G A southern hairynosed wombat arrived
in January.
ach year when I draft this letter, I find myself looking
back at the highlights and accomplishments of the
past year with pride. This year is no exception, except
that my thoughts are more focused on the future. As
construction of Rainforest of the Americas—the last
major project of the first phase of our Master Plan—
nears completion, we are working behind the scenes
to create a vision for what the Zoo will look like in
the future—which species are in need of new habitats,
which programs or services can be improved, how can
we reimagine the Zoo to better meet the needs of our
guests and the animals in our care?
Many of the animal acquisitions that have occurred
during the past year—including a new harpy eagle, a
matamata turtle, cotton-top tamarins, marine toads,
and dozens of red-bellied piranha—were made in
anticipation of the Rainforest exhibit. Another notable
newcomer, the southern hairy-nosed wombat, remains
off-exhibit while plans are made to reopen the Australia
House to the public. More than 20 years have passed
since the Zoo has had wombats in residence, and
we look forward to announcing his Zoo debut in the
coming months.
Several important births occurred—including seven
peninsular pronghorn, a southern pudu, a tufted
deer, and a Cape griffon vulture—allowing the Zoo to
maintain breeding populations today of species that
will be at risk in the wild tomorrow.
The Zoo furthered our global commitments invol­
ving endangered species, funding more than 30 field
research and conservation projects, including the
Philippine Eagle Conservation Program, and Paso
Pacifico, which has been working to preserve the
last populations of jaguars remaining in western
Nicaragua. Closer to home, we supported a survey of
squirrels and other species inhabiting Griffith Park.

Dear
G Primatologist Jane Goodall was among the distinguished
guests who visited the Zoo last year.
Throughout the year our staff members attended
conferences and workshops on practically every
continent, sharing their own knowledge and bringing
back insights from others working in the zoological
profession. We hosted conferences and a series of
lectures by distinguished biologists, among them
Susie Ellis of the International Rhino Foundation, Bill
Robichaud of the Saola Working Group, and Roland
Wirth of the Zoological Society for the Conservation of
Species and Populations. And our friend Jane Goodall
stopped by to visit our chimps and film a segment
for the DVD release of the Disney documentary
Chimpanzee.
We hope you will continue to be a part of all of the
excitement that’s in store for you at the Los Angeles
Zoo.

T
he 2012–2013 fiscal year represented a wave of change
as we began to wrap up the Zoo’s current Master Plan
and turned our attention toward the future. With the
upcoming opening of Rainforest of the Americas, the
Zoo will have completed 10 major capital projects in
these last 15 years. In addition to funding many
of these projects, during this timeframe GLAZA
also undertook a series of concessions and retail
renovations on behalf of the Zoo, created a new
concessions master plan, built the Tom Mankiewicz
Conservation Carousel, and funded construction of
the new Angela Collier World of Birds Show Theater.
The landscape of the Zoo is indeed vastly different
than it was in the early 1990s.
In this past year, GLAZA concentrated on wrapping
up many of its commitments to this current phase of
the Zoo’s development, raising more than $8 million
in contributions and grants to support operations,
programming, and capital projects. Several major
gifts have made it possible for us to arrive at a plan to
retire our $20 million-plus commitment to Elephants
of Asia in the next three years, far in advance of
projections. We were thrilled when this centerpiece
of the Zoo received a Significant Achievement Award
from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums last
year. We also com-­

look at our “house” with a fresh eye to determine
the next steps in the Zoo’s development. We are
delighted to be working with our Zoo colleagues
in envisioning what the Los Angeles Zoo of the future
can be—and helping to bring a range of new plans
to fruition for the benefit of the animals and the
community.
A great strength of the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical
Gardens is that it is a zoo for all. We are dedicated
to ensuring that it continues to be affordable
while providing an ever more dynamic experience
that nurtures wildlife and enriches the human
experience.

In December 2012, the Zoo received a male
koala from the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia,
providing new genetics to the colony. In March, a
female koala arrived from the Riverbanks Zoo in
Columbia, South Carolina. A koala joey was born
in May.
G Two Japanese serow arrived, reestablishing the species at the L.A. Zoo after an
18-month absence. Only three other North
American zoos exhibit this declining species. The Zoo funded the first study of the
illegal trade of serow in Southeast Asia.
G A violaceous turaco, Ross’s turaco,
Bali mynah, black-crowned crane, and

F With fewer than 25 individuals remaining

Espacios Naturales and other organizations to
