DEAR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS, 2015 was a great year for the Seneca Park Society. It was a year marked by continued growth and financial sustainability, new collaborations with like-minded partners, and an intensive strategic and master planning process with Monroe County. We embraced new mission and vision statements that accurately reflect our daily work and aspirations: MISSION: VISION: inspires our community Seneca Park Zoo will be a national leader to connect, care for, and conserve wildlife in education and conservation action for and wild places. species survival.

IN SHORT-HAND, OUR MISSION IS THIS: CONNECT. CARE. CONSERVE. Recognizing that much of the public is unaware of the conservation science that occurs at , and the conservation research zoos support, the Zoo Society focused much of its efforts in 2015 toward better telling our story to our guests and to our community. On site, we installed new banners asking people to choose to save lemurs, Bornean orangutans, snow leopards, African elephants, North American river otters, and more. We also changed our interpretive programming to ensure that our guests regularly hear about the Zoo’s role in ensuring species survival, as well as what they, as individuals, can do to make a difference for the environment. We also worked to create awareness of the importance of regional conservation efforts, through projects such as One Cubic Foot, a biodiversity assessment of the which combines the art of photographer David Liittschwager with the science of DNA barcoding. One Cubic Foot brought together nearly 30 like-minded partners, including corporations, foundations, nonprofits, government agencies, and the , all committed to the health of the Genesee River. In 2015 we also successfully expanded our base of supporters; we launched a new elite level membership, Partners in Conservation, significantly grew our endowment, and increased our attendance, membership, and corporate support. Enrollment in our educational programs grew, as did the number of community members served by our outreach programs, and the number of people in the public who heard our stories through media coverage. As the nonprofit partners to Monroe County’s Seneca Park Zoo, we are proud to support the County’s new master plan, which envisions ten years of improvements to your Zoo, including new world-class animal habitats based on ecosystems, and new guest amenities to enhance your visit and grow attendance and investment in your Zoo. As we look to execute our mission in 2016, we are excited about continuing to expand our impact locally and globally. We thank you for your continued support.
