When members of the Zoological Society of St. Louis purchased the World’s Fair flight cage over a century ago, they foresaw an opportunity to dream for a better community. their plans were groundbreaking in St. Louis, yet their vast imaginations reached into the future. the Society laid the foundation for a zoological institution that continues to explore new territory today.
most significant is our bold plan for the future. Announced in June 2010, The Living Promise Campaign is a $120 million effort to help ensure that the Zoo’s vibrant spirit of excellence and notable achievements of distinction continue for another 100 years—and beyond.
it is only fitting that the Zoo makes promises for the future. With a promise comes trust and visionary leadership. We know the St. Louis community trusts us to carry out our important mission, and we place great trust in our supporters to help us continue to be America’s #1 Zoo*. We must also be visionary leaders, encouraging the community to believe in our mission and to imagine the vast opportunities offered by more dynamic exhibits, an enhanced visitor experience, upgraded modern facilities and a healthy endowment.
Just as members of the Zoological Society were great dreamers who established the extraordinary treasure we love today, we—the leadership, staff, volunteers and supporters of the Saint Louis Zoo—promise to invest in animals always for a bright future.
Yesterday a Dream, Today a Treasure …Tomorrow a Promise
the Smithsonian institution commissioned a walk-through flight cage, at a cost of more
than $17,000, for the World’s Fair of 1904 in St. Louis. once the Fair ended, St. Louisans
fought for the flight cage to remain in the city, and it would later become a cornerstone
for the Zoo. the city of St. Louis decided to purchase it for $3,500 rather than have it
dismantled and sent to Washington, D.c. today, the 1904 Flight cage has been renovated
and houses the edward K. Love conservation Foundation cypress Swamp.
the popularity of the flight cage during the World’s Fair inspired civic leaders to build a real
zoological garden in St. Louis. in november 1910, the Zoological Society of St. Louis was
established. the founders (above) formed the organization with the hope that a zoo would
make the city more appealing for visitors and residents alike.

each day, thousands of ambassadors of the animal kingdom transport visitors to a world where imaginations are sparked, minds broadened and hearts touched forever. every Saint Louis Zoo visitor delights in telling his or her own stories of wonder, fascination and discovery.
Who can forget the memorable antics of the loveable miss Jim, the first Asian elephant at the Zoo? remember phil the Gorilla, who captivated visitors’ fascination for 17 years? Like all the animals at the Saint Louis Zoo, miss Jim and phil offered a view into another world, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
today, penguins and pythons, sea lions and snakes, leopards and lions draw children of all ages to the Zoo. in December, fans celebrated raja’s 18th birthday, watching him open enormous presents and enjoy birthday treats. At the emerson children’s Zoo, interactive opportunities led families through various biomes such as desert, forest and aquatic areas. Stingrays at caribbean cove, presented by umB Bank, were back by popular demand, including new additions: horseshoe crabs.
For 100 years and counting, the Saint Louis Zoo has been a place for creating memories of magical experiences with family and friends. Schoolchildren anticipate annual spring field trips; families make a day of it during summer vacation; u.S. Bank Wild Lights set the sky aglow for holiday visitors; and St. Louis residents enjoy fall afternoons strolling through historic hill.
What is your Zoo story?
Memories Abound
When the Zoo was looking to purchase its first elephant in 1916, it turned to
St. Louis schoolchildren for help. more than 6,000 children took part in a penny
campaign that resulted in the purchase of miss Jim, a 35-year-old Asian elephant
that had once been a circus performer. Souvenir certificates were given to the thousands of children who contributed to the penny drive to buy miss Jim in 1916.
the Saint Louis Zoo earned global attention when it opened its Bear Bluffs in 1921.
the moated exhibit became only the second of its kind to be opened in the united
States and was considered a model for zoos around the world.

opening on may 15, 2010, Zootennial, presented by First Bank in peabody hall, is a roaring success! the exhibit, developed in partnership with the missouri history museum, is a hands-on historical tour celebrating the Zoo’s progress and commitment to its mission over the past 100 years. over 300,000 have attended the exhibit.
“We are thrilled to be able to let our Saint Louis Zoo fans join us in celebrating our first 100 years,” says Jeffrey p. Bonner, ph.D., Dana Brown president & ceo of the Saint Louis Zoo. in addition to First Bank and the missouri history museum, valuable partners such as KSDK newschannel 5, macy’s, moneta Group, maritz and novus international, inc. have provided tremendous support.
the exhibit highlights the Zoo’s transformation from a place that often featured animals in entertaining shows, to an internationally renowned zoo invested in extensive wildlife research, conservation and education. From pictures of the 1921 opening of the Bear Bluffs, to an interactive map of 11 Wildcare institute centers worldwide, the exhibit incorporates colorful and candid artifacts, memorabilia, pictures and video, transporting visitors back in time and encouraging them to reflect on the future. A statue of Siegfried the Walrus squirts water on visitors and a mount of phil the Gorilla delights everyone.
the Zootennial exhibit runs year-round and admission is free, allowing everyone the opportunity to revisit fond memories and discover fun facts, such as the increase in the Zoo population from 1,178 animals in 1926 to 18,301 today. Above all, the Zootennial exhibit recognizes the extraordinary efforts of the founding members of the Zoological Society of St. Louis, community supporters and dedicated staff, who have all helped make the Saint Louis Zoo the treasure it is today.
A Zootennial Celebration
the Lion Show represents just one of a handful of exciting shows the Zoo produced during this
time. newsreels featured the shows in movie theaters and full-page reviews were written in
local newspapers after the start of each season. Life magazine even described the Saint Louis
Zoo as “the most entertaining ever known in the u.S.”
Arriving in 1941, phil captured the hearts of Zoo visitors through his large size and,
most importantly, his playfulness. “unlike many gorillas...phil is playful, keeps busy
swinging on trees made of welded pipe, takes plunges in his pool. he also enjoys
throwing an old tire at his cage bars to scare onlookers silly,” Life magazine reported.

Attracting approximately 3 million visitors annually, the Saint Louis Zoo has embodied a bold spirit of community progress and pride since its very beginning. in 1910, the Zoological Society of St. Louis aspired to create a beautiful natural space for nearly 700,000 city residents, some of whom lived in crowded tenements with little green space to enjoy the outdoors. the first objective of the Society was “to establish and to co-operate with the city of St. Louis in maintaining a Zoological park for the instruction and recreation of the people.”
Accessibility was crucial to fulfilling the Society’s vital mission. Free admission ensured everyone had the opportunity to explore and
discover the wonders of the natural world. Among the top ten best zoos for kids in the united States today, the Saint Louis Zoo is the only one that offers free general admission*. With its doors wide open, the Zoo is a place for learning and leisure for visitors from every zip code in the St. Louis area and nearly every country around the world.
in 2010, visitors put on their thinking caps for the ZooQuest trivia challenge and a scavenger hunt, dancers of all ages cut a rug at Jungle Boogie with free live music, and bowlers struck out at Bowling for rhinos to promote rhinoceros conservation. At the African Arts Festival in may, visitors learned about different African animals, and october was the month to learn about otters at ottertoberfest.
offering a creative variety of community activities each year, the Saint Louis Zoo bolsters tourism and advances its mission of research, conservation and education while strengthening St. Louis’s national and international presence. it is truly an internationally renowned treasure in our own backyard.
Enriching the Community
Siegfried was the Zoo’s first walrus and quickly became a star attraction.
he gained a whopping 545 pounds in his first year at the Zoo, but became a real
favorite by hauling himself out of the water so visitors could tickle his chin.
the Zooline railroad has transported more than 32 million passengers since its
opening in 1963. the gas-powered engines take visitors through three tunnels and
stop at four stations during the 20-minute ride. early celebrity riders included such
personalities as captain Kangaroo (right).

Always at the forefront of exceptional animal care, Zoo staff have been busy working with animals to help sustain a thriving population for 100 years and beyond.
Among several notable research projects this year was mike macek’s trip to Saipan island in the South pacific. macek, curator of Birds, and his team brought back several pairs of golden white-eyes, a bird species that is facing extinction. By closely studying and promoting mating behavior, the team hopes to increase population and reintroduce the birds into the wild.
Founded in 2004, the Wildcare institute continues to study threats to bird life in the Galapagos islands, antelope in the Sahelo-Saharan area of Africa and lemurs in madagascar. With a richly diversified animal population, including some species that exist only in madagascar, this area is a high priority for conservation research.
closer to home, bees were buzzing, hellbenders slithering and gorillas feeling hearty. Zoo staff’s research on native bee diversity, abundance, ecology and behavior, which helped scientists understand threats to pollinators, is vital to the production of several crops in the united States. the Zoo received the Annual conservation Award from the missouri Department of conservation for its work with hellbenders. to advance cardiac care among gorillas, staff used animal behavior training to help gorillas participate in exams to treat common cardiac conditions.
the Zoo’s commitment to research, conservation and education will ensure that it continues to be a leader in the field of animal science and to provide visitors of all ages with diverse learning opportunities to enjoy wildlife.
Animals Always
earning the 1976 Best new exhibit award from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums,
Big cat country showcases a naturalistic environment with landscaping, pools, rock
formations and even a 27-foot-high waterfall. the breeding program is an integral part
of helping to preserve the endangered cat species at zoos worldwide and in the wild.
Jungle of the Apes was built in 1986 to house western lowland gorillas,
chimpanzees and Sumatran orangutans. the habitats provide a stimulating
environment that encourages natural behaviors while allowing visitors to
view these primates up close. it also has the distinction of being the first
zoo facility in the world to care for a group of bachelor gorillas.

Saint Louis Zoo leadership, staff, volunteers and generous supporters are committed to carrying forth the Zoo’s legacy of excellence. The Living Promise Campaign, announced on June 3, 2010 at a celebratory inaugural event, advances this bold commitment for the future.
“As we planned for our future, we made a number of promises: a promise to always care deeply for animals and the natural world; a promise to remain accessible to all visitors; and a promise to steward our resources carefully. these are the living promises, and they will guide us as we share our Zoo for future generations,” said Jeffrey p. Bonner, ph.D., Dana Brown president & ceo.
to fulfill these promises, the Zoo established significant goals to create dynamic exhibits, enhance visitor experience, modernize facilities and grow the Zoo’s endowment for a secure future.
By December 31, 2010, the Zoo raised just over $86 million, 72 percent toward its goal of $120 million.
“With all of us doing our part, i know we will keep our promises to future generations and succeed in honoring the Saint Louis Zoo,” said Joseph F. imbs iii, chair of The Living Promise Campaign.

The Living Promise A Campaign for the Future
established in 1989, the Living World was created to welcome visitors
to the Zoo with interactive exhibits, a restaurant, gift shop and
educational opportunities. it is also home to membership services
and sales, guest services and the education Department.
children and their families are able to interact with the most gentle Zoo
residents at the renovated emerson children’s Zoo. there are many
opportunities to learn about animals by observing, touching some animals
and playing both indoors and outdoors. Animals even show off their
natural behaviors during summertime shows.

Groundbreaking Successthe renowned art and architecture of the Saint Louis Zoo has earned praise and impressed visitors since its founding. thanks to the efforts of The Living Promise Campaign, the Zoo will continue to be a world-class campus.
the Zoo began construction on the Wells Fargo South Arrival experience with plans to add ten wildlife sculptures by the world’s most famous living wildlife artists, Kent ullberg and t.D. Kelsey. the sculptures are generous gifts from the casa Audlon charitable Lead trust, established by mahlon B. Wallace iii, and Audrey Wallace otto. this project will be generously supported by a $2.5 million gift from Wells Fargo Advisors and a federal appropriation.
With a $2.5 million gift from peabody energy, the Zoo renovated the 1917 elephant house. renamed peabody hall, this historic building hosted the Zootennial exhibit and will continue to serve as an excellent venue for guests to discover the many new and exciting programs offered at the Zoo.
partially opened in 1999, the Saint Louis Zoo’s first immersion exhibit,
river’s edge, obscures the boundaries between visitors and animals
through careful placement of barriers and lush landscaping. Following
a winding path, visitors get a chance to see a variety of habitats—
from hippos of the nile to the elephants of Asia.
Kept between 45 and 50 degrees year-round, penguin & puffin coast
is the coolest exhibit at the Zoo. originally inspired by wildlife films
where people walk alongside penguin colonies, visitors get an
up-close-and-personal look at the Zoo’s penguins and puffins—
sometimes even getting splashed by the diving animals.

“ this community has great reverence for the Zoo. We have a history of people in the community lobbying to have the greatest Zoo, and this aids us in our philanthropy,” said Jeffrey L. huntington, Director of Development.

A community of SupportA vibrant philanthropic spirit defines those who contribute their time, talent and treasure to America’s #1 Zoo.
A $5 million contribution from the taylor Family (mary Ann Lee, crawford taylor Foundation, Andrew and Barbara taylor, Jo Ann taylor Kindle, and Jack c. taylor) will assist in the redesign of the Sea Lion Basin and Sea Lion Show to form Sea Lion Sound. this area will include Sea Lion Landing (a naturalistic outdoor habitat), the Lichtenstein Sea Lion Arena, and the Sea Lion care center.
While sea lions are swimming, malayan sun bears will be busy climbing in their new habitat, Sun Bear Forest.
Securing the Zoo’s future through a growing endowment is a crucial step in keeping The Living Promise alive. A $3 million bequest gift from the family of Steve Schankman will help build a strong financial foundation for years to come.
Advancing the Zoo’s mission of excellent education and conservation programs will be possible through generous corporate contributions, such as edward Jones pledge of $1 million. A $2 million gift will establish the monsanto education Gallery, located in the lower level of the Living World. in addition to corporate and individual family contributors, the significant contribution of dedicated members continues to provide necessary resources. in 2010, the marlin perkins Society and the heritage Society increased membership to an all-time historic high.
A generous gift from thelma Zalk, the 100-ton Animals Always
sculpture was completed in 2006 by artist Albert paley. At 130
feet long and 36 feet high, it’s the world’s largest public zoo
structure, showcasing more than 60 animals, including many
endangered species. the sculpture is displayed in the Steven F.
Schankman plaza.
one of the earliest buildings at the Zoo, the 1917 elephant house,
was renovated and transformed into an inviting exhibit space.
With the renovation of this building, now peabody hall, every historic
building has been restored to preserve the Zoo’s architectural treasures.

A ride on the Zooline railroad has been a part of visitors’ treasured memories for generations. A $5 million gift from emerson will help with upkeep and maintenance of this popular Zoo attraction. For generations to come, visitors will continue to delight in a leisurely 1½-mile roundtrip tour on the emerson Zooline railroad.
While visitors enjoy a train ride or stroll through the 90-acre campus, the Zoo is buzzing behind the scenes. major renovations began on the myron Glassberg Family maintenance center, thanks to a special gift from Sunny Glassberg. crucial upgrades to this facility, built in the 1950s, offer tremendous benefits for conserving energy and accommodating the needs of a 21st-century zoo.
Sustainability and safety are central to the Saint Louis Zoo’s promise of careful resource stewardship. to that end, the Zoo was busy replacing outdated systems, installing energy-efficient materials and revamping safety procedures for a bright future.
“We aspire to provide state-of-the-art exhibits and techniques to provide the very best experience for our animals, guests and employees,” said David mcGuire, Vice president of Architecture and planning.

Financial Analysis�0�0 Revenuescompared to 2009, tax support from the Zoo museum District, under the accrual basis method, remained almost unchanged, decreasing by $190,502. in 2010, investments posted gains of $6.5 million and accounted for 9.3 percent of our total income, but they could not match the remarkable performance of $10.5 million posted in 2009. contributions increased 15.4 percent over 2009. these contributions were attributed to the successful efforts of the Saint Louis Zoo Association, which helped raise over $14 million toward The Living Promise Campaign. Approximately $1.7 million of these contributions were endowment trust gifts. Generating $3.1 million in gross revenues, our dedicated members have also contributed to increased funds with a 1.5 percent increase in membership revenue over 2009. the marlin perkins Society continued its success by recording over $1.5 million in gross annual support, an 8.6 percent increase when compared to 2009. Versus 2009, visitor spending increased as a percentage of total revenue from 27 to 29 percent. the per capita spending by visitors increased by 1.2 percent compared to 2009. the average spending by each guest during the year was $7.02, generating nearly $20.5 million.
�0�0 Expensestotal expenses increased by $945,613, nearly 2 percent over 2009, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits, supplies, repairs and maintenance, and depreciation. the salaries and fringes increased 4 percent over 2009 ($993,620) due to a 3.5 percent salary pool, which also results in increases in group insurance and pension contributions. exhibit expenses to build the Zootennial exhibit in peabody hall required an increase in supplies of 7.7 percent compared to 2009 ($189,262), and aging infrastructure led to an increase in repairs and maintenance of 15.6 percent ($150,364). Depreciation increased 4.3 percent over 2009 ($329,887) due to the construction of projects related to The Living Promise Campaign and other capital spending. included in this group were the renovations to peabody hall and Lakeside cafe and the introduction of the ullberg sculpture to the South entrance. these increases were offset by a reduction in utilities of 9.9 percent compared to 2009 ($-297,524) and a reduction in merchandise of 6.9 percent ($-255,298). the Zoo’s overall conservation efforts were evident in reduced utilities spending. this included reduced water usage due to the closure of the Sea Lion Basin. Also the Zoo experienced relatively mild weather compared to 2009, and a prior year sewer and water adjustment was reversed. the merchandise expense, which is the cost of goods sold for food and gift shop, is directly related to the revenue for those areas, which declined 3.2 percent in 2010.

Net Assetsthe Zoo remains financially strong, as shown by the steady annual operating revenues and the steady increase in contributions. the investment portfolio continues to increase, reinforcing a secure financial base on which to cultivate the future of America’s #1 Zoo.
Investment Performancethe Zoo prides itself on being an exemplary steward of its investments, one of the promises at the heart of The Living Promise Campaign. the Saint Louis Zoo’s net investment portfolio increased 15.3 percent over 2009. included in this were a 20.2 percent increase in the endowment portfolio and a 10.8 percent increase in the more conservatively managed Association portfolio. Both were a result of the campaign.
the preceding bar graph (on page 75) illustrates the changes in the Zoo’s investment portfolio since 2004, the year the Zoo created its formal endowment. the Saint Louis Zoo endowment trust has grown dramatically each year since 2004, with the exception of an 18 percent decline in 2008. currently, all estate gifts, unless otherwise designated by the donor, are immediately placed into the endowment.
Conclusionsthe Zoo has enjoyed steady growth in operating revenue through 2010, ending the year with a 1 percent increase over 2009. the operating cash flow remained positive and the stock market performance was favorable, combining to create an increase in the Zoo’s net assets. the Zoo has also been successful during the past several years in controlling the growth of expenses.
this careful stewardship of our financial resources, bolstered by the tremendous efforts of dedicated leadership, staff, volunteers and supporters, will help us to fulfill our mission: to continue to provide the best animal care while creating opportunities for the support and enrichment of the public experience.
The Zoo’s audited financial statements are available to any interested parties through the Office of the President & CEO of the Zoo.
* SUBSEQUENT EVENT: As of October 31, 2011, the Living promise campaign has generated $96.2 million toward the $120 million goal.
