, president/CEO of the Zoo. “Watching Luke and Leia grow and thrive under the care of our animal care staff has been enormously rewarding. Together with their adopted sibling Zuri and father Hassan, they have created such a dynamic pride and have engaged thousands of visitors from their first forays into the yard. We knew the moment might come when she would move to become part of another pride, and we are sorry to see her leave.” The move comes at a time when Leia is beginning to mature and needs to be placed in an unrelated pride of lions. The pride at the Cameron Park Zoo consists of an older female lion, 17-year-old Shamfa and three-year-old male Kaikane (ky-kaw-nay). “This move was recommended by the Association of Zoos and aquariums (AZA) African Lion Species Survival Plan (SSP),” stated Carey Ricciardone, mammal collection and conservation manager. “Our colleagues have a lot of experience with lions and we know that she will be well cared for there. We hope that visitors to the Cameron Park Zoo come to know her well, as she is usually very interested in what people are doing when they visit her here.” Leia will travel to Waco by truck in a specialized travel crate with a team of senior staff members from the Cameron Park Zoo.

  • Chapter 1 Description of the Region
    Chapter 1 Description of the Region The East Texas Regional Water Planning Area (ETRWPA) is one of sixteen areas established by the 1997 Texas legislature Senate Bill 1 for the purpose of State water resource planning at a regional level on five- year planning cycles. The first regional water plan was adopted in 2001. Since that time, it was updated in 2006, 2011, and 2016. This plan, the 2021 Regional Water Plan (2021 Plan), is the result of the 5th cycle of regional water planning. Pursuant to the formation of the ETRWPA, the East Texas Regional Water Planning Group (ETRWPG or RWPG), was formed and charged with the responsibility to evaluate the region’s population projections, water demand projections, and existing water supplies for a 50-year planning horizon. The RWPG then identifies water shortages under drought of record conditions and recommends water management strategies. This planning is performed in accordance with regional and state water planning requirements of the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB). This chapter provides details for the ETRWPA that are relevant to water resource planning, including: a physical description of the region, climatological details, population projections, economic activities, sources of water and water demand, and regional resources. A discussion of threats to the region’s resources and water supply, a general discussion of water conservation and drought preparation in the region, and a listing of ongoing state and federal programs in the ETRWPA that impact water planning efforts in the region are also provided. 1.1 General Introduction The ETRWPA consists of all or portions of 20 counties located in the Neches, Sabine, and Trinity River Basins, and the Neches- Trinity Coastal Basin.
