3 2 Dear Como Friends supporters,

Como Park Zoo and Conservatory has counted on a long list of champions over the last century, from Horace Cleveland, to Sparky the Sea Lion (numbers I through VI…), to the more than 1,380 individuals who volunteered at Como this year. Every voice committed to Como has helped strengthen this legacy, but one visionary who deserves special notice this year is our friend Leonard Wilkening, who died in January 2013 at the age of 87. Leonard assembled the board and staff that first incorporated Como Friends. As our founding board chair, he was hard-headed about ethics and sound fiscal policy, and soft-hearted about Como’s capacity to build community and widen horizons for people from every walk of life. A great promoter of public and private partnerships, Leonard believed that communities are stronger when public dollars are met by private supporters willing to put their voices and resources behind the organizations that matter most. Leonard was proud of Como Friends’ progress over the last decade, investing more than $35 million in projects like Tropical “ Wilkening Encounters and Polar Bear Odyssey while keeping Como free of was a fierce charge for the two million visitors who come to Como each year. champion At Como Friends, we were proud to see Leonard’s legacy in our first carried on this spring with the unveiling of two long-awaited decade. improvements that proved the power of the public/private ” partnership he envisioned for Como. In April, the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory invited visitors to The Ordway Gardens, a beautiful new wing dedicated to Como’s first-class Japanese botanical collection. In June, Como Zoo pulled the curtain on Gorilla Forest, a progressive new habitat for an expanded troop of western lowland gorillas. The first was funded by private contributions, the second by the citizens of the state of Minnesota, but neither improvement would have been possible without the commitment of generous corporations, foundations, and individuals like you. Your continued support makes a powerful case for Como every day. At Como Friends, we feel so fortunate to have had the support of a fierce champion like Leonard Wilkening in our first decade, and to enjoy the continued confidence of the volunteers, sponsors, members and donors listed in the following pages, who helped to keep Como growing strong in 2013. Thank you for all you do for Como!

7 6 Gorilla Como Zoo’s newest habitat expands the perspective for primates and Forest people

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS visitors to Como Zoo’s new Gorilla Forest noticed when it opened in June was the striking new view. Instead of visitors gazing down on the gorillas, Como’s seven western lowland gorillas now observe families and field trip groups from a grassy, elevated pitch. “It’s a small shift, but from the perspective of the gorillas it’s a huge improvement,” says senior zookeeper Jo Kelly, who says the discomfort of “being looked down on” is just one of the traits humans and great apes share. “The new design puts them more at ease, which is why visitors have had such a great glimpse of the gorillas’ natural behaviors since they moved in.” Giving Como Zoo’s gorillas the great care they deserve was a passion for Arlene Scheunemann, a long-time Como Friends board member and volunteer who died in 2013 just before the exhibit opened. A former Zoo Docent, Scheunemann helped lift Como Zoo’s profile as a leader in primate care by successfully hand-raising two gorilla infants and ten orangutans in her family’s St. Paul home in the days before Como had the facilities to care for zoo babies. “Arlene was a tremendous advocate for Como, and one of so many volunteers and supporters who helped make the case for improving primate care,” says Jackie Sticha, President of Como Friends. “Strong community support from people like her was critical to convincing lawmakers to invest in the $11 million expansion.” Gorilla Forest is the largest mesh-enclosed primate exhibit in North America, and includes a working waterfall, natural substrate, and a sky-light filled day room where gorillas can soak up vitamin D, even during the winter. The state-of-the-art facilities make it possible for Como Zoo, a long-time partner to the Gorilla Species Survival Plan program, to care for two gorilla groupings—a breeding troop of three females led by Schroeder, a 500-plus pound silverback, and a boisterous trio of related Como Zoo docents like Arlene bachelors, all of them 14 years old. Scheunemann were early advocates for the improved primate care now “It’s wonderful to have an exhibit that finally reflects the great possible in Gorilla Forest, an care that goes on behind-the-scenes at Como Zoo every day,” says $11 million expansion for Como’s Sticha. “Gorilla Forest has definitely improved the experience for troop of western lowland gorillas. primates on both sides of the exhibit.”

Back from the brink: Como Zoo keeper Bree Barney takes care of 30 adult Wyoming toads in a bio-secure room behind-the- scenes at Como—just one of the many conservation efforts your support helps make possible. Though the Wyoming toad was once believed to be extinct in the wild, this critically endangered amphibian may bounce back thanks to an aggressive species breeding project Como Zoo has been part of for the past three years. In July, Barney shipped the latest generation of toads bred at Como Zoo by FedEx to Wyoming, and traveled to repatriate them to their native habitat in the Laramie Basin. “Thanks to the support provided through Como Friends, I have been able to grow professionally through course work and hands on experiences I may have never gotten the opportunity to do otherwise,” says Barney. “We need to make sure these little guys have a wghting chance.”
