The Serengeti Committee, chaired by Robert Gerard, is fundraisingfor this project, and we are grateful to the SA Tourism Commission for their support in facilitating a feasibility studyfor the development of Monarto as a prime tourism location, just 40 minutes drive from Adelaide.In April the Westpac Envirodome Education Centre was opened at Adelaide Zoo. Zoos SA provides class-time for60,000 children every year, and our transportable classrooms were entirely inadequate for this expanding sector.Funding was provided by Westpac, which sponsored the Discovery Centre. The Department of Education and Children’sServices sponsored new classrooms and office space, and Zoos SA has provided a new library and resource centre, anda green rooftop camping facility, with permanent tents for sleepovers.This state-of-the-art education centre is providing a hands-on approach to environmental learning, which notonly informs, but is great fun!Zoos SA exists to save animals from extinction, and under the banner of Conservation Ark, we are actively involvedin breeding programs for our endangered native species.Conservation Ark is the science and research arm of Zoos SA and it holds one of the largest portfolios of nativeanimal research projects in Australia. There have been many notable successes this year, but I shall focus on the Warru,or Black-flanked rock wallaby from the APY lands in north-western SA where an estimated 100 remain in the wild.The Warru are being successfully cross-fostered by Yellow-footed rock wallabies at Monarto, and two joeys were born therein April. This project is being enthusiastically supported by the Indigenous community of the APY lands, and they sent us anAboriginal painting signifying the importance of Warru, which now hangs in the CEO’s office at Adelaide Zoo.Presidents Report – 2 of 6

It includes a two-story gym-style Chimp playroom, and outstanding viewing areas for visitors. TheJuly school holidays saw record visitor numbers at Monarto, which can be attributed in part to the advent of the Chimps.As I write this report, the Giant Panda enclosure is emerging as a magnificent home for Funi and Wang Wang, andthe golden bamboo forest, undulating pathways and mature elms lend a Chinese ambience and tranquillity.The works team from Hindmarsh Constructions are to be congratulated for their outstanding work ethic, as thistwo and a half year project has been completed in 12 months.Zoos SA is also a vibrant and expanding conservation organisation with over 25,000 Members. A recentLife Members drive recruited four times the suggested target!I would like to thank our 400 plus Volunteers for their dedication, passion and hard work, the Executive and Stafffor working at a cracking pace on the construction site of Adelaide Zoo and development projects at Monarto,and to sponsors and friends of Zoos SA. I would like to acknowledge and thank Board members for their hard workand support throughout the year.This Renaissance has heralded an exciting and historic era for the Society, and it is a privilege to serve asPresident during this time.Heather Caddick,President, RZSSAPresidents Report – 3 of 6

It is vital to reflect the way in which all parts of an organization make a contributionso that the readers appreciate how all the constituents make a total which is greater than the sum of the parts.True for Zoos SA/Conservation Ark. Traditionally, assuming an organization is continuing on an upwards trajectory,it allows reference to how things are only getting better . . . also true!CEO Report – 1 of 2

CONTENTSYear In ReviewPresident and CEO’s ReportPresident’s Report 2009CEO’s Report 2009Conservation ProgramsAssets and InfrastructureConservation EducationThe AnimalsLiving collectionsThreatened SpeciesOperationsCommunications and PartnershipsVisitor ExperiencesHuman ResourcesFinancial ReportFinalsWell, within the scope of our organization and its clear conservation and environmental education mission, we arecertainly making progress and this progress is in some ways despite the prevailing external operating environment.So, notwithstanding the advent of a global financial crisis and a related hesitancy on the part of governmentsand companies to invest in our work, we find that we are growing at an unprecedented pace and striking a chordwith the public about environmental and conservation concerns. Our Membership and media profile statisticsdemonstrate that we are now ‘playing in a different league’ and we are forging partnerships and receiving supportthat we could not have expected in the past.Others have provided a factual overview and heartfelt thank-you messages to a growing team spanning Board,staff and Volunteers, and so I will mention three topics. The first is that, like any organization and human collectivegoing through very significant growth and change, we have some growing pains. I don’t particularly mean thepains of upgrading business processes and systems, although we have a few of those. I am referring to the paceand tempo within the organization, the pressure put on many people as we take on major projects (enormous oneslike the Giant Pandas, new fence and entrance at Adelaide and the new African experience on the new extension toMonarto…running to plan and budget I might add!) and make operational changes at the same time. For a periodof time this is asking a lot of people and there are inevitable groans and creaks. But this will ease as we can reducesome of the pace and we catch our breath and refocus on to our core role of conservation, mediated increasinglythrough the identity of Conservation Ark. Which brings me to the second topic. During the year just past we havedemonstrated through actions that we ‘do’ conservation. Just one recognition out of many, but extra specialas it is objective and international, was the invitation to ‘twin’ Conservation Ark with Nordens Ark in Sweden.CEO Report – 2 of 2

CONTENTSYear In ReviewPresident and CEO’s ReportPresident’s Report 2009CEO’s Report 2009Conservation ProgramsAssets and InfrastructureConservation EducationThe AnimalsLiving collectionsThreatened SpeciesOperationsCommunications and PartnershipsVisitor ExperiencesHuman ResourcesFinancial ReportFinalsNordens Ark is the purest and most uncompromising, zoo-based conservation NGO in the world. It has a 20-yearhistory of integrated projects which have secured a future for some of Scandinavia’s most endangered wildlife. Itsunderlying strength is integrity. It measures and weighs every decision and priority against conservation needs andenvironmental and humanitarian values. We can learn a great deal from their example as we seek to navigate theshoals of providing the right advice to consumers about, for example, the perils for Orang-utans of runaway palmoil consumption. It will help us as we continue to ‘think globally and act locally’.The third topic is more of a reflection or observation and it relates to one of the characteristics that makes usdifferent. It is perhaps a product of our proud independent status and a tradition of creativity bordering on theeccentric. I am referring to the fact that we have an increasing number of conversations with individuals andorganizations who are attracted to our open mindedness and ability to cross over into multicultural areas, into thecreative dimensions of art, drama and music, into the community dimensions of disadvantaged groups, plus healthprograms and walking opportunities - the list goes on. But in every new relationship there seems to be a point atwhich we say ’why not?’ and share a sense of something that combines a love of nature, care for the environmentand a responsibility to improve aspects of human society too. I think it is this last topic that makes us stand outfrom the crowd and long may it continue.Chris WestCEO, RZSSA, Professor of Zoology, University of Adelaide; Professor of Biodiversity Conservation, Flinders UniversityCEO Report – 2 of 2

CONTENTSYear In ReviewPresident and CEO’s ReportConservation ProgramsConservation ArkVeterinary Conservation ProgramsAssets and InfrastructureConservation EducationThe AnimalsLiving collectionsThreatened SpeciesOperationsCommunications and PartnershipsVisitor ExperiencesHuman ResourcesFinancial ReportFinalsConservation ArkThis year saw the launch of Conservation Ark, the Society’sintegrated science and conservation arm. ConservationArk was established to encompass the increasing rangeof conservation activities that the Society is involvedwith, including direct co-ordination and management ofthreatened species programs and field support and captivebreeding for release to the wild, as well as research.To coincide with the launch of Conservation Ark, a newwebsite has also been created profiling some of ourconservation and research activities, and that can be seenat www.conservationark.com.au. There are many plans tocontinue to grow the reach of Conservation Ark’s activities,so remember to visit the website and see what new programswe are involved with.Native SpeciesNative programs continue to be a focus for Conservation Arkactivities, with several projects reaching important milestonesin the last year.The Brush-tailed rock wallaby program entered a newstage with the first reintroduction of 10 animals into theGrampians National Park in November. Many years of sitepreparation, baiting, captive breeding and planning wentinto reaching this point. The reintroduction was celebratedwith a gala evening at the Royal Mail Hotel in Dunkeld wherethe many partners and sponsors were thanked for theircontribution to the program. Increases in the wild populationwere also seen along the Snowy River where that populationnow contains more than 20 individuals.The Black-flanked rock wallaby, or Warru, program has seensome exciting developments. The captive population hasgrown with further pouch young brought back from the wildand cross-fostered into Yellow-footed rock wallaby mothers.And population growth has also come from the first joeysbeing born in captivity. Field work has discovered animalsat new sites, expanding the known range and numbers ofanimals, and information continues to be collected on habitatrequirements and genetics which provides the basis forreintroduction planning. Several Anangu rangers also visitedAdelaide and Monarto to gain experience in working withnative species, building the capacity of staff in the APY lands.Conservation and research – 3 of 8

CONTENTSYear In ReviewPresident and CEO’s ReportConservation ProgramsConservation ArkVeterinary Conservation ProgramsAssets and InfrastructureConservation EducationThe AnimalsLiving collectionsThreatened SpeciesOperationsCommunications and PartnershipsVisitor ExperiencesHuman ResourcesFinancial ReportFinalsA fourth reintroduction of 43 SA mainland Tammar wallabieswas undertaken at Innes National Park and now 125 animalshave been returned to the wild. This wild population isstabilising and with a third generation having been born inthe wild, there is great hope for its continued survival in SA.This is a great result for a previously extinct group whosecontinued existence is owed to a feral population in NewZealand. The predator control associated with the release hasnot only allowed the Tammars to return, but park staff havealso seen improvements in the populations of other speciesat Innes National Park, including mallee fowl, hooded plovers,bushstone curlew, goannas and whip birds.The yellow-footed rock wallaby reintroduction to Aroonasanctuary in the Northern Flinders Ranges continues itssuccess, with more than 70 individual animals recorded at thesite since the reintroduction in 1995. In an effort to controlthe feral animals and monitor the grazing pressure, staff havelaid over 400 poison baits and monitored more than 500kmof transect in the last year. The twice-yearly trapping sessionsto monitor the yellow-footed rock wallaby populationhave also been taken on again by Conservation Ark, withinformation contributing to the statewide populationdatabase.Pygmy mulga snake, as well as the discovery of a likely newspecies of gecko. The most recent survey marked the last datacollection period for two PhD students who are now finishingthe analysis of data for small mammals and rock wallabies inthe region.Work continues in the north Kimberley where fauna surveyshave been conducted for several years. This year saw severalnew species added to the survey with the first capturesof Northern carpet python, Yellow-faced whip snake andConservation and research – 4 of 8

CONTENTSYear In ReviewPresident and CEO’s ReportConservation ProgramsConservation ArkVeterinary Conservation ProgramsAssets and InfrastructureConservation EducationThe AnimalsLiving collectionsThreatened SpeciesOperationsCommunications and PartnershipsVisitor ExperiencesHuman ResourcesFinancial ReportFinalsThe contributions of the long-term research into Southernhairy-nosed wombats to conservation were recognized thisyear with an ARAZPA research award, so congratulations toDr David Taggart and his team of researchers. This year theycompleted surveys on the Yorke Peninsula to identify existingwombat colony sites and the likely size of the colonies, aswell as mapping warren density and distribution in theMurraylands using satellite imagery. Two student projectsinto wombat biology were also completed.Another project has investigated the lives of wild echidnasfound within Monarto Zoo. Also close to Monarto is Ferris-Macdonald Conservation Park which is home to a small groupof Mallee fowl. Several staff were involved in visiting the parkand collecting Mallee fowl eggs from the large vegetationmounds the birds use as nests, and then incubating these atAdelaide Zoo. Three chicks now join others in the collection,and it is intended to start captive breeding when theybecome sexually mature.Other work with birds is also occurring with the long-termpelican study at Outer Harbour continuing and expandingto better understand the effect of fisheries on Black-facedcormorants. In the lab work is being conducted to understandcarotenoids in birds; their metabolic pathways, the role ofmaternal and dietary carotenoids and their role in colourationand breeding.Conservation PsychologyAddressing human consumption patterns is a critical partof conservation as, without doing so, much on-groundconservation work will be in vain as climate change andpollution create dramatic changes in the landscape. Eventoday, events that were thought of as once in 100 year eventsare becoming standard with devastating effects. Withouta change in the way we humans think and behave thecontinued existence of many species remains tenuous.With this in mind, Conservation Ark is developing itsconservation psychology activities. Conservation psychologyis a relatively new field that aims to discover how to changenon-sustainable human behaviour in order to protect thenatural environment and conserve diminishing naturalresources. It draws principles from all areas of psychology,and facilitates collaboration with practitioners from otherfields including ecology, biology and social science.Several projects have been looking at people’s conservationknowledge, as well as attitudes and behaviours. Work isbeing undertaken looking at the impact of viewing a Keeperfeed of Wild dogs, and different experiences with Orangutansand tigers. Research into the impact of a Cheetahencounter at Monarto found people showed an increasein Cheetah knowledge, but no change in pro-conservationattitudes (which were already high initially). Importantly nobehavioural indicators of stress were observed in the animalsparticipating in the encounter either.Conservation and research – 5 of 8

This campaignis linked with the new Chimpanzee exhibit at Monarto andasks people to recycle their old mobile phones and so reducethe need for mining of coltan – a precious metal whosemining in the Congo affects the survival of many endangeredprimate species.Other programs are being developed in conjunction withInterpretation to look at the messages we give to our visitorsand partners, to develop campaigns aimed at changing nonsustainablebehaviours and to look further at the impactof wildlife encounters on people’s knowledge, attitudesand behaviours. Conservation Ark is also a participant of anational linkage grant looking at fostering pro-environmentalbehaviour of Zoo visitors through strategic communication.Conservation MedicineConservation Ark’s research and conservation activitiesin relation to animal health and disease are expanding,with details of the activities given under the veterinaryconservation programs. Research continued into the healthof wombats, looking at treatments for sarcoptic mangein wombats, and seasonal changes in antioxidants in thediet of wombats, and projects looking at avian influenzacommenced.Year of the Frog2008 was the Year of the Frog and Conservation Ark was partof the international campaign aimed at raising awarenessand funds for amphibian conservation. With more than athird of the world’s frogs facing extinction, and amphibiansbeing an important part of our natural diversity there was aclear reason to be involved in this campaign and more than$25,000 was sent to aid frog conservation.The Year of the Frog also saw the launch of the revampedcommunity Frog Census program as a web-based program(www.frogatlas.com.au). The Frog Atlas builds on 14 years ofwork by the Environment Protection Authority and enablesmembers of the community to add information about localfrog species that have been heard calling, as well as learnto identify frogs themselves and be able to look at frogdistributions within SA.International eventsConservation Ark was also involved in several internationalevents, hosting the Conservation Breeding Specialist Groupmeeting in Adelaide in October, as well as the Australianarm of the media launch of the release of the revised IUCNredlist with Jane Goodall. Carla Litchfield also took a tourto Africa visiting Great Ape conservation and researchsites. In addition, Conservation Ark signed a twinningagreement with Nordens Ark in Sweden, a not-for-profitconservation organisation which supports species and habitatconservation, as well as informing and inspiring people tocare for the natural world.Conservation and research – 6 of 8

Flinders University students also usedcamping facilities at Indaba where they were involved in aweek-long field course discovering more about the flora andfauna of Monarto. Some teaching time was bought fromFlinders University for Dr Mark Lethbridge who helped putin place structures for the development of ConservationArk, prior to the creation of a full-time position of head ofConservation Ark.Project supportIn addition to the wide range of projects being undertaken byConservation Ark staff, we have been involved in supportingprojects undertaken by others. These have ranged fromproviding bones from meals of the large carnivores tostudents in the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA to testDNA extraction methods, to trialling different ‘house’ designswith Fat-tailed dunnarts at Adelaide Zoo for use as a fieldmonitoring tool for the endangered Kangaroo Island dunnartand providing funding support to partner organisations,including linkage grants with Tasmanian devils and Pygmyblue-tongue lizards.The Victorian bushfires hit many Victorians hard, includingsome of the native species. Only 2000 Leadbeater’s possumwere thought to be alive last year, and the fires burnt morethan 40% of the Leadbeater’s remaining habitat, making theirsituation even more critical. Public donations to aid wildliferecovery after the Victorian bushfires, totalling more than$8800, were sent to help Parks Victoria and The Friends ofthe Leadbeater’s Possum set up nest boxes for Leadbeater’spossums where natural hollows had been lost in the fires.Conservation Ark also donated $5000 to aid a long-termresearch program into Leadbeater’s possums that had morethan a third of its monitoring sites burnt.Into the futureThe need for science-based conservation is stronger thanever and with this in mind, Conservation Ark staff continueto explore new opportunities to discover the best methodsfor conserving the species we share the planet with. We lookforward to an eventful and productive year ahead.Research StudentsWith 42 student projects being supervised by ConservationArk staff, it has been another very busy year for theresearch students. Nineteen projects started and anotherten projects were completed – congratulations to thegraduating students. The projects have been diverse andmany hours have been spent in the field and lab, as wellas writing up theses.Conservation and research – 7 of 8

The improvement in diagnostics is immeasurableand we are very grateful for this equipment.We have some really interesting clinical cases over the lastyear in both Zoos but the outcomes were not always as wehad hoped. Sadly our favourite, Pusung, did not make it.Initially he developed an unusual constipation which didnot respond to a variety of laxatives and other treatments.Endoscopic examination by Dr Jonathan Martin diagnosed aproctitis and colitis which initially responded to prednisolone.However he developed a pneumonia and air sacculitis whichdid not respond to treatment.One of our other Orang-utans, Kluet fell from the largetower in his enclosure and sustained a fractured radius andulna. The fractures were plated with the help of Dr WarrenForeman, veterinarian from the Adelaide Animal Hospital.Unfortunately a sinus tract infection developed and underanaesthesia a piece of infected bone was removed. Antibiotictreatment continued for six weeks until we felt the infectionhad cleared.At Monarto, one of our male lions Leroy gradually becameinappetant and despite intensive examinations during threeanaesthetics, he died. Post mortem examination revealed amost unusual and inoperable laceration of the oesophagusjust caudal to the heart. Back at Adelaide, the male lionMujambi had a series of epileptic fits which are now beingcontrolled with long-term anti-epileptic drugs.We lost Eli the Syrian brown bear, who was euthanased dueto age-related severe arthritis, and two Australian sealions,one with septicaemia and another with haemorrhagicenteritis. We were very fortunate after very intensive careto save our elderly Greater Flamingo which was attacked bychildren visiting the Zoo.

However, AdelaideZoo has done just that by committing over 2000 squaremetres of Zoo land to the SA community. This initiativewill not only improve the aesthetics of Frome Road butimportantly provide safety, security and pedestrian accessimprovements for Botanic Park and the new Zoo Entrance.The concept for the design of the Entrance Gateway focusesupon creating a natural transition and connection betweenFrome Road and Plane Tree Drive, Botanic Park and FirstCreek, as well as the creation of a unique entry to theAdelaide Zoo. The repositioning of the Entrance precinctwill provide a more coherent relationship with Frome Roadand reduce conflict between pedestrians and motor vehiclesthrough providing an active, visually stimulating space wherevisitors are connected with the wider Botanic Park Precinct.FinalsConservation and research – 1 of 8

These forecourtsare located outside, but wholly within the Zoo’s boundary,enabling queuing areas and public gatherings to occurand providing access for the public to a range of facilitiesand services including a retail shop, café and conservationexhibition centre.The design will see the return of about 2000 square metres ofland formerly located within the Zoo to public use, of whichapproximately half will be publically accessible at all times.The design has two linked public forecourts interwovenbetween both the built and landscaped environments. Thedesign provides linkages to Botanic Park and the RiverTorrens and seeks to remove the distinction between the landowned by DEH, Zoos SA and Adelaide Botanic Gardens. As aresult, people will experience the natural Parkland setting andwill easily move between places. The forecourts will improvepedestrian and cyclist access and allow a better integrationwith the surrounding Parkland networks and transportcorridors. Both passive and active surveillance such aslighting and CCTV will be employed, creating safe and activeplaces for people.This unique proposal by Adelaide Zoo aims to create a publicspace that communicates the aspirations of the Adelaide Zoowith regards to conservation and sustainability. The EntranceGateway forecourts will create a better place for local,interstate and international visitors to enjoy.The planned facelift will end the operational use of theZoo’s heritage-listed front entry. The gate which has hadan important role for almost 130 years will bedecommissioned but will be preserved as an importantrecord of the Zoo’s history.

It also links into the sanctuary at Wolong– Wang Wang and Funi’s birthplace. Over 5000 trees andshrubs have been selected to recreate the forest habitat.The first exhibit encountered is a rocky stream withMandarin Ducks. Around the corner, through a bamboo glade,is the first of two exhibits for our Red Pandas. This specieshas been maintained successfully at the Zoo for many years,but these new enclosures will provide arboreal climbingopportunities not possible in their former traditional exhibit.Subterranean nest boxes with CCTV and air-conditionedholding facilities have all been included in the new design.The first Giant Panda enclosure is set on a rocky hillsidewith rich vegetation including Chinese elms and conifers.The large existing Fig Tree provides a magnificent borrowedview and mature backdrop. This exhibit has been designed forthe female Panda and includes streams, chilled rocksand fallen trees for climbing.The indoor rooms are located to the south of this exhibit,with the holding facilities, cubbing dens, food storage,bamboo coolroom and Keeper facilities tucked in behindand accessible from the Zoo’s perimeter service road.A covered viewing area is also the interpretation node forthe exhibit, providing close encounters with the Giant Pandasin both the indoor and outdoor exhibits. This space can alsobe used for functions.The second outdoor exhibit is also located on a ridgeline,separating the exhibit from the new entrance precinct behind.The exhibit contrasts with the first enclosure witha broad woodland planting theme.

Mark Taylor,from DECS, organised all the IT links and created a “moodle”site for students in participating classes to explore, play andlearn more, before and after the events.The International Zoo Educators Biennial Conference washeld in Adelaide in October 2008. This gathering of 86 zooeducators from 26 countries (on six continents and threeislands) was held in conjunction with the World Associationof Zoos and Aquaria (WAZA) Conference.It was a fantastic opportunity for Zoos SA educators tomeet and share ideas with educators from vastly differentcountries and economic systems, but all with a passionateconcern for conservation and a talent for, and a love of,teaching others.As well as presentations of papers, the group was involved invisiting both Zoos and seeing the way the sites are used toprovide Conservation Education. Associated social activitiesenabled many meaningful friendships to be established.John Gardner, from Zoos SA Education, was the Australasianrepresentative of the IZE for the previous four years.His tireless effort and attention to detail in the conferenceplanning was largely responsible for the conference’ssmooth running and excellent program.In April 2009 the Westpac Envirodome was opened atAdelaide Zoo.

Theclassrooms are exciting areas, with live animals as well asamazing biofacts. The inclusion of toilets, kitchen, a shelteredeating area in the courtyard, and a campsite on the roof havemade day and overnight education programs much saferand better serviced. The tents have also enabled us to offerovernight programs to secondary students for the first time.These programs are proving very popular and awe-inspiringfor the participants.Monarto Education has seen considerable growth in studentnumbers for all programs during the last year. A dedicatedEducation ute has helped with organisation of the manyhands-on conservation activities undertaken by groups. Whatis desperately needed now, though, is a facility to providean indoor Education area as well as office and storage spaceand toilets for student groups. This would enable successfulprogramming in all weather conditions and would expand theprogram offerings available. Options for achieving this arecurrently being investigated.The Education team at Zoos SA is greatly indebted to otherZoo staff, particularly Keepers, and Volunteers for makingmany of our education programs possible. Most staff andVolunteers believe that supporting Conservation Educationon our sites is an effective way of connecting young peopleto the natural world, thus providing a better environmentaloutlook for the future.Assets and Infrastructure - 3 of 5

After 41 years it wasmoved from Minchin House to its new location in theWestpac Envirodome.The Library had its inception in Minchin House, then knownas the Director’s House. The building had been home to threegenerations of Minchins, the family that gave the Zoo itsfirst three directors. In 1966 the Society had approached theEducation Department with an offer to use the Zoo to teachbiology and science classes. The offer was accepted and theAdelaide Zoo Education Service started.The classroom was located in an upstairs room and teachingresources were collected in a large built-in bookcase. Whenthe Education Service moved to the portable unit that hasbeen its home for 41 years, the collection remained in whatbecame known as The Library.The entire library collection was moved to its new premisesin one day, on Tuesday 31 March 2009, thanks to the helpof the Jobs Statewide Volunteers coordinated by Jeff Sharp.The move went so smoothly that the Library was operationalfifteen minutes after the last book was shelved.The new Library was designed by Kanako Nakanishi ofEcopolis Architects and furbished by Fry Library and SchoolSupplies and Dexion Adelaide. Both the design, that allowsfor natural light to flood the room, and furniture weremuch admired by the ALIA Special Libraries SA group whocelebrated Special Librarian Day with a visit on 28 May.It is the goal of the Library to offer a place to read studyand work to all staff and Volunteers.InterpretationThe past year has seen huge leaps forward for theinterpretation department, with many new projectsunderway, the completion of several major projects andan expansion of our team.Westpac EnvirodomeThe Westpac Envirodome Discovery Centre has been a majorsuccess for us, thanks to fantastic support from MartinsIntegrated, Megafun, AV Central, Natureworks and ourVolunteers.

However, as the documentevolved, it became apparent that changes to the Adelaide andMonarto Zoo collections would not be apparent over sucha short period of time, and that it may be more valuable forsite and master planning purposes. Displaying the collectionunder a number of different categories, this report highlightshow the collection is progressing towards desired aspects ofcollection management. This report is provided annually totrack the progress of the animal collection.As the human population grows and impacts at an increasingrate on plant and animal species across the globe, zoosand aquaria are becoming critical for the survival of manyspecies, and an integral part of in situ conservation programsfor many others. While individual animal collections areoften too small to be of much value to long-termconservation, co-operative international and/or regionalex situ breeding programs form large, viable populationsthat can make a difference.Furthermore, if managed correctly, there is the potential toprovide demographic and genetic insurance populations.Adelaide Zoo and Monarto Zoo, as members of theAustralasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks andAquaria (ARAZPA), are committed to co-operatively managingtheir animal collections in order to promote sustainability andto contribute towards species conservation.Following The World Zoo Conservation Strategy, there are twoconsiderations that are important in the process of choosingspecies for ex situ management within Australasian zoos:1. What species will best serve the broad-based conservationgoals of ARAZPA zoos?2. What are the capabilities and strength of ARAZPA zoos inregard to their knowledge, experience and resources?Aside from contributing to the conservation of a species,these ex situ programs also provide animals for publiceducational and/or exhibit opportunities; provide researchcollections from which to gain basic knowledge of animalbiology and husbandry; and provide fundraising material.Botanic Estate - 1 of 2

Changing Zoos and discussed the conservationchallenges of climate change. As an adjunct of this conference wealso hosted the International Zoo Educators conference (IZE) and the2008 Conservation Breeding Specialist Group’s Annual Conference(CBSG). With up to 400 delegates from across the globe, Zoos SA wasable to showcase not only both properties but our conservation work,which achieved international media coverage.Part of Zoos SA’s charter is to work with community organisations,and again this year we worked with a range of community groups,including PARAQUAD SA, with a successful special entry day for 1000of their clients. Up to 2000 members of the Play Group Associationenjoyed a day at Adelaide Zoo. The Special Children’s Christmas Partyattracted 4000 disadvantaged children in December.Other community festivities continued outside the Zoo grounds,with the Royal Adelaide Show, Womadelaide and the launch of theSA Murray River Guide in Rundle Mall where we hosted displays. Wewere involved in the Waterhouse Club Annual Art Exhibition whereChris West was the guest speaker, and we auctioned off one of ourChimpanzees’ paintings, the Fringe Festival Parade and our annualGoing Ape at the Zoo sell-out comedy program.Some of the new marketing campaigns have resulted in not onlyexcellent visitation to both properties but also a lot of media attention.Aiming to highlight the plight of Orang-utans, we invited red headsinto the Zoo for free, which attracted international media coverage.We celebrated the 130-year anniversary of Adelaide Zoo by runninga new series of TV advertisements on Channel 7, which was alsosupported by a web-based competition entitled My Zoo Memories.Our value-added experiences were the focus of a new campaignacross Adelaide Any closer, you’ll be dinner, resulting in excellentbookings for the Behind-the-Scenes programs.At Monarto we partied for the October school holidays to celebratethe lion cubs’ birthday, surprising lots of visitors as the cubs receiveddaily birthday packages.After the Flamingo bashing incident at Adelaide Zoo, we were quickto respond with a promotion to promote animal adoption, whichachieved a new list of Zoo foster parents.The Westpac Envirodome Where Conservation Comes Alive was thefocus of our marketing for Adelaide Zoo from March; the quirkybillboard campaign with the animals climbing off the page resultedin excellent attendances to the Zoo.Monarto Zoo attendances continued to fluctuate from month tomonth with the weather being an issue - the Zoo closed on the veryhot days in January. Our branding campaign Walk on the Wild Sidecommunicated the “walking” and Zu-loop options the Zoo now offers.In the cooler months we took a three-month weather sponsorshipon MIXFM promoting Monarto Zoo - where the weather is always fineto keep the property top of mind.Monarto Zoo was fortunate to have lots of babies born, and ourcampaigns focused on the lion cubs and baby rhino. When the rhinoescape – widely known as Satura’s big day - hit the headlines, wecaptured people’s attention with a Randy Rhino campaign, resultingin a lot of Behind-the-Scenes bookings to meet the rhinos and anincrease in visitation to the Zoo.Communications and Partnerships - 1 of 2
