150Th Anniversary Edition a MAGAZINE for MEMBERS of LINCOLN PARK ZOO PERSPECTIVE SUMMER 2018 150th Anniversary Edition A MAGAZINE FOR MEMBERS OF LINCOLN PARK ZOO PERSPECTIVE Soaring to New Heights I’ve been surrounded by great zoo people all my life. My father was an ornithologist. We lived at the Bronx Zoo, where I grew up with keepers and animals. In 1976 I joined Lincoln Park Zoo as curator of birds (pictured, left) under the supervision of Dr. Lester Fisher, one of the best zoo people I have ever known. Now, as Lincoln Park Zoo cele- brates our 150th anniversary, I am proud and grateful to be part of a great zoo commu- nity. Our staff, volunteers, members, partners, and supporters keep this institution free and open 365 days a year so locals and global visitors alike can connect to nature in the heart of Chicago. Planning our anniversary has brought back many fond memories; it has also encour- aged us to reflect on our evolution and future. We’ve come a long way. Our zoo began in 1868, when commissioners of New York’s Central Park gave Lincoln Park a gift of two pairs of swans. As was the culture of the time, we spent our early years as a menagerie showcasing a multitude of exotic species. Around 1950, we began to shift from focusing on quantity of animals to quality of life. Dr. Fisher built new facilities that reflected the animals’ natural habitats. He instituted regular preventive veterinary medicine. He set a foundation for the zoo to grow as a place that serves animals as well as people, and strives to conserve species in the wild. Today, we are rooted in science. We are a leader in animal care, conservation, com- munity partnership, and education, but we still have much to do. We will continue to improve animal habitats and the on-grounds experience with The Pride of Chicago capital campaign. Outside the zoo, we work with colleagues in Puerto Rico to support critically endangered Puerto Rican parrots, whose habitat was affected by Hurricane Maria. We will continue to expand the Urban Wildlife Information Network. In November, we will host the 2nd International Wildlife Reintroduction Conference, which will bring together experts to discuss the best ways to restore wildlife to their native habitats. Here in Chicago, we will continue our work with partners in communi- ties across the city to co-create nature experiences in their own backyards. I hope you’ll join our anniversary celebration by exploring our exhibition, From Years of Chicago’s Free Zoo Swans to Science: 150 Years of Lincoln Park Zoo, in the coming months. As always, thank 150 you for your ongoing support. Here’s to another 150 years. • KEVIN J.

  • Primates Don't Make Good Pets! Says Lincoln Park
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EDITOR’S NOTE: Photos of an appropriate multi-male, multi-female group of chimpanzees at Lincoln Park Zoo can be found HERE. Pet trade images are not shared as Lincoln Park Zoo research shows when these images of chimpanzees in human settings are circulated, chimpanzees are not believed to be endangered. Primates Don’t Make Good Pets! Says Lincoln Park Zoo Series of manuscripts from the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes bring light to the detrimental effects of atypically-housed chimpanzees Chicago (December 13, 2017) – The Wolf of Wall Street movie. Weezer’s “Island in the Sun” music video. Michael Jackson’s “pet” Bubbles. While these may seem like unrelated pop culture references, they all have a similarly daunting theme: the use of chimpanzees in the pet or entertainment trade. These chimpanzees typically are raised by humans and rarely see others of their own species until they are fortunate enough to be moved to an accredited zoo or sanctuary. For years, Lincoln Park Zoo researchers have documented the long-term effects of this unusual human exposure on chimpanzees. Now, a third and final study in a series has been published in Royal Society Open Science Dec. 13 showcasing the high stress levels experienced by these chimpanzees who have been raised in human homes and trained to perform for amusement. Over the course of the three years, Fisher Center researchers evaluated more than 60 chimpanzees – all now living in accredited zoos and sanctuaries - and examined the degree to which they were exposed to humans and to their own species over their lifetime to determine the long-term effects of such exposure.

WILLIAM SUMMERS ONEOF THE MOST persistent and perplexing problems of recent years has been the governance of the large and complex social organizations which have developed to provide the goods and services demanded by an expanding society. Much attention has been focused on the design of organizational forms which might avoid some of the disad- vantages of the traditional military/industrial (hierarchical) models. An almost equal amount of attention has been devolted to examining the na- ture of individual behavior in complex organizations (the behaviorist approach). Underlying these investigations and explorations has been a series of myths which are themselves largely untested and unverified.
