2008 Annual Report
Mission
Statement
The Indianapolis Zoo will empower
people and communities, both
locally and globally, to advance
animal conservation.
making the connections finding the links establishing the relationships
There’s no question that zoos and aquariums
Shared Interests
are among the most popular attractions in the United States.
Poll after poll and survey after survey indicate that overwhelming
majorities of Americans look to the nation’s zoo communities as
places for family visitation and that the public both appreciates
and enjoys what zoos offer. The general public’s fascination with
animals of all kinds is demonstrated by the continued support
given to the nation’s zoos and the zoo visitors’ views that they
have gained important information from their encounter that
makes them more likely to help in animal conservation.
What is also evident is that zoos have changed tremendously throughout
the last decades, evolving into places where exotic animals are not
simply displayed for the public’s pleasure but are exhibited, housed,
interpreted, and managed in a way that promotes the conservation
of threatened and endangered species. Certainly that is the mission
of the Indianapolis Zoo, where we have affirmed our commitment to
conservation, as well as taken the next logical step in making us one
of the most remarkable zoos in the world.
Not only are our exhibits, programs, and interpretative elements,
such as signage, becoming more global in approach, we are increasingly
producing exhibits that serve as “gateways,” connecting the local
community to animals in the wild and the researchers and caregivers
working in those animals’ home ranges to keep them safe.
2
One good example is Oceans presented by Old National Bank, which
combines a variety of experiential learning opportunities that impress
upon visitors a holistic view of oceans, marine mammals, fishes, habitats,
and the forces that affect them–most notably climate change. Within
Oceans, visitors go from a true “touch and feel” experience, such as
petting a shark, to a “virtual” activity, such as taking a computer survey
on what they learned about marine life. We even provide visitors with a
wallet-size card from Seafood Watch that details which food fishes are
okay or not okay to consume based on the fishes’ level of sustainability.
Another example is the Cheetah exhibit in partnership with The Tony
Stewart Foundation and made possible through the generosity of Polly Hix
and Tony Fair. It is scheduled to open in 2010 and will offer visitors close
encounters with the most endangered of the big cat species. Visitors will then
have the opportunity to translate their interest (and perhaps passion, if we’re
lucky) generated by the exhibit into direct action by supporting the Cheetah
Conservation Fund in Africa in its efforts to save cheetahs in the wild.
In 2008, we, in partnership with Lowe’s, were able to make the connection
between one of the most charismatic animals on the Earth–the magnificent
polar bear–and the general public through a unique initiative called
MyCarbonPledge.com. Utilizing this web site, which detailed the threats to
polar bears from disappearing and shrinking sea ice due to climate change,
we gave web visitors the chance to make a difference by pledging to replace
incandescent light bulbs with the more energy-efficient CFL bulbs.
A more direct animal connection came in late 2008, when we had the
privilege of honoring a real icon of animal conservation, Dr. George
Schaller, with the biennial Indianapolis Prize. Schaller, whose leadership in
groundbreaking field biology and research has inspired and informed more
than one generation of eager students, was guided by Zoo staff in making
that local/global connection in a variety of ways.
It’s all about finding the links, establishing the relationships, and forming the
alliances that will accomplish the strategic goals of preserving the natural
world, not only for ourselves but for our children and their children. That’s
what 2008 was about, what this year will be about, and what will be the
focus of the years ahead.
Your support makes that possible. Thank you.

con·ser·vā'·tion
An endangered species is a population of an
organism that is at risk of becoming extinct because it is few
in numbers and/or is threatened by changing environment.
Human influence over the Earth’s ecosystems has been so
extensive throughout the last 10,000 years that scientists have
difficulty estimating the total number of animal species that
became extinct during this era. The rates of deforestation,
reef destruction, wetlands filling, and other human acts are
proceeding much faster than the human assessment of the
Earth’s species. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) has
calculated the percentage of endangered species as 40 percent
of all organisms based on the sample of species that have been
evaluated through 2006. Only a few of the many species at risk
of extinction actually make the list. Many more species become
extinct, or potentially will become extinct, without the public
ever knowing.
4
Overpopulation of humans on Earth has been the main threat.
With overpopulation comes mass agriculture, deforestation,
overgrazing, slash-and-burn urban development, pesticide use, and
global warming. Basically, as the human impact on the environment
increases, the diversity of life decreases. Humans are constantly using
the resources and space of other species for themselves, negatively
impacting the survival rate of many creatures.
Wildlife conservation is the process of individuals and organizations
protecting and preserving these threatened and endangered species
through conservation education, preservation of habitat, and
management of fish and wildlife. There are many wildlife conservation
societies and organizations that work tirelessly to save wild lands
and wildlife through international conservation and education.
These groups strive to change attitudes toward nature and protect
natural areas and wild populations of plants and animals, including
endangered species.
One of the most recognizable categories of conservation groups is
accredited zoos, aquariums and sanctuaries. Utilizing a combination
of techniques, zoos have joined the fight to conserve wild things
and wild places. These include research on grounds and in the wild;
management and breeding of threatened and endangered species;
educational programming; green management of resources, including
recycling; promotion of local, regional, national, and international
wildlife conservation efforts; and more.
This report details how the Indianapolis Zoo, a leader in
conservation, brings these concepts to life.

Conserving the Natural World
One of the world’s foremost authorities
on the African elephant, Iain Douglas-Hamilton, was one of
the finalists for the 2008 Indianapolis Prize and is the founder
of Save the Elephants, an organization devoted to preserving
these most fascinating members of the animal kingdom. If you
visit the Save the Elephants web site, you’ll find a tremendous
amount of information on elephants, including this recounting
of a recent encounter between a wildlife cameraman and a
herd of wild elephants in Botswana. Kenya-born Mike Holding
is an accomplished director and cinematographer of wildlife
documentary films and docudramas for international television
and has won numerous international awards over the years in
recognition of his diverse talents. He was working on a BBC
documentary on elephants when he discovered that they were
apparently using their trunks to siphon off clean water from
the tops of dirty pools.
6
Holding said:“Thirsty elephants usually rush head-long into water and
splash with abandon, but this group did something I had never seen before.
They approached the pool quietly and stepped in very slowly, making as
little disturbance as possible. And then, remarkably, one after another,
the elephants began to carefully sweep their trunk tips across the surface,
delicately siphoning the few centimeters of clear liquid from the mud below.”
The filmmaker says he has never seen the elephants use their trunks in this
way before. He said:“I have spent countless days in the company of elephants,
and I believe this was a timely reminder that however much we think we
know about elephants, they always surprise us with some new and intelligent
piece of behavior.”
The lesson is even if you spend a lifetime exploring the natural world,
you’ll never know everything about it. That’s why we do what we do
here, as well as why we support the efforts of conservationists around
the world, making possible the connections between researchers in
the field and their benefactors here at home.

Conservation Impacts
When we consider what research projects
to pursue, we ask ourselves whether they are compatible with
institutional interests and values and managed in a manner that
enhances their probability of success. Such work is a direct
investment in the future, and has the potential to directly impact
the long-term survival–or extinction–of numerous species.
The Indianapolis Zoo pursues two different types of scientific inquiry
to these ends–conservation and research. Through our conservation
programs, we aim to impact directly the wild places in which animals
live. These efforts fall under the purview of our Polly H. Hix Institute
for Conservation and Research staff. Research occurs in every
interaction we have with the animals in our care. Some of the work
is simple observation, while other projects are cutting edge in their
respective fields.
Here’s a sample of what we’re doing here at the Zoo to ensure the
continued conservation of wildlife across the globe–within or outside
of human care.
Tarangire Elephant Project (Tanzania)
8
In the sprawling landscape of East Africa, a husband and wife team
lead the effort to save the lives of the largest animal on land –and
one of the most complex animals on Earth–the African elephant.
Charles Foley founded the Tarangire Elephant Project, and the
Indianapolis Zoo is its largest contributor. Those funds have been
used to help protect the fastest-growing population of African
elephants on the continent by keeping their migration routes open
and free of poachers. The Project is working with local communities
and tour operators to protect the main dispersal area of the northern
subpopulation of elephants. Under an agreement with the local
villagers, the area is used for livestock grazing and tourism, thus
protecting both wildlife habitat and traditional grazing areas while
supplying revenue to the village and its Maasai residents. The
agreement provides a model for protecting wildlife areas outside
a national park, and through the support of the Zoo, people in
Central Indiana are able to impact the people of Central Africa in
a positive way.
Caring for Elephants
The Indianapolis Zoo also supports The National Elephant Center,
the result of a unique collaboration among zoos accredited
by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA); individuals
and organizations that care deeply about elephants; and Waste
Management, a corporation committed to the environment and
species conservation.
9
education programs for young students in the Dominican Republic,
transect-assisted population monitoring, collection and interpretation of
biological samples from wild iguanas, and plans for satellite-assisted habitat
monitoring. “Project Iguana” represents the best elements of how and why
the Zoo makes connections, in this case, between similar organizations
involved in iguana research; the local zoo; local non-governmental
organizations; and, most especially, the young people of the Dominican
Republic who someday will carry on the conservation mission.
Even though elephants are the largest living land animals, their future
is in serious jeopardy in Asia and Africa due, in most part, to elephant/
human conflict and poaching. People who care about elephants and
those working in accredited zoos that care for elephants can best
address this crisis.
Accredited zoos have long supported elephant conservation and
research and have now established The National Elephant Center.
The Center is poised to become a world leader in elephant population
management, conservation, scientific research, and care in zoos and
in the wild. The Center will become the epicenter for AZA elephant
population management and excellence in care and conservation.
Today nearly 290 elephants are cared for in North American zoos
accredited by the AZA. Each one serves as a vital, living link to
elephants in the wild, directly inspiring people to care about the
future of elephants worldwide.
Planting Seeds
10
Endangered animal species are managed in AZA zoos through the
Species Survival Plan (SSP), a cooperative population management and
conservation program for selected species in North American zoos.
Each SSP manages the breeding of a species in order to maintain a
healthy and self-sustaining population. Beyond this, SSPs participate
The Zoo on the Worldwide Stage
in a variety of other cooperative conservation activities, such as
research, public education, reintroduction, and field projects.
Currently, 107 SSPs covering 161 individual species are administered
by the AZA. The Indianapolis Zoo maintains 18 different SSP animals
and holds five studbooks—the record keeping that allows the SSPs
to plan placement and breeding.
For example, the Zoo has been successful in breeding the two rarest
lizards on Earth, both rock iguana species, the Grand Cayman blue
iguana and the Jamaican iguana. In addition, the Indianapolis Zoo
has a continued presence in the Dominican Republic in an effort to
save habitat for the Ricord’s iguana. This is a full-scale commitment
and multifaceted program that includes such elements as an
The Indianapolis Zoo is also partnering with the World Conservation
Union (IUCN), one of the world’s largest conservation networks. The IUCN brings together 82 states, 111 governmental agencies, more
than 800 non-governmental organizations, and some 10,000 scientists
and experts from 181 countries in a unique worldwide partnership.
The Indianapolis Zoo, in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation, is
supporting the IUCN’s project documenting the known impacts of climate
change on species and habitat. Through the gathering and analysis of the
data gathered through this project, the IUCN will guide the development
of methods and tools for reducing the impacts of climate change on
vulnerable species. The data will enable us all to better understand which
species are at greatest risk and where to concentrate our efforts.

Lemur Babies
Looking Ahead
Seriously Fun Events
The Zoo also conducts studies that impact the health and well-being of
the animals in our own collection. For example, how would you know
if a baby ring-tailed lemur was growing at a normal rate? Today there
aren’t any information resources to guide their care. In several years,
however, there will be. Our lemur staff has gained the trust of mother
lemurs, allowing us to handle their babies and take weights and various
body measurements as they mature, thereby establishing baseline
data that others can use. In 2008, there were plenty of subjects for
this research–four tiny and very active baby lemurs that charmed
Zoo visitors throughout the summer. This project has significant
implications for the quality of care
we–and other zoos–are able to
provide. Because all lemur species
are endangered in their native
Madagascar, the well being of lemurs
in human care is extremely important.
Not only is breeding used to increase
the population of lemurs, but
the information garnered from
captive lemurs can be utilized in
understanding and managing wild
lemurs more effectively.
The addition of a formal nutrition program at the Zoo has opened
several avenues of inquiry. One of the more interesting long-term
studies is the dolphin taste study. While many zoo animals today accept
prepared diets, like those you buy for your pets, the Indianapolis Zoo
has a number of animals (dolphins, walrus, penguins, and more) that
instead depend on whole fish as a diet mainstay. Currently we thaw
more than 400 pounds of fish each day to feed these animals. But
with ocean pollution, dwindling fish stocks, and competition between
dolphins and humans for the remaining food fishes, we worry about
the long-term availability of quality seafood.
The Indianapolis Zoo also supports its local chapter of the American
Association of Zoo Keepers in two fundraising events. The annual
Bowling for Rhinos event raises funds for three rhino sanctuaries in
Kenya, Indonesia, and Sumatra. The Putting for Penguins miniature
golf event raises money for Feather Link, Inc., an organization devoted
to bird conservation.
The taste study began with dolphins because they are notoriously
finicky eaters. What level of each of the five taste parameters (salt,
sweet, sour, bitter, and umami (or protein) will a dolphin find
palatable? To find the answer, our dolphins have each been getting
cubes of gel as a side dish for the past year. Just like humans, of the
five flavors, the dolphins couldn’t get enough of their favorite–sweet.
The cubes have had different tastes added to them in ever increasing
concentrations. While fish will continue to be an important item in
dolphin diets, it may be possible to establish a healthy alternative
through the development of these gel substitutes, thereby saving
money and, more importantly, precious stocks of fish.
The Staff
To be an animal care professional at an accredited American zoo, you need
to have an almost unimaginable personal commitment, as well as being
the best of the best at your job. Statistically, there are more positions open
each year for professional football rookies than there are for first-time
zookeepers. That’s because the Indianapolis Zoo is one of only about 200
zoos in the nation accredited by the AZA, out of more than 2,000 federally
registered animal exhibit facilities. The requirements for accreditation are
extensive and complex, and the associated standards required of our staff
are high. For that reason, we are grateful for the highly qualified team of
experienced veterinarians, nutritionists, and zookeepers who work so hard
every day to ensure that our animals live long, healthy, and active lives.

New in 2008
Saving Endangered Species
Ringtail Lemur Babies and Crowned Lemurs Added –Zoo
visitors were enthralled throughout the year by the antics of
four baby ringtail lemurs. Leaping from branch to branch
or hanging from their toes, these babies were active and
absolutely charming. A pair of striking crowned lemurs was
added to the population on Lemur Island next to the Café on
the Commons. Its name, the crowned lemur, describes the
conspicuous marking above the brow line and by the sides of
the eyes. All species of lemurs are endangered in their native
habitat of Madagascar, primarily
from loss of habitat, conflict with
humans, and the introduction of
feral animals.
The Zoo’s breeding program is
important to the future of lemurs,
14
not only for its contribution to the population of lemurs in human
care but for research purposes. In addition, the Zoo staff keeps the
international studbook for ringtail lemurs (a detailed record of all
the animals in zoos used to make breeding decisions), as well as being
actively involved in lemur research within Madagascar itself.
It is in this context where a very special connection has been made
between Zoo staff and the native population of this stunning island.
Rich in fascinating wildlife, diverse habitats and often beautiful, if
sometimes harsh, environments, Madagascar is very poor financially.
While researching the native lemurs, Zoo staffers were invited to
meet groups of students from the local schools. They discovered
the people of Madagascar living at a barely subsistence level. By
coordinating donations from Indiana and elsewhere, the staff has been
able to send regular shipments of supplies to these children, including
paper, pencils, and other necessities. The hope is that this continuing
relationship will result in the desired outcome–a young population
committed to saving the animals of their native land.
15
New Gazelles – Last year we added a new species of gazelles to the
collection. Our two male Speke’s gazelles are part of plan for the Zoo
to house a bachelor herd of this species, courtesy of the Association
of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Population Management Plan. Speke’s
are one of the smallest African gazelles and are extremely fast. They
look similar to Thomson’s gazelles by being tan in color on the upper
portions of the body and white
underneath, with a dark stripe
along their sides. Speke’s
gazelles are endangered and
their original range included
most of Somalia and parts of
Ethiopia. The main reason for
their decline is loss of grazing
areas to livestock. Housing the
bachelor herd here will allow
for a wider variety of options
in terms of breeding these
rare animals.
16
African Wild Dog Arrives – Mbili, a female African wild dog, is
seven years old and was born at the Toledo Zoo. She arrived here in
April 2008. With her beautiful mottled coat and long slender legs,
it’s no wonder that this species is also known as the Painted Wolf. We
are working closely with the AZA’s Species Survival Plan (SSP) to
locate a mate for Mbili, so we can continue to breed these extremely
endangered animals.
Asian Small Clawed Otter Birth – Our mated pair of otters, Lizzie
and AJ, were once again successful in reproducing in 2008. A young
female pup, later named Makara, was born in March and now frolics
with her parents on exhibit. The otters are another SSP animal at
the Zoo–one of 18 different species here. The Zoo’s collection also
includes three native Indiana species that are endangered–the barn
owl, timber rattlesnake, and western cottonmouth snake.
Gentoo Penguin Chick – We were delighted in December 2008
when a new Gentoo penguin chick hatched–the first in Indianapolis
Zoo history. There is growing evidence to suggest that many wild
penguin populations are being stressed, and at the Indianapolis Zoo,
we are doing our part to help. Currently, 11 species of penguins
found in American zoos are managed under a Taxon Advisory Group
(TAG), and Karen Waterfall, area manager of Oceans presented
by Old National Bank, is a member of the Penguin TAG Steering
Committee. Recently it has been recommended that ten of these
species be moved into more intense categories of management.
More Babies – It was a productive year
all around the Zoo! We also welcomed
11 blue-tongued skink babies, a Dutch
belted calf named Martin, a Guinea
baboon named Obi, and a young kudu.
Visitors Go Behind the Scenes
In 2008, the Zoo piloted a program
called Adventure Tours, where visitors
could go behind the scenes at a variety
of interesting locations for a modest
fee. The Tours ran from late May
through August and proved to be a hit with participants who got to
pet a penguin; touch an elephant; or feed a dolphin, among many
other options. This interpretive program will continue and offers
Zoo staff one more opportunity to talk about conservation with
our guests.
Happy Anniversary – On June 11, 2008, the Indianapolis Zoo
celebrated its 20th anniversary in its White River State Park location.
To mark this special occasion, admission prices were rolled back to
the 1988 levels for the day and a local band played music from the
‘80s while visitors celebrated.
17
Rhinos Revised
All the remaining species of rhinos in the
world are endangered, and the Southern white rhino is one of
the Species Survival Plan (SSP) animals at the Indianapolis Zoo.
We are actively attempting to breed the rhinos, and as part of
that process, in 2008, the Zoo acquired two new white rhinos.
Weighing in at 5,000 pounds and not afraid to show his softer side
is Spike, our new male white rhinoceros. Spike is 19 years old and
came to us from an animal park in Florida on a loan exchange with
two of the Zoo’s other rhinos, male Ongava and female Jao. Spike has
successfully fathered calves in the past, and the SSP is hopeful that he
may mate with females Mambo or Gloria, our new female. Gloria
arrived at the Zoo in April. She is 29 years old, weighs about 4,000
pounds and is on loan from the Fort Worth Zoo.
It may be surprising that rhinos–with their rough exteriors, massive
size and razor sharp horns–are as much at risk of extinction as they
are. Rhinos have existed on Earth for more than 50 million years and
18
have a glorious history. In the past, rhinos were much more diverse
and widespread (occurring in North America and Europe, as well as
Africa and Asia).
Today, only five species of rhino survive. These five species are further
divided into 11 identified subspecies. These animals are threatened
by poaching, primarily for their horns, which are used in traditional
Asian medicine, as well as by habitat loss and degradation caused by
human encroachment. All but one species of rhinos are on the verge
of extinction. Without drastic action, some rhinos could be extinct in
the wild within the next 10 to 20 years. Only about 24,500 of these
marvelous creatures survive in
the wild, with another 1,250
in human care.
The Zoo also supports rhino
conservation through its work
with the International Rhino
Foundation.
19
Bear Cubs Create Excitement
One highlight of 2008 was the arrival of two
brown bear cubs from Alaska. Just in time for the annual holiday
event at the Zoo, the two cubs, brother and sister, took up
residence in the bear exhibit in Forests. The Association of
Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Bear Taxon Advisory Group (our
bear experts) suggests that exhibit spaces available for North
American brown bears be reserved for animals impacted by
adverse human/bear interactions. Unfortunately there are a
large number of such incidents across our nation as human
encroachment into wild places increases potential for conflict.
More incidents occur each year than appropriate homes can
accommodate—with tragic consequences for the affected
animals. Although we were given opportunities to receive brown
bears from other zoos, our staff quickly decided to reserve our
exhibit space for wild bears with absolutely no other options,
which was appropriate for the Indianapolis Zoo’s mission.
20
In August 2008, we received word that there may be an opportunity
for us to help a young pair of cubs. The area around Anchorage, Alaska,
was facing a season of increased and dramatic human/wildlife conflicts.
In one such case, a female bear with two cubs was believed to have
been responsible for mauling a jogger–a suspicion later confirmed
through DNA testing. Authorities dispatched the sow and were able to
catch one of the cubs, a male. It took almost three weeks before the
other cub, a female, was captured.
Both cubs were housed at the Alaska Zoo while we made arrangements
to receive them. After the cubs were reunited, two Indianapolis
Zoo staff members, including a veterinarian, flew to Anchorage and
accompanied the bear cubs on their trip to Indianapolis. At the time
of their arrival at the Indianapolis Zoo, the male, K’etnu (which
means river), and his sister Ki’ak (which means summer), weighed
between 85-88 pounds. Both were about eight months old. Following
quarantine and some time to adjust to their new home, these Alaskan
brown bear cub siblings were placed on exhibit. They grew rapidly
and now are both well over 200 pounds each. Eventually, the male
bear will top half a ton, and the female will reach a weight of about
600 pounds.
Their youthful antics and heightened activity levels created instant
excitement for both Zoo staff and visitors, and the cubs’ obvious good
spirits were the perfect holiday gift for us. With luck, we will be able
to follow this twosome through all the important stages of their lives.
Special thanks to the Alaska Zoo and the Alaska Department of Fish and
Game staff for their cooperation and to Federal Express for their support in
transporting Ki’ak and K’etnu to Indianapolis.
21
Koalas: Hit of the Summer
For summer 2008, the Indianapolis Zoo
featured two guests that exemplified two different but related
concepts–an exhibit with serious public appeal and a serious
conservation message. Koalas presented by Citizens Gas ran
from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend, and
drew thousands of visitors to see what our marketing efforts
promised were “the adorable duo.” The exhibit began with
Aboriginal artwork and music leading into the exhibit. The
Aussie atmosphere continued with other Down Under natives,
including finches, tree frogs, lizards, and snakes. At the end were
two Queensland koalas, Coombah and Bamba, on loan from the
San Diego Zoo. From the moment they arrived at Indianapolis
International Airport until their departure, they were the hit of
the summer season and indeed proved to be adorable.
22
The exhibit not only spotlighted how truly appealing these animals are
but told the story of how they are threatened in their native Australia
by human encroachment, habitat destruction, and predation from feral
animals. The accompanying exhibit interpretation–including signage,
daily keeper chats, naturalists, summer camps, and the Zoo web site–
gave important information on how visitors could help conserve koalas
in their home range, reinforcing the connection between a problem in
a distant location that can be impacted by actions taken by Hoosiers.
For more information on saving koalas, visit the Australian Koala
Foundation web site at
www.savethekoala.com.
23
In the Field with Iguanas
In April 2008, the Indianapolis Zoo, in
partnership with The National Zoo of the Dominican Republic
(also known as ZooDom) and Grupo Jaragua (a Dominican
environmental non-governmental organization), participated
in a continued field research project on endangered Ricord’s
iguanas (Cyclura ricordii) in the Dominican Republic. The main
goal of this project was to perform a comprehensive population
survey of critically endangered Ricord’s iguanas and compare
that information to the population of threatened Rhinoceros
iguanas (Cyclura cornuta cornuta).
24
The cooperative nature of the team involved and the work
accomplished on a continuing basis over a long period of years
dramatically demonstrates what can be accomplished when
everyone is committed to a conservation mission. The Indianapolis
Zoo team included Dr. Betsy Stringer (Eli Lilly and Company Intern
Veterinarian), Renae Burks (Veterinary Technician), Dr. Jason Williams
(Nutritionist), Richard Searcy (Senior Keeper – Deserts Biome) and
John E. Wyatt III (Senior Keeper, Deserts Biome). Dr. Gerard Garcia
(ZooDom Veterinarian) and Dr. Laura Perdomo (Grupo Jaragua
Veterinarian) also participated in all aspects of this project. A local
guide Moná (Lago Enriquillo Guides) assisted with locating iguanas,
dens, and food plants.
In their habitat, iguanas of this species are the largest land animals.
Rock iguanas, of which Ricord’s iguanas are one species) were once
found throughout the Caribbean and West Indies, but they are now
threatened with extinction almost everywhere they live. Burgeoning
human population and development has destroyed much of their
habitat and fragmented most of what remains. Introduced species now
compete with iguanas for food, trample nest sites, kill the hatchling
lizards, and eat the eggs. The stakes are high, but iguana researchers
like the team from the Indianapolis Zoo believe that if the threats are
reduced and the iguanas are given some space and a little help, most
populations can recover.
The field site is Isla Cabritos, an island in the western region of the
Dominican Republic. This portion of the project was conducted using
a well-established method of population assessment. The team walked
transects running north and south every 500 meters across the length
of the island. During 2008’s population assessment, the team saw a
total of 18 Ricord’s iguanas and nine Rhinoceros iguanas.
In addition to the population research, the team continued biomedical
assessments of the Ricord’s iguanas. Animals were also tagged with
colored beads through the neck crest and microchips were placed
for future identification. A nutrition study was also initiated while
on Isla Cabritos, and the data will be utilized for comparison with
nutrient information collected from diets fed to captive iguanas to
develop nutrition protocols that more closely match the actual dietary
requirements for this species.
It is important to note that this project supports the World Conservation
Union’s Iguana Specialist Group’s Ricord’s Iguana Species Recovery
Plan. This was a continuation of research started five years ago, and
the Indianapolis Zoo will continue to send participants into the field
in the upcoming years to collect more data for the population survey,
biomedical assessment, and nutrition study. The Indianapolis Zoo also
maintains a board position on the International Iguana Foundation, and
Dr. Jan Ramer, Zoo Associate Veterinarian
and leader of this project, is deputy chair
of the Iguana Specialist Group.

Seeds of Conservation
In 2008, nowhere was any greener than
White River Gardens, but, of course, being a botanical attraction,
you’d expect nothing less. Being green, however, doesn’t just
apply to the color of the plantings but to the concepts being
taught through the auspices of the Gardens, the horticulture staff,
and the volunteers who help create and maintain this urban oasis.
In its ninth full growing season last year, the Gardens showed off its
remarkable maturity for a public garden still quite young in botanical
terms. The design ideas and concepts demonstrated throughout the
outdoor DeHaan Tiergarten were magnified by the age and size of
the plantings and were bolstered by interpretative elements, such as
Gardener’s Notes signage, personal consultations with the staff of
the Dick Crum Resource Center, and a wide variety of educational
materials available for visitors to take home.
28
Inside the Hilbert Conservatory, the horticulture staff implemented
some subtle, but important, changes in the show programming
that focused attention on the habitats of plants and animals and
the importance of conserving native environments. The summer
“Butterflies” show included increased information on the lives and
ranges of the exotic specimens on display, while the fall show changed
to a new theme–“Autumn Harvest.” Not only did this new show
celebrate the natural beauty of autumn, it also provided information
on the relationship between Indiana’s agrarian heritage and the
preservation of native plants.
The Conservatory shows are supported through an endowment funded by the
Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation, Inc. The Indianapolis Zoo Art and Nature
programming is supported by the Arts Council of Indianapolis and the City
of Indianapolis.

The Green Zoo
The Indianapolis Zoo, always conscious of
conservation, has steadily increased its own participation in
programs that help protect the environment for all living beings.
• As of 2008, the Indianapolis Zoo is a 100% green user of electricity
through the Indianapolis Power & Light Company’s Green Power
Option that allows customers to purchase electricity generated from
clean, renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, geothermal
or biomass generation. www.iplpower.com
• The Indianapolis Zoo internally recycles all its recyclable paper,
corrugated cardboard, aluminum, glass, plastic, wood, scrap metal,
newspaper and mulch thanks to our official recycling partner, Ray’s
Trash Service. We use landscape and tree trimmings as enrichment
for some of our animals. In 2008, the Zoo recycled:
30
Paper 6.45 tons
Cardboard 22.71 tons
Bottles and Cans
(Plastic, Glass, Aluminum) 3.7 tons
Wood Waste
520 yards
Scrap Metal 11.64 tons
• The Indianapolis Chapter of the American Association of Zoo
Keepers maintains a program to recycle cell phones through
Eco-cell. All of the money raised goes to wildlife conservation
and research. www.eco-cell.org
• In the fall of 2008, the Indianapolis Zoo began an herbivore manure
recycling program. Partnering with Ray’s Trash Service, our manure
is taken to a special facility located in Indianapolis. There the
manure is composted and turned into fertilizer–completing the
natural cycle.
• In 2009, the Zoo will begin a new program to reuse a portion of
the saltwater contained in its dolphin facilities and will initiate a
public event to recycle electronics.

Reaching Out to a New Generation
Create awareness of conservation. Promote
a conservation ethic. Increase knowledge about threatened
wildlife and wild places. Protect wildlife. Among a long list of
programs and projects to be completed by the staff of the Polly
H. Hix Institute for Conservation and Research, these overriding
goals define the vision of the Zoo’s commitment to the next
generation of conservationists.
The Indianapolis Zoo is very excited about educating teachers,
students, and the general public about celebrating, protecting, and
preserving our natural world through conservation, education, and
research. In 2008, the education department became the Polly H. Hix
Institute, which merges the functions of education, conservation, and
science into a single operational unit. During this pivotal year, the
Institute staff served more than 30,000 students through a variety of
educational programs in addition to the 92,000-plus students who
visited the Zoo on school field trips.

2008 Volunteer Services Area Hours Report
Green
Partnerships
Volunteers continued to play an integral role
in Zoo operations in 2008. Nearly 675 individuals between the
ages of 14 and 92 contributed 59,428 hours of service in more
than 40 different assignments. Partnering with Zoo staff, these
volunteers provide their own professional skills and expertise
in issues relating to animals and their stories and assist with
delivering the conservation message to our visitors.
For example, volunteers were stationed at the Oceans presented by
Old National Bank shark touch pool to assist guests with this unique
interactive experience. More than 750 shifts were filled throughout
the year in this one area alone. The on-grounds interpretation at the
Koala presented by Citizens Gas exhibit was enhanced with assistance
from the Indy Aussies Club. This group of native Australians shared
their personal stories with staff and guests throughout the planning
and implementation phases of the project, and they added great
atmosphere to the exhibit. Animal care staff were assisted in the daily
care of our collection by adult volunteers and college interns. The
beautiful plant life throughout the Zoo and White River Gardens was
also enhanced with volunteer Master Gardeners and those individuals
with “green” talent to share.
34
As the following report demonstrates, the Zoo benefits from volunteers
in every area, including veterinarian services, on-grounds interpretation,
administration, and more.
This report shows the number of Indianapolis Zoo Volunteers (Adult,
Intern, Zoo Teen, Special Events) who participated in given areas and
the total hours donated to the Zoo.

MyCarbonPledge.com
In 2008, the Indianapolis Zoo, in partnership
with Lowe’s, was able to make the connection between one of
the most charismatic animals on Earth–the magnificent polar
bear–and the general public through a unique initiative called
MyCarbonPledge.com. Utilizing this web site, which details the
threats to polar bears from disappearing and shrinking sea ice
due to climate change, we gave web visitors the chance to make
a difference. Visitors were asked to pledge to change a specific
number of incandescent lightbulbs for the more energy-efficient
CFL bulbs. Each individual who adopts this change helps reduce
the CO2 emissions that are causing global warming.
36
The site not only encourages
real, very specific actions
that help the environment,
it includes open discussions
on important issues and
fascinating information provided by a range of experts and concerned
citizens. This is a grass roots campaign targeting neighborhoods and
neighborhood associations, schools, churches, organizations, and
businesses. It is an online social community promoting green pride,
and it will continue with another tangible (and doable) call to action
in 2009–unplugging unused appliances that waste electricity.
37
Changing Behaviors
“My passion and profession have taken me to
many lands as a sympathetic trespasser and roving researcher
cooperating with local scientists, officials, and governments,
gathering the detailed knowledge upon which conservation
must be based so that I can promote and prod to preserve
fragments of a country’s natural heritage. I learned long
ago that conservation has no victories, that one must retain
connections and remain involved with animals and places
that have captured the heart–mountain gorillas, the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge–to prevent their destruction. I
am sometimes asked why, given a world that is ever more
wounded and scarred, I do not simply give up, burdened by
pessimism. But conservation is my life: I must retain hope.”
The biennial $100,000 Indianapolis Prize represents the largest
individual monetary award for animal conservation in the world and
is given as an unrestricted gift to the chosen honoree.The Indianapolis
Prize was initiated by the Indianapolis Zoo as a significant component
of its mission to inspire local and global communities to celebrate,
protect, and preserve our natural world through conservation,
education, and research. This award brings the world’s attention to
the cause of animal conservation and the brave, talented, and dedicated
men and women who spend their lives saving the Earth’s endangered
animal species.

Honoring Heroes of Conservation
A direct connection to animal conservation
came in late 2008, when we had the privilege of honoring a
real icon of animal conservation, Dr. George Schaller, with
the biennial Indianapolis Prize. Schaller, whose leadership in
groundbreaking field biology and research has inspired and
informed more than one generation of conservationists, was
guided by Zoo staff in making that local/global connection
in a variety of ways.
His recorded messages, along with messages from the other Prize
finalists, were heard via cell phones accessed on Zoo grounds through
our Dial-a-Hero program. His work was explained and lauded on
the Indianapolis Prize web site, and his accomplishments and serious
concerns were publicized to huge audiences via radio, television and
print. His experience and wisdom were displayed via television and
the Internet during a live webcast from Ball State University. His
voice was raised in challenge to the assembled audience at the Prize
40
Gala presented by AES Corporation. His words of wisdom, along with
those spoken by fellow Prize finalists, Dr. Iain Douglas-Hamilton and
Dr. Rodney Jackson, were passed to children during the Meet-a-Hero
event at the Zoo. His message was carried from coast to coast on a
special lecture tour that stretched from California to the National Zoo
in Washington, D.C.
Through the auspices of the Prize, genuine heroes of conservation –
such as Schaller, Douglas-Hamilton, Jackson, Dr. Laurie Marker,
Dr. Roger Payne and Dr. K. Ullas Karanth, along with 2006 recipient
Dr. George Archibald of
the International Crane
Foundation – are making
the case for conservation by
leading the way through their
actions and by providing
inspiration for us all.

Executive Editor:
“It is heartening that so many people around the world now want
to protect their wild places and wild creatures. At the same time,
new pressures, problems, and conflicts are unavoidable as the human
population–already at 6.5 billion–continues to grow.
The world’s wildlife needs our help. There is no ultimate victory
in conservation, no happy ending that allows us to give a sigh of
contentment and close the book. Gorillas, tigers, lions, snow leopards,
pandas, and other rare species cannot be permanently ‘saved.’ Every
generation needs those who can see beyond the lumber value of a
redwood, the protein value of a wildebeest, the fashion value of a chiru,
and even the entertainment value of a panda. We need young people
with the moral vision to grant wild places and wild creatures the right
to exist, whole, free, and untouched.
In return, we are offered enough beauty to fill our hearts. And for those
lucky enough to gaze into the eyes of a wild tiger, we receive wonder,
awe, and a lesson in humility.”
