Each year one issue of Zoo View serves as a combined annual

report for the Los Angeles Zoo and the Greater Los Angeles

Zoo Association. On the surface, it’s an issue filled with names

and numbers. But behind every name and every number is a

story—a donor whose personal passion prompted a contribution,

a visitor whose life was changed by an up-close encounter with

an endangered animal, a keeper who ventured into the wild to

rescue or rehabilitate animals, or a year’s worth of animal care

or educational achievements boiled into a single statistic...

There aren’t enough pages in this

Annual Report to tell each and every

story. Instead, we offer shapshots of

the year’s significant activities, along

with our immeasurable gratitude to the

donors, sponsors, staff, volunteers,

visitors, and other supporters who

helped make it all possible.

We spent much of the last year looking

back. Celebrating the Zoo’s 50th anniversary gave us an

opportunity to reminisce about our history—and to acknowledge

a half-century’s worth of milestones in animal care, veterinary

science, conservation, education, and community outreach.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in this walk down memory

lane, either by attending one of our anniversary events or by

sharing your photos and stories with us online.

We also spent a lot of time looking forward. We engaged the

local community in the first steps toward formulating a new

Master Plan, which will guide the next phase of improvements

to the Zoo. We laid the groundwork for the Species Conservation

Action Network (SCAN), an unprecedented expansion of the

Zoo’s existing conservation activities. And we released a new

Strategic Plan to guide the Zoo’s priorities for the coming years.

We’ve organized this Annual Report around the four pillars of

change identified in the Strategic Plan: Campus, Conservation,

Community, and Organizational Culture.

The steps we have taken in the last fiscal year have charted our

course for the next several decades. The world has changed

greatly in the last 50 years, and zoos must continue to evolve in

order to respond to the challenges facing wildlife today. We do

so by forming connections with residents, community partners,

colleagues, and conservation professionals across the globe.

Please join us on this exciting journey.

G GLAZA Chair Richard Corgel, GLAZA President Connie Morgan, and Zoo Director John Lewis.

The Zoo hosted a series of public

workshops to invite feedback

on the new Master Plan.

The year’s notable births included snow leopard twins and the first mountain bongo born at the Zoo in more than 20 years. New residents came from as far away as Croatia (six mangrove pitvipers) and as near as Pasadena (American alli-gator Tina). Our biggest arrival was Asian elephant Shaunzi, transferred from the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. A golden-fronted leafbird was among the exotic species given refuge by the Zoo after being seized from wildlife smugglers.

As defined in the Zoo’s Strategic Plan, the Campus includes all physical aspects that make up the

Zoo (buildings, animal habitats, walkways, signage, fences, etc.). Last year saw important upgrades

to the Neil Papiano Play Park as well as the installation of pathway lighting throughout the Zoo. A

design was approved for Angela Collier Gardens, a new outdoor park and entertainment venue that

will develop previously under-utilized space behind the Children’s Discovery Center. The Master

Planning process continued with site analysis; community engagement; research into best practices

at other zoos, aquariums, and cultural facilities; and examination of the unique challenges—and

advantages—posed by our location in Los Angeles.

E At a public work-shop, Zoo Di rector John Lewis discuses the process of devel- oping a new Master Plan, a blueprint for future development of the Los Angeles Zoo. To learn more or to par t ic ipate in the process, visit l a zo o m a s t e r p l a n . com.

G Prop A funds also allowed us to “freshen up” the Neil Papiano Play Park with new resilient surfacing, colorful shade sails, and additional playground equipment that is universally accessible. With copious climbing apparatus, shock-absorbent surfaces, and lifelike animal figures, the Play Park inspires children to exercise their imaginations as well as their bodies.

E Funds from Proposition

A (Safe Neighborhood

Parks Proposition), a

county bond measure,

allowed us to install 40

new permanent lighting

fixtures in areas through-

out the Zoo to enhance

our nighttime events.

F The 1.72-acre Angela Collier Gardens will include two event spaces, one stage, a covered patio, and an amenities building that can serve as a meet- ing space, a staging area, or a bride’s room. It will accommodate up to 1,500 people for seated events.

The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens serves a unique role in our com-

munity, helping citizens develop an affinity for animals and the natural world

while offering a setting for relaxation and recreation. This year’s on-site events

included Elephant Awareness Weekend, Roaring Nights, and Brew at the L.A.

Zoo. The first annual Zoorific member picnic drew 3,787 attendees. Camps

and classes continued to sell out, with a total of 1,653 children attending Zoo

Camp and 247 scouts completing the Zoo Patch Program. Our educators

and volunteers spread the Zoo’s environmental message in the community

at events such as the March for Science, City of STEM Science Festival,

L.A. Nature Fest, and Griffith Park’s P-22 Day and Urban Wildlife Festival.

G L.A. Zoo Lights was brighter than ever with more nights and more lights. A total of 207,388 guests attended—up 24-percent from the prior year. More than 30,000 churros and 10,000 gallons of hot chocolate were consumed!

G The Zoo celebrated its golden anniversary on November 28, 2016, with an animal parade, live entertainment, half-price admission, and a huge birthday cake.

The saying “It takes a village to raise a child” can

be adapted to the zoo world. Behind every animal

in residence is a vast group of people who play

various roles in the daily life of the Zoo. In addition

to the frontline faces you may be familiar with—

such as animal keepers and veterinarians—there

are myriad professionals behind the scenes work-

ing to keep the Zoo “village” running smoothly.

To illustrate this point, we gathered representa-

tives of different divisions to show how each helps

prepare for, care for, promote, protect, or conserve

a single species at the Zoo—in this case, a group

of critically endangered Indian gharials.

The Zoo’s Indian gharials (one male, three fe-

males) arrived at Los Angeles International Airport

(LAX) on April 20, 2017. It was the last leg of a

journey that had originated in India and involved

a stopover at the Bronx Zoo. The gharials were

transported to the L.A. Zoo, where Animal Care

and Animal Health staff were waiting to examine

the animals and introduce them to their recently

renovated habitat.

G The L.A. Zoo is one of nine zoos in North America that take part in the Species Survival Plan (SSP) for the Indian gharial, one of the most critically endangered crocodilians.

information about gharials into their tours and other educational activities; associate director

Robin Savoian is part of GLAZA’s Development division, which raises funds for Zoo program-

ming and conservation (including a grant to support radio tracking and surveys of wild gharial

in India’s Chambal River); senior animal keeper Greg Robbins oversees the Zoo’s commissary,

which procures the fish that make up the gharials’ diet; Curator of Amphibians and Reptiles Ian

Recchio is the head of the Zoo’s herpetology department; keeper Byron Wusstig is the gharials’

primary caretaker; photographer Tad Motoyama captured images of the rare reptiles’ intro-

duction to their new exhibit; public relations manager April Spurlock handled publicity for

the new arrivals; accounting clerk Ripsime Nikogosyan processed payment for the animals’

transportation and other costs; videographer Dave Keliher filmed the arrival for a YouTube

video he produced; aquarist Thomas Taira maintains the water filtration and life-support

systems; senior painter Robert Morin painted and stained the exhibit; graphic designer Neal

Ward created the educational signage. Bottom row: social media manager Katherine Spada

helped generate online buzz; senior gardener Andrew Lyell and his crew planted the exhibit’s

greenery; plumber Randy Petitt worked on renovations to the exhibit’s water works; education

specialist Callie Cherry communicates the Zoo’s conservation messages to guests; officer Will

Ross represents the Security division, which keeps a vigilant eye on all the Zoo’s residents;

electrician John Goodwin and plumber Thomas Welch also worked on critical exhibit

renovations.

The group pictured here is just a sampling of the hard-working people who help keep the Zoo

“village” running smoothly. Behind—and in front of and beside—every one of the Zoo’s animal

habitats you’ll find a similarly diverse group of people applying their unique skills and talents to

the singular goal of saving species.

The Los Angeles Zoo reaches beyond its borders in its efforts to conserve endangered and vul-

nerable species. Field projects supported in 2016-17 included the Komodo Survival Program,

Biodiversity & Elephant Conservation Trust, and Paso Pacifico’s jaguar program in Nicaragua.

As more and more animals are imperiled in the wild, zoo breeding programs are increasingly

vital to their survival. The year’s notable births included six Peninsular pronghorn fawns and a

number of rare reptiles, including bushmasters, Aruba Island rattlesnakes, and Catalina Island

rattle-less rattlesnakes. The Zoo's accreditation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)

was renewed for five years. AZA President Dan Ashe called the Zoo “a proven leader in the care

and conservation of wildlife, and in inspiring people to take action to protect the natural world.”

G Recent guest lecturers at the Zoo included Mary Wykstra of Action for Cheetahs and Dr. Nigel Noriega of Sustainable Innovation Initiatives, who spoke about big cat con- servation in Kenya.

F Zoo staffers continu-ally seek to expand their knowledge of their field through workshops and other educational oppor- tunities. Keeper Andrea Delegal (right) attended the 2016 Marine Animal Trainers’ Association con-ference in San Diego.

G Six California condor chicks hatched at the Zoo last year, 32 wild condors were brought in for veterinary treatment, and two chicks were released to the wild. The L.A. Zoo’s condor staff conducted several condor management workshops and ventured into the field to per-form nest checks.

The Zoo’s first blue-throated macaw chick

hatched in August 2016. The species is critically

endangered.

G The Los Angeles Zoo was one of nine zoos awarded the 2016 International Conservation Award for their work with the Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Educa-tion (GRACE) Center in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) benefitting Grauer’s gorillas. The award recognizes exceptional efforts toward habitat preserva-tion, species restoration, and support of biodiversity.

G Animal Keeper Megan Fox was one of four U.S. primate experts invited to participate in a great ape workshop that took place in China in January 2017. The aim of the eight-day seminar was to share information and improve care and conservation of endangered apes around the world.

G For 10 years, friend of the Zoo Linda Duttenhaver has provided an annual opportunity for high school students to gain hands-on

scientific experience abroad. Each year, under the supervision of Zoo staff mentors, the team assists scientists with ongoing studies

that examine the ecology and conservation of various species. This year, they traveled to Trinidad to to assist in monitoring wild oce-

lot populations on the island. “Our Zoo is so much more than a place for animals,” Linda reflects. “It inspires us all, teaches future

generations about conservation and preservation of species, and brings us joy. I am so proud to sponsor the Duttenhaver Field Study

Program, where students and mentors have the opportunity to travel internationally and help with critical conservation work.”

G Longtime supporter Roz Schrank has been with the Zoo for more than 35 years. Her

contributions help numerous programs across the park, but she holds a special fondness

for the Animal Naming program. “When you name an animal, you create a special connec-

tion with it, and I enjoy that relationship,” she says. “And thinking up fun names for the Zoo

residents is a creative challenge.” This year, Roz named two impressive reptiles. The male

perentie is “Goannasburg,” a play on the Australian term “goanna,” which refers to certain

monitor lizards; and the male Indian gharial is “Vishnu,” a nod to one of the Hindu gods

commonly worshipped in the crocodiles’ homeland. “Giving an animal a name makes it

somehow more accessible to people; they seem more likely to relate to it, and that’s some-

thing I really like to see, especially with the reptiles.”

the BCM Foundation ZooPals Scholarship program for Boys & Girls Clubs, more than 1,000 chil-

dren from the greater Los Angeles community were able to visit the Zoo free of charge. “Our

members had a blast exploring the park,” writes Boys & Girls Clubs Coordinator Lulu Anguiano.

“They learned so much from this experience. Thank you!!” In the past four years, the BCM Foun-

dation has helped more than 4,000 children get an outdoor education at the Los Angeles Zoo.

critical funding to assist with the Zoo’s topmost priorities. “The Los Angeles Zoo is one of our

local treasures that provides a passport around the world to the diverse communities of Los

Angeles,” comments Millie Yamaki, Senior Vice President for the bank. Thanks in part to Bank

of America, families from across the Southland and beyond are able to take advantage of the

education resources the Zoo provides as a world-class institution.
