2017 Annual Report HOUSTON ZOO Our Houston Zoo Is Vibrant, Growing, and Touching Hearts and Minds to Make a Difference for People and Animals Alike
2017 Annual Report HOUSTON ZOO Our Houston Zoo is vibrant, growing, and touching hearts and minds to make a difference for people and animals alike. In 2017, more than 2.4 million guests walked through our gates, many of them free of charge or at greatly reduced admission. Despite extreme weather events like Hurricane Harvey impacting our attendance results, the Houston Zoo remains the second- most visited zoo in the United States among those that charge admission. It’s clear that this urban oasis in the heart of our city remains top-of-mind for Houstonians and out-of-town visitors looking to share new memories while connecting with nature. Having a dedicated base of support from our community helped us achieve laudable success saving wildlife locally and around the world in 2017. We released more than 900,000 Houston toad eggs into the wild to ensure the survival of these native Texas amphibians. Our veterinary team provided medical care for more than 80 injured or stranded sea turtles. We saw tangible results from our long-term support of mountain gorillas in Africa and elephant populations in Borneo. And a strong culture of conservation is evident throughout our organization as team members from many different departments participated in conservation action opportunities. In 2017, we made significant facility upgrades around the Zoo for guests and animals. We opened Explore the Wild, a nature play area specially created to inspire children to engage with the natural world around them. An expansion of the McNair Asian Elephant Habitat added a new barn, swimming pool, and spacious exhibit yard for our bull elephants. -
