Dear Wildlife Ally,

Our second year as San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance was one of connections, celebrations, and remarkable achievements.

At its heart, conservation is about people. In 2022, we strengthened, deepened, and expanded our local and global partnerships. Finding new ways to engage with even more allies worldwide, we invited people to join us in working toward a world where all life thrives. And, we saw our efforts taking root, expanding on a legacy of impact across the globe—all made possible by our century of experience, and the support of allies like you.

We kicked off the year participating in the Rose Parade for the first time as an Alliance. Our float shared our story of conservation with tens of millions of allies worldwide—and the year’s excitement only grew from there. We opened and broke ground on new experiences, saw record-breaking attendance at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and made pivotal scientific breakthroughs. All year long, we celebrated the first 50 years of the Safari Park, while looking ahead to all we can accomplish in the next 50 years and beyond.

This year has reminded us of the hope and optimism that exists when we come together as allies to make an impact—and that it all begins right in our own backyards.

Thank you for helping make this one of the most successful years in our 107-year history. Please enjoy this look at all of our milestone moments for 2022, and the people who made them possible. Together, we have laid the foundation for this next great chapter of our Alliance. We are forever grateful for you.

Together for wildlife,

Paul A. Baribault Javade Chaudhri President and Chief Executive Officer Chair, Board of Trustees
