But most of us also have a fairly signifcant dose of “biophilia.” Indianapolis Prize Honorary Chair E.O. Wilson popularized the term in his 1984 book of the same title, suggesting that there is an inherent deep bond between human beings and other living systems. I’m sure that inner drive led Marlin Perkins to invite us into his “Wild Kingdom” every week, caused Sir David Attenborough to be recognized worldwide as e’re largely a the “voice of nature,” and motivated Dian Fossey to sacrifce everything to protect gorillas in Rwanda. Individually, passion and purpose mapped their paths; together, social species, they became part of a conservation community that stretches across the continents. we Homo W The Indianapolis Zoo’s mission — empowering “people and communities, both locally sapiens. From our earliest and globally, to advance animal conservation” — certainly leads us to be a part of the origins, people have international community of wildlife conservationists. But our Hoosier common sense yearned for fellowship, plays a role, too: Our community combines its strengths to prosper and overcome challenges; it shares resources; it endures. been attracted to others Now your Indianapolis Zoo — rooted in the Hoosier values of holding on to what with a common bond, and is valuable while planning, investing, and working for the future — is expanding our combined forces to achieve defnition of community to suit the realities of the 21st Century.

shared goals. In 2015, the Zoo created connections with more than 1.2 million people who stood before the Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center, whose Nina Mason Pulliam Beacon of Hope signifes that there is still hope for wild orangutans and that hope shines out from Central Indiana. Many of those 1.2 million Zoo guests then went on to become a part of a new community, one which sent thousands of dollars to reforest parts of Borneo to strengthen wild orangutan habitats.

4 THE INDIANAPOLIS ZOO IS A GLOBAL COMMUNITY WITH THE ABILITY TO empower sustainable conservation efforts in our own backyard and across the globe.

But our community also grew beyond those who set foot on the Indianapolis Zoo campus. News of our conservation efforts spread worldwide through research and television documentaries. We combined strengths with others to help cheetahs, elephants, gorillas and other species far beyond our borders, while assisting in the stranded sea lion crisis in California and developing an innovative partnership with The Nature Conservancy to support a healthy Gulf of Mexico for wild dolphins.

19th century writer Henrik Ibsen once said, “A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.” Your Indianapolis Zoo is taking its turn at the wheel, and while we certainly face bumpy seas, we are heartened by the conservation community that surrounds us and the Central Indiana community that supports us.

Thank you for joining us on the voyage.

The generosity and passion of Zoo guests and members have led Report from Sumatra, to reforestation efforts in Kutai to secure safe and useful habitats for wild orangutans. This visit brought even more Indonesia: hope and excitement to that effort — a seedling planted just two years ago now stands more than 12 feet tall. Sumatran Orangutan In its second year, the Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center continued to receive worldwide Conservation attention. The New York Times, the BBC, Time, National Geographic and more reported on a ground-breaking sleep study conducted at the Zoo. Dr. Rob and Dr. David Samson worked together to study sleep effciency and positional behavior. Many long nights observing the Zoo’s orangutans Field Report Field led to these conclusions: orangutans have deeper and more Photos: Sumatran Orangutan Photo: Fred Cate effcient sleep time and higher next-day cognitive abilities Conservation Program than baboons, and that sleeping positions and postures had an effect on overall quality of sleep.

German television program Giraffe, Erdmännchen & Co. made the 4,000 mile trek to the Zoo to flm a documentary on the Center’s newest orangutan Sirih. She has quite a following in Europe and continues to be well-loved there. She grew up in Germany and lived at the Frankfurt Zoo. The multi-part documentary showed Sirih’s new life at the Center, including her relationships with the other orangutans and how she is thriving here. The keeper who raised her in Germany, Carsten Knott, came along to reunite with Sirih, which was heartwarming.

The crew was elated to fnd out that Sirih was pregnant by frst-time father 14-year-old Basan. Both are full Sumatran orangutans, a species listed as critically endangered by the IUCN, with only about 14,613 left in the wild. The support from the Indianapolis Zoo allowed for expansion of the research and conservation activities that the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Program, Bournemouth University and Liverpool John Moores University are conducting in the last large remaining lowland forest area where Sumatran orangutans occur. As a result of the funding, the last year saw a large amount of conservation research being conducted in the area that will further help to conserve the forest and the orangutans there. 7 THE NATURE CONSERVANCY Partnership

o matter our differences, the Nblue thread of water connects us all with the common element of life and a universal purpose.

In order to make a measurable difference to effectively execute our mission, it is essential that we partner with embedded conservationists and communities that have a track record of success. One extraordinary partnership met those guidelines. The Zoo joined forces with The Nature Conservancy to help create a cleaner Gulf of Mexico for the people and wild dolphins that call it home.

8 KEY LEARNING Kids with Dolphins

The Zoo didn’t have to go far to form a unique and remarkable partnership with our neighbors at a near-west side school. The Gulf has lost nearly 50 percent of its wetlands, Scholars at the Indianapolis Public School’s 60 percent of its seagrass beds and 85 percent of its Key Learning Community are now wildlife oyster reefs. This is due in large part to pollutant warriors.

This support came in the form of the Indianapolis Prize, the world’s leading award for animal conservation. It’s an unrestricted cash award.

Every two years, the Indianapolis Zoo invites the global conservation community to offer their thoughts on the heroes who are truly saving the world’s endangered wildlife. These remarkable men and women then start their journey toward consideration for the Indianapolis Prize. The vetting process is serious and complex. In August, the Zoo honored 28 of the most courageous conservationists as nominees for the 2016 Indianapolis Prize.

On Oct. 15, 2016, the Winner will receive $250,000 and the Lilly Medal, which showcases the relationship between people and nature. The iconic animals you see illustrated here are just a few of the awe-inspiring creatures these heroes are working hard to save so future generations will live in a vibrant world full of wondrous wildlife.

* More than 100 Indiana teachers pledged to build awareness for Africa’s elephant crisis with the 96 Elephants pledge in 2015. Guided by dedicated and creative teachers, students at multiple Indiana schools held fundraisers in an effort to engage, enlighten and empower others to help save elephants in the wild. Report from Tarangire, Tanzania: Dr. Charles Foley Elephant Project This has been one of our most successful years ever for land conservation in the Tarangire ecosystem. In collaboration with our partners, we were able to protect 420,000 acres of community lands across fve different villages. These areas will be used exclusively for livestock grazing and wildlife conservation, and agriculture, settlement and other non-compatible land uses will be Field Report Field prohibited. Conservation of these areas is critical to ensure that the wildlife migration corridors and dispersal areas remain accessible to the wildlife from the National Park.

Despite heavy elephant poaching in other parts of Africa, the Tarangire elephant population continues to thrive. 2015 was a record year for elephant births, with 88 newborns recorded in our study population, which is a testament to the heavy levels of protection afforded the Tarangire elephants. In order to ensure the continued safety of the Tarangire elephants, this year we set up a new rapid response motorbike unit based outside the park, which can respond rapidly to any incidences of poaching.

The Indianapolis Zoo has been a staunch supporter of our project for many years now, and through their generosity we have been able to carry out vital work to protect the Tarangire elephants and their habitat. Tarangire is renowned as one of the best parks in Africa to see large herds of relaxed elephants, and the Indianapolis Zoo can take some of the credit for that. 20

The Indianapolis Zoo’s Dr. Rob Shumaker visited both our feld sites in August 2015. During his visit, he also met with the head of the Kutai National Park Offce to discuss how the Indianapolis Zoo can contribute to conservation in the park. The Zoo has increased its support for our project, from $25,000 to $50,000 annually. We are greatly honored, and indeed overwhelmed, with this support. It is one of the main reasons that we are able to support work at two sites within Kutai NP, Bendili and the Prevab. As agreed with the Zoo and the Kutai NP Offce, we will be planting 200 trees. We are continuing to wait on planting until weather conditions are suitable. We have a small nursery of saplings for planting, so we should be able to go ahead once conditions are good. 23

Local partnerships ensure the next generation of conservationists is prepared and energized for its future. The Zoo is committed to helping create lifelong impact for students. Meet Alex, Elza and Olivia, students at Providence Cristo Rey High School, who experienced professional development through the Zoo’s corporate work study program. Through support of Zoo donors to help with tuition, these students received real-world experience by working in education, human resources and the veterinary hospital.

The Zoo also welcomed its fourth Clowes Fellow, Emma Marston, an IUPUI student pursuing her master’s degree. Emma expanded her knowledge and experience during this long-term internship in our education department, while focusing on exhibit development and evaluation.

The Indianapolis Zoo has one of the highest veterinarian to animal ratios of any Zoo in North America. The vet staff is made even stronger with the extraordinary support through the Harlan Family Internship Program. Obtaining the best and brightest in the feld, the Zoo’s veterinary intern, Dr. Rebekah Riedel, led signifcant research initiatives, improved species wellness and enhanced animal conservation efforts.
