Whether breeding and reintroducing endangered species; rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing sick and injured animals; maintaining far-reaching educational and outreach programs; or supporting and conducting in-situ and ex-situ research and field conservation projects, accredited zoos and aquariums play a vital role in maintaining our planet’s diverse wildlife and natural habitats while engaging the public to appreciate and participate in conservation. The 2012 Annual Report on Conservation Science (ARCS) focuses exclusively on those conservation projects that have a direct impact on animals in the wild. The report is based on survey data submitted by 179 of AZA’s 223 accredited zoos and aquariums and 15 certified- related facilities. Each of the more than 2,700 project submissions listed in this report were reviewed by at least one member of AZA’s Field Conservation Committee (FCC) to ensure that the project met the criteria of having a direct impact on animals in the wild.

The Sacramento Zoological Society 2013 Annual Report MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT board“Thank you for your loyalty presidentand continued support of our Sacramento Zoo. I promise that we, the Trustees, will continue to do our best to carry on the trust you have given us.” Greetings to all the members of our Zoo family! I have just completed my first year as President of the Board of Trustees. You may have noticed the name change from Board of Directors to Board of Trustees. I asked for this change because it places an important emphasis on who we are: trustees who are entrusted with the care and well-being of Board President James Naify the animal population, dedicated staff, and the beautiful grounds which make up the Sacramento Zoo. You’ve probably heard about the many successes of the Zoo in 2013, including record 2013 BOARD OF TRUSTEES attendance, the addition of many engaging zoo babies, and the progress of fundraising for the new Small Wonders of Africa habitat. In 2014, we look forward to the completion of this important project, as well as a number of additional changes to the Zoo – all the James Naify, President while keeping the small, family-friendly feeling that we all cherish.

  • Jillian the Sumatran Tiger Moving Back to S.F. Zoo: Doing What's Best for Jillian Jillian the Sumatran Tiger Has Moved Back To
    Jillian the Sumatran Tiger Moving Back to S.F. Zoo: Doing what’s best for Jillian Jillian the Sumatran tiger has moved back to the San Francisco Zoo. The Sacramento Zoo and the San Francisco Zoo worked together to move her back to familiar territory in San Francisco where she was born. Sometimes the comfort of familiarity is what is best. In the case of Jillian the Sumatran tiger, she has had difficulty adjusting to her new surroundings since moving to the Sacramento Zoo last year. 4-year-old Jillian was born at the San Francisco Zoo where she lived until last February when she moved to the Sacramento Zoo based on a recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums(AZA) Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Plan® (SSP). Just like people, animals including Jillian, go through a period of transition after a move. Some settle in very quickly and in rare instances, they may have a more challenging time adjusting to their new surroundings. Over the last year all of Jillian’s needs have been met. Her caretakers have worked diligently to feed her favorite treats, supply her with ample toys and enrichment, and help her settle in but she has not thrived as we would like to see. While Jillian has been well cared for, she has never quite settled in as we would expect and want. As it became clear that Jillian was having a more difficult time, one of the biggest indicators of her unease was her inconsistency with shifting from one area to another. Shifting is important because it helps keepers care for an animal.
