ZOO 2016 ANNUAL REPORT Dear friends and family,

You’ll notice the theme of our 2016 Annual Report is heart. We chose this theme for a remarkable and historic year because it’s an idea that encompasses so much of who we are, what we do, and what our community means to us. It’s also a fitting one-word symbol of the inspiring shared passion that drives the Zoo family to make our mark on the future in an era that represents a turning point for species around the world.

2016 was a year when we truly felt the love of the community. From record attendance of nearly 1 million, to the outstanding leadership of our Board of Directors and Leadership Council, to the tremendous helping hands of our Zoo Volunteers, to new journeys on our social networks, to a triumph for our Grand New View campaign, with 13 gifts of $1 million or more – these were the many faces of support for the Zoo. We greatly appreciate that support, and it inspires us daily.

I am very thankful for the Zoo’s strong and committed leadership team and for each of our staff, who give of their own hearts every day to make Zoo Atlanta such a special place.

We hope you’ll enjoy these highlights of a year to remember. There was much to celebrate in this 12-month period, but even more exciting is the bright future we have ahead of us. We’ve seen only the beginning of all that we’re able to do together, and we can only begin to imagine how far we’ll travel next.

Thanks for all you do for the Zoo!

Raymond B. King President and CEO
