resident creatures. The LAIR is truly another facet
on the gem that is the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical
Gardens.
The L.A. Zoo is an important component of the
greater Los Angeles region’s quality of life. Citizens
need safe places to recreate and decompress from
their daily chores. The corporate responsibility of the
Zoo to save wildlife and wild places manifests itself in
good educational programming, conservation support,
and academic research—all of which enhances the
Los Angeles community. Employers, educators, and
businesses all know this, and you do, too. So, thank
you for your support this past year. I look forward
to working with you again in the coming year,
improving the quality of life for Angelenos and wildlife
everywhere.
John R. Lewis,

G The long-awaited LAIR
is a stunning showcase of
amphibian, invertebrate,
and reptile diversity.
Welcome to the 2011–2012 Annual Report edition
of Zoo View. Another year of great achievement is
behind us, while challenging us to do even more in
the years to come. The capstone of 2012 was certainly
the opening of the LAIR. This new facility showcasing
the diversity, beauty, and adaptations among living
amphibians, invertebrates, and reptiles embodies the
multifaceted purpose of a modern zoological park.
The L.A. Zoo is an economic engine for the greater
Los Angeles region, supporting retail businesses,
contract services, and tourism. Building the LAIR
provided numerous construction and skilled trade
jobs while also benefiting the building supply industry.
The LAIR is a favorite among zoo visitors, allowing
kids of all ages to get close-up views of these amazing
creatures. Like the Zoo itself, it is a safe haven for
friends and families to enjoy each other’s company
in an urban oasis. While viewing the LAIR’s residents,
visitors can learn about what makes them special and
the challenges they face in their native habitats. LAIR
staff converse with visitors about the important work
the L.A. Zoo is doing to conserve and understand the
F G The LAIR’s grand opening
and advertising campaign spurred
record attendance in April, the
year’s busiest month.

G G E Members and donors were
treated to special previews of the
LAIR, sponsored by Wells Fargo.
E GLAZA’s newest attraction was
dubbed “one of America’s best carousels” by Travel and Leisure magazine.
Dear
As John Lewis notes, the opening of the LAIR was
the highlight of the 2011-12 fiscal year, and GLAZA
members celebrated with the Zoo the success of this
achievement. As the Zoo’s first phase of its Master
Plan nears completion with the LAIR’s debut, we are
also approaching the end of many years of constant
construction. Patrons took ready note, for the
renovations completed to date attracted the highest
zoo attendance in more than 20 years, reaching
1.66 million for the last fiscal year. Reflecting this
upward trend, GLAZA’s membership base soared to
nearly 73,000 households, and concessions increased
dramatically, providing the Zoo with much additional
revenue for operations in an era of government
retrenchment. Zoo membership remains the highest
membership base among Los Angeles cultural
institutions—it truly is a campus enjoyed by families
from across our entire Los Angeles community.
GLAZA opened the Tom Mankiewicz Conservation
Carousel in late October 2011, our first design-toconstruction project for the Zoo in recent history. This
one-of-a-kind Los Angeles–themed carousel—replete
with hand-carved figures of endangered species and
the magnificent racehorse Zenyatta, a mural placing
Zoo animals at a host of natural California locations,
and an A&M Records soundtrack programmed by
donors Ann and Jerry Moss—quickly became the
darling of merry-go-round aficionados across the
country. Indeed, Travel and Leisure promptly named
it “one of America’s best carousels,” a distinction we
are thrilled to have. Within eight months more than
120,000 individuals had taken a spin, all in support of
programming at the Los Angeles Zoo.
JAMIE PHAM
ZOO FRIENDS
Among a host of projects we raised funds in earnest
for was a much needed capital improvement to the
World of Birds Show. A brand new stucco “house”
that facilitates the handling and showing of the Zoo’s
bird collection is now underway and will welcome Zoo
visitors in the spring of 2013. To be called the Angela
Collier World of Birds Theater, it will be a renewed
and important component of the Zoo’s education and
conservation programming.
Endowment provides an essential financial
foundation for the Zoo, for it secures the Zoo’s
programming into the 21st century and beyond.
Docent Laura Tyler understood the importance of
providing for a community resource that touches
almost everyone in Los Angeles during their lives;
she designated a named fund, the Laura Tyler Docent
and Volunteer Endowment, to support volunteer
programming at the Zoo, with a gift of more than
$800,000 that was realized in the spring of 2012.
We deeply appreciate her foresight and generosity,
knowing it will benefit multiple generations of Zoo
visitors.
We appreciate all our members and supporters,
for with you, the Zoo soars. Thank you so much for
joining in the life of your community by supporting
the Los Angeles Zoo.
