GOVERNANCE The Columbus Zoological Park Association is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit corporation. It has a 125-member Association Board that meets quarterly. The 22-member Board of Directors meets monthly to oversee the operations of the Zoo. The tax levy receipts received by the Zoo are administered by a public Appointed Board that consists of 18 members; six members are designated by the City of Columbus, six by the Franklin County Commissioners and six by the Columbus Zoological Park Association. CONSERVATION In 2014, the Columbus Zoo’s Conservation Grants Program and Partners in Conservation awarded more than $2 million of privately raised funds to program support for 70 conservation projects in 30 countries. This money is raised from restricted donations, conservation fundraisers and coins donated by Zoo visitors. The Zoo participates in a number of conservation programs. One of these programs is the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership, through which the Zoo has cared for more than 20 manatees. The program offers an exciting second chance for manatees found struggling in the wild to grow strong under human care and be released back into Florida waters. The Zoo also participates in Species Survival Plans (SSP) for various species, one of which is for the western lowland gorilla. Through the SSP, the Zoo strives to maintain a sustainable population of these endangered great apes in North America. After famously raising the world’s first gorilla to be born in human care, Colo, the Zoo has become internationally recognized for caring for gorillas in social groups. The Zoo has also become a leader in the gorilla surrogacy program, successfully finding families for young gorillas that were abandoned by their birth mothers. EDUCATION AND OUTREACH The Columbus Zoo Education Department offers fun and engaging programs for all ages. In 2014, the Zoo’s education team offered more than 2,000 programs to more than 300,000 participants. Such programs include preschool classes, field trips, summer camps, overnight outings, scout and teen programs, adult and teacher workshops and more. Because accessibility plays an important role in the Zoo’s mission to inspire, the Zoo offers scholarships for many of the education programs. These scholarships are made possible through donations submitted directly to the Education Department. by people who donate directly to the Zoo’s Education Department, as well as the Mel Dodge Fund, which is dedicated specifically to children who are otherwise unable to attend the classes. STAFF The Zoo’s staff is comprised of about 260 full-time and 20 year-round part-time team members. The entire park (including Zoombezi Bay) employs about 2,070 seasonal team members. VOLUNTEERS Various volunteer groups work together to promote the Zoo’s education, recreation and conservation missions. Docents, who must be at least 21 years old and who are required to complete a nine-week training program, educate visitors and conduct scheduled tours of the Zoo. Adult volunteers, ages 18 years and older, assist in the Zoo’s animal contact areas, including the Kangaroo Walkabout, Touch Pool, Reptile Keeper Lab, My Barn at Habitat Hollow, and the lorikeet and Asia Quest aviaries. The teen volunteer program, ZooAides, focuses on customer service by assisting in the animal contact areas and with educational programs. ANIMAL POPULATION The animal care experts at the Zoo care for more than 11,000 animals representing nearly 600 species. Of these species, about 30 are endangered and about a dozen are threatened. RIDES, SHOWS AND OTHER ATTRACTIONS Some attractions require a small additional fee not included in Zoo admission. Zoo-It-All wristbands, which provide unlimited daily access to all but the camel rides, are available for purchase. Rides and shows are seasonal and available weather permitting. Pirate Island Making its debut in 2015, Pirate Island puts a new spin on the popular seasonal boat tour through the Australia and the Islands region. At Pirate Island, the animals are the treasures – and they are in danger of being exploited by a menacing band of “Purple Pillagers.” Fortunately, the green “Pirates of the Planet” have come to the rescue. The experience takes guests through an epic battle involving dozens of realistic animatronic pirates, expertly crafted by The ScareFactory, a Columbus company. Unlike the Dinosaur Island boat ride attraction, the Pirate Island characters are owned by the Zoo and will serve purposes beyond the boat ride attraction. Pirate Island is open from 9 a.m. until the Zoo closes, from mid-May to Labor Day and on weekends through October.

  • The Puerto Rican Parrot—A Story of an Amazing Rescue

    The Puerto Rican Parrot—A Story of an Amazing Rescue

    THE PUERTO RICAN PARROT- A STORY OF AN AMAZING RESCUE By Alan Mowbray1 HISTORY Five hundred and twelve years ago, on his second voyage to the New World, Christopher Columbus dropped anchor off the Caribbean island he named San Juan Bautista. He and his crew of Spanish explorers saw white sand beaches bordered by high mountains covered with lush forests. They were warmly greeted by the native Taino inhabitants who gave them gifts of gold nuggets they had plucked from the island’s rivers. Hundreds of noisy bright-green parrots with beautiful white-ringed eyes swooped overhead. The Taino called these birds “Higuaca.” At the beginning of the sixteenth century, Spanish colonists estimated that there were nearly a million of these beautiful birds living in the island’s forests. Today there are less than thirty Amazona vittata living in the wild on the island we now know as Puerto Rico. Although there are future plans to expand the wild population to other locations on the island, at the moment, the 28, 000 acre (19, 650 hectare) Caribbean National Forest, known locally as El Yunque, is the sole remaining forest habitat where the few surviving wild Puerto Rican parrots find trees with cavities suitable for nesting and seeds and fruits to forage. Amazona vittata’s near disappearance is not unique. Of the three parrot species that inhabited U.S. territory at the turn of the twentieth century, all but one, the Puerto Rican Parrot became extinct by the 1940’s. There are 332 known psittacine (parrot) species. Approximately 31 of them are of the Neotropical Amazona genus that inhabits central and South America and the Caribbean islands.

    The State of Social Enterprise in Central Ohio Sixth Annual Report August 24, 2020 A New Way For Business A New Way for Business 103 Social Mission-focused Small Enterprises Business Is Resilient and Responsive Social enterprises are special, mission-driven businesses committed to eliminating the social and economic divide that the COVID pandemic and Black Lives Matter have brought into sharper focus in 2020. For them, social impact is a non-negotiable part of their business that does not ebb when society’s attention wanes. In early 2020 we launched a series of short videos of stories to make their specialness real: www.socialventurescbus.com/ easytounderstand. In 2018 we celebrated that social enterprises had become the dominant job creator in Central Ohio for individuals disadvantaged by past incarceration, human trafficking, drug addiction, chronic homelessness, or developmental disabilities. Gearing Up In 2019 we celebrated eleven local social enterprises that made social enterprise #EasyToUnderstand. Together they provide 1,099 jobs, generate $59.7 million in earned revenue, pay $33.5 million in payroll, and over the prior three years have expanded employment by 49 percent. This year our COO Molly Tafrate and intern Wendy Phillips have put together a report that celebrates the resiliency and dispatch of social enterprises as the COVID-19 pandemic threw all plans out the window. For most, 2020 has become a year to adapt their business and mission to the sudden changes of a shelter-in-place economy, strive to Evolving hang on financially, and plan for a future that is yet to emerge. One of the miracles of social enterprise is the way it allows each of us to be impact-makers.
