Dear Friends, Because of the many transformations you have helped bring to life, 2014 was an outstanding year at Woodland park Zoo. In late December, we completed our more Wonder more Wild campaign! During the last eight years, nearly 16,000 generous individuals in our community contributed more than $83.5 million. We thank them along with our intrepid board of directors, dedicated volunteers, and powerhouse staff who invested countless hours ensuring that we crossed the finish line! Now, we are carrying out next generation zoo experiences, exhibits, and innovative educational and conservation partnerships to better engage our 1.26 million visitors in the wonders of wildlife and inspire them to become agents of change. Other 2014 achievements include recordbreaking attendance and membership, thanks to advances in customer service, Online sales, digital communication strategies, and innovative marketing partnerships. Our high-quality, immersive zoo experiences, combined with opportunities to make a difference, connect people to their values and keep
them coming back for more. Many come back for the wonder and joy of watching baby animals grow and develop. Our animal care staff ’s specialized breeding expertise resulted in a year-long celebration of new animal ambassadors to the zoo family, as many images in this report attest. World events continue to illustrate the important role our animal ambassadors play in helping the public focus on the plight of endangered wildlife, some of which suffer relentless slaughter by poachers and terrorists, or lose viable habitat as human populations expand. We can change that. Never has it been more urgent to build a future in which animals and people co-exist and thrive together. The responsibility to lead a robust, relevant conservation zoo that embraces that future while honoring its past is rewarding and humbling. Most importantly, it is a privilege. With your help, we are charting the way. Thank you. Deborah Jenson President & CEO

Woodland Park zoo has long been a pioneer in the field of immersion exhibits and leader in animal care.
OUR B
ACHIEVEMENTS OF 2014 SHEDDING LIGHT ON THE ELEPHANT CRISIS The time to save wild elephants is now. In July, President Obama pledged $10 million to combat wildlife trafficking and develop a national strategy to stop illegal poaching of elephant ivory. Soon after, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sent the message: end the trade, save the elephants, by publicly crushing six tons of confiscated ivory. Meanwhile, a wildlife conservation partner our zoo supports, the Tarangire Elephant Project in Tanzania, expanded patrols that led to the arrest of 10 poachers! Woodland Park Zoo’s elephants are ambassadors for this crucial conservation story. In 2013, the Elephant Task Force’s Expert Review Panel concluded that Chai, Watoto and Bamboo are in good health and receive excellent care. Now, a more strategic alignment of our education and conservation programs with these broader efforts will engage visitors inspired by elephants in taking action steps through the global 96 Elephants campaign to help save this species before it’s too late.
OH, BABY! Many bundles of joy stole the hearts of 1.26 million guests who learned about the actions they can take to help threatened species in the wild. New jaguar triplets Kuwan, Arizona and Inka practiced stealthy predator moves, sneaking up and pouncing on mom Nayla, while four Krugeri lion cubs – our first in 21 years —and sloth bear twins, Randir and Kushali, celebrated their first birthdays! These and many other additions illustrate WPZ’s essential contributions to national and international conservation breeding programs, called Species Survival Plans, which help to sustain genetic diversity for zoo and wild populations. Other new zoo family members included a female Malayan tapir, a male ocelot, a male eagle owl, a pair of patas monkeys, two male Komodo dragons, a male North American porcupine, a wallaroo, Humboldt penguin chicks, red-crowned cranes, Chilean flamingos and many more.

IGGEST ANSWERING THE CALL OF THE WILD Zoo Action launched to engage our community in dialogues about local, regional, and state activities that affect wildlife conservation, science and environmental education. In August, our community showed strong support for the zoo and all area parks by passing the King County Parks Levy! From 2014-2019, $4.2 million a year will provide much needed funds for excellent animal care, exhibit maintenance, environmental and science education, and hands-on conservation programs that make WPZ a world-class zoo. Equally important, it will help more underserved communities enjoy the wonders of nature through WPZ’s Community Access and Schoolto-Zoo Programs. Thank you!
OTTERMANIA A state-of-the-art, Asian small-clawed otter exhibit opened in May, the first phase of the Bamboo Forest Reserve exhibit. The otters started a family quickly and the birth of four male pups marked a great success for the conservation breeding program. Thanks to animal care staff’s passion and expert knowledge, the growing family is a highlight for visitors learning an important story of conservation in Asian forest landscapes. Thanks to your support, we’re on track to open phase two, with new homes for endangered Malayan tigers and Sloth Bears and a hands-on,

NEW AT THE ZOO Welcoming, in May, our new tropical forests exhibits
Enter the tropical forests of Asia Be immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of a forest teeming with life —endangered turtles, colorful songbirds, squealing small-clawed otters, foraging sloth bears and tigers playing and soaking up the afternoon sun. People who experience such wonders of nature are inspired to save it. That’s the power of Woodland Park Zoo and the new Banyan Wilds exhibit complex. Three times the size of the outdated, 60-year-old exhibits that critically endangered tigers and sloth bears currently inhabit at the zoo, the new, multidimensional space designed by Studio Hanson/Roberts will be a state-of-theart, naturalistic home that provides for the unique needs of these animals and other species that together represent the biodiversity of tropical Asian forests. The exhibit brings to life those places where the boundaries between human settlement and untamed nature collide, making the need to share the forest urgent, hopeful and clear. The exemplary, new 2-acre exhibit will inspire delight and discovery in visitors, using our awardwinning exhibitry design to integrate inquiry-based activities and hands-on experience that make learning about science and conservation come alive.

The Asian Tropical Forest Initiative envisions the most innovative combination of animal care, learning and conservation action programs Woodland Park Zoo has ever created. A $15 million state-of-the-art, naturalistic tiger and sloth bear exhibit complex—the Banyan Wilds—is the centerpiece of the Asian Tropical Forest initiative. This two-acre complex will reside in the heart of the Tropical Asia biome at the zoo. When completed, the entire extreme makeover will double the size of the current tiger and sloth bear exhibits and, along with innovative immersion acoustics, other new animals, and biome improvements, will uphold the zoo’s national leadership in naturalistic exhibitry and animal care. • A new, modernized interpretive program tailored to foster curiosity and discovery for learners of all ages; • New education technologies and conservation action programs incorporating the latest in interactive and up-close experiences; • A new partnership with a global leader in big cat conservation to save endangered Malayan tigers in the wild Over the life of this extraordinary new complex, millions of visitors will learn how to share the forest and be inspired to take action to save the wild habitats and animals that are so integral to our web of life.

Quarters for Conservation Upon entering the Zoo guests receive a token. The token represents 25 cents of the admission fee (or a percentage of their membership). We use that 25 cents to strengthen our commitment to conservation projects in the Pacific Northwest and around the world. Half of that quarter goes to help fund all the field conservation projects we are involved in; the other half is applied to the project of their choosing! those votes, combined with the votes and coins from our 1 million plus visitors each year, helps the zoo save endangered animals and their habitats. Woodland Park Zoo is committed to wildlife conservation projects that also protect habitats and bring benefits to people. Your token tells us which projects you care about most--every time you visit. Together we are making a difference for wildlife and people!
