Audubon Nature Institute 2017 Annual Report From the President

In this world of algorithms, metrics, “likes,” and “friends,” numbers take on new significance. For those of us interested in nature, the numbers give us pause. Endangered wildlife, disappearing natural places, oceans filled with plastic trash—numbers around these issues can be discouraging. But, at Audubon Nature Institute, we have numbers that shine a ray of hope.

Our 2017 Annual Report is, at its core, a report of our financials. One of Audubon’s From the President Page 1 primary objectives is to “operate a financially self-sufficient collection of and parks.” It’s a pledge we renew every day as we work with donors, members, guests, and Board other supporters who depend on our organization to wisely use the resources they give us. Commission Foundation Page 2 Because of this careful management, we have an impact on other numbers just as central to our mission­—the number of underserved children we welcome, the number Our Mission Page 3 of programs we participate in, the number of injured animals we treat and release back into local waters, the number of excellent students earning free Audubon 2017 Page 4 memberships for achieving good grades.

Social Conversations Page 25 Our 2017 Annual Report reflects these numbers, all made possible by you—our donors, members, guests, and community. Through involvement with Audubon, your efforts are Our Future Page 26 creating hope locally and around the world. From everyone here at Audubon Nature Institute, thank you for all you do and for being an essential part of our family. Financial Summary Page 27

4 Gorilla Numbers Game It’s the number of primary colors, and, according to the Pythagoreans, the first true number. For basketball fans, it’s points earned for a shot beyond the arc. But, for Audubon Zoo in 2017, the number three had deeper meaning as changes were launched in the group of primates under our care. Three gorillas made new homes at Audubon Zoo in 2017, increasing opportunities for conservation breeding that could boost numbers and diversify the genetics of these highly endangered animals. While Audubon Zoo welcomed gorillas Okpara, Alafia, and Tumani, international animal conservation scientists were planning more moves in 2018, each carefully calculated to maximize the potential for baby primates in Audubon’s future.

5 Groundbreaking Partnerships Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center welcomed the first group of animals from San Diego Zoo Global as part of an innovative partnership between the two animal conservation leaders to bolster populations of declining species. The collaboration—Alliance for Sustainable Wildlife—is a modern-day ark to preserve animals that are vulnerable in the wild and sustain populations in human care. The first arrivals included reticulated giraffe, sable, bongo, okapi, common eland, and yellow-backed duiker. Based on the conservation premise that a few hundred is a few hundred too few, the Alliance focuses on animals that live in large herds or flocks. These are species that by their very TM nature need space for large populations to be viable, sustainable breeding groups.

6 Rediscovering Nature in the East When a cherished community resources comes back to life after a long hiatus, that’s cause for celebration. Audubon Louisiana Nature Center in East reopened in 2017 after recovering from the devastating blow of Hurricane Katrina. Was it worth the wait? Check out the smiles on the faces above, just some of the first visitors who came to the Nature Center to experience a beautiful new interpretive center, winding boardwalks through forests and swamps, and tranquil nature trails that are home to an array of Louisiana wildlife.

7 Plastics Awareness—and Action The looming threat of single-use plastics to our environment became alarmingly evident in 2017, and Audubon Nature Institute joined with other conservation organizations to battle it. The City of New Orleans recognized Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in 2017 as we joined nineteen other aquariums across the country to initiate a shift away from these destructive plastics and build market demand for alternatives. The process began, for example, for Audubon gift shops to phase out single-use plastic bags and look toward offering water in aluminum cans. The commended the Aquarium for its leadership in educating the public about the harmful effects of plastic trash and alternatives that are better for our environment­—especially our oceans. 8 OUR ANIMALS

9 Animal Babies It’s a high-stakes numbers game for species around the world. Conservation organizations everywhere work to boost numbers of endangered and disappearing animals. It’s a tough fight, but at Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium, Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center, Audubon Zoo, and all our museums and parks, we’re committed to saving animals.

At Audubon Zoo, for example, we had good news to report in 2017 with 44 endangered or vulnerable animals born. The celebrated births included two black-and-white ruffed lemurs, a Colobus monkey, and the Barasingha deer (pictured left). At the Survival Center, a baby bongo arrived in December.

What facility had the most babies? Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium welcomed record-breaking new additions, both on-site and at the Audubon Rearing Facility (IRF) in New Orleans East. The IRF maintains a large quantity of numbering in the thousands for the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium and includes housing extra bugs along with those they breed and raise in the lab.

Which group of animals had the most births or hatchings? It’s not the mammals! Audubon Zoo’s reptile department had 74 reptile hatchings and births as well as 57 new Vulnerable, endangered, or critically amphibians in 2017. endangered species born at the Zoo in 2017. 44 10 Amazing Insects In 2017, Audubon entomologists bred tarantula hawks for the first time. These insects made their local debut at Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium, and are teaching visitors about the beauty of this very large wasp that preys on . Insect experts hope to repeat the tarantula hawk breeding success in 2018. While breeding numbers for many species may number in the double digits, for insects, breeding goals can reach into Ruby Arrives the thousands. The Aquarium welcomed Ruby to the Audubon family At Audubon’s in early 2017. This young endangered sea otter was Insect Rearing rescued and rehabilitated after being abandoned as Facility, entomologists a day-old pup off the California coast.

11 EDUCATION

12 Love to Learn Want to see the impact of Audubon Nature Institute’s education outreach? Just count the number of buses lining up in front of our attractions. School children spill out by the thousands, brimming with excitement that is energizing. That kind of learning goes on all year long at Audubon Nature Institute, even off the public pathways and outside of regular operating hours. For example, in 2017 the Zoo’s education team taught our guests about the wonders of wildlife, helping create a memorable experience that transcends generations. At the Aquarium, visitors drew inspiration from the impressive Great Maya Reef. Learning took a leap at the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium when visitors sampled dishes made with insects, and visitors explored our local Louisiana wildlife at the Nature Center. 13 Touching Hearts and Minds Entomologist for a Day More than one hundred animals under Audubon’s care The staff at the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium had have a special mission: to serve as Animal Ambassadors, some help when eight-year-old Cameron Foret was reaching out for a unique impact on guests. While many awarded a coveted spot as an Audubon Entomologist animals in Audubon’s population live in habitats carefully for a day. “Cam has loved insects since she was a designed to be like the wild, Animal Ambassadors are toddler,” her parents said. She was so inspired by trained to meet guests face-to-face. In 2017 these her visit to the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium she wonderful ambassadors for wildlife included Maui, a began collecting specimens of her own, researching military macaw; Chobe, an African serval; Aragogra the species, and keeping a field journal. She also saved her tarantula; and the unforgettable Mr. Miyagi, a Eurasian allowance to buy pet hissing cockroaches! Shadowing eagle-owl that trained for flight demonstrations in the Audubon staff, Cam worked in the butterfly garden, fed Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Through careful, patient, bugs, talked to guests about roaches, and still couldn’t and humane conditioning by Audubon animal experts, get enough. Her experience is a heartwarming example these ambassadors inspire future conservationists, of igniting a spark in the next generation and fostering a creating hope for our planet. love of learning.

14 Education Events Fun-filled events entertained and educated with irresistible offerings such as Hoppy Thanksgiving, Crawloween, and Chocolate Covered Insects Day at the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium. At the Zoo, there was ZOObilation and Earth Fest, while the Aquarium hosted World Wetlands Day and SEAlebration. The Nature Center proudly held its first Fall Festival for visitors who came to enjoy the great outdoors. Education programing again included the popular Zoo Camps, home school classes, Aqua School, and wildlife presentations. New programs included evening flashlight tours at the Nature Center.

15 Reef Rescuers The Aquarium took a deep dive into virtual reality with Reef Rescue, where visitors became Reef Rangers and helped restore the undersea home of two Great Barrier Reef resident fish named Sting and Bob. Along the way, guests took home an appreciation for the underwater worlds, learning how important they are to the entire planet.

Teaching Teachers Teacher workshops at Audubon in 2017 Beyond Books covered topics ranging from deep ocean In 2017 Audubon education programs inspired hands- exploration to new state science standards. Audubon on learning for students with 1,207 outreach and school even hosted a sleepover at Audubon Louisiana programs.

17 Raye’s Big Year 2017 was a big year for Raye, a Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle brought to Audubon’s Coastal Wildlife Network (CWN) after being found injured and dehydrated, tangled in fishing line. After an eight-month recovery at CWN, Raye was released back into his home waters near Lake Charles by CWN, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and the fisherman who initially rescued him.

It’s a Girl It didn’t take long for the conservation partnership between Audubon Nature Institute and San Diego Zoo Global to script a significant success story: the birth of a baby Eastern bongo, a critically endangered species of antelope battling for survival in the jungles and forests of Africa. Born in December at Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center, the young calf is in good health and is a welcomed member of the new herd.

18 Dining with the Sharks Seats at the adventurous Summer of Sustainability dining series sold out fast in 2017.

In 2018, this synergy will bring progress on the expansive new lions habitat, as philanthropists Joy and Boysie Bollinger help us “return the roar” to Audubon Zoo with the largest single gift the Zoo has received from a private donor. The Zoo’s Jaguar Jungle exhibit will get a new nocturnal habitat with fascinating “creatures of the night,” along with a unique play area.

We’ll also celebrate a new shark experience at the Aquarium, more beautiful bugs at the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium, and a trip to the stars at the Nature Center. Countless thousands will reconnect with nature strolling through Audubon Park or Woldenberg Riverfront Park. All this is possible thanks to the continuing efforts of our donors, members, employees, volunteers, and guests working together with Audubon. 26 Facilities Managed by Audubon Nature Institute
