Message from the
Board President
board president
“Thank you for your loyalty and continued support
of our Sacramento Zoo. I promise that we, the
Trustees, will continue to do our best to carry on
the trust you have given us.”
Greetings to all the members of our Zoo family! I have just completed my first year as
President of the Board of Trustees. You may have noticed the name change from Board
of Directors to Board of Trustees. I asked for this change because it places an important
emphasis on who we are: trustees who are entrusted with the care and well-being of
Board President James Naify
the animal population, dedicated staff, and the beautiful grounds which make up the
Sacramento Zoo.
You’ve probably heard about the many successes of the Zoo in 2013, including record

attendance, the addition of many engaging zoo babies, and the progress of fundraising
for the new Small Wonders of Africa habitat. In 2014, we look forward to the completion
of this important project, as well as a number of additional changes to the Zoo – all the
while keeping the small, family-friendly feeling that we all cherish.
One of the great successes of
2013 has been the Quarters for
Conservation program. It has
allowed us to contribute over
$100,000 to habitat conservation
in a number of African and Asian
locales. The message here is simple
and clear: Habitat Conservation =
Species Preservation. While the
tragedies of hunting and poaching
are the highly visible causes for loss
of rare and endangered species, by
far the greater danger is habitat loss
through agricultural expansion and
deforestation. The extinction of even
a single species should not be tolerated, and that loss can never be reversed.
Thank you for your loyalty and continued support of our Sacramento Zoo. I promise that
we, the Trustees, will continue to do our best to carry on the trust you have given us.

“It is our hope that each one makes a connection
with the animals and leaves knowing we are doing
our part to make sure the Sacramento Zoo stays a
viable community asset for generations to come.”
Although not obvious to the casual visitor at the Sacramento Zoo, we achieved a
significant milestone in 2013 with the continuation of our accreditation from the
Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).
We are extremely proud that the Sacramento Zoo has been accredited since
Mary Healy and a tall friend
1975! AZA accreditation ensures that the animals you visit receive excellent care
every day, and that the organization has met mandatory, rigorous, professional
standards for animal welfare and management, veterinary care, behavioral
enrichment, nutrition and staff training.
Rest assured, however, that it is not a rubber stamp process to continue to
meet and pass the meticulous standards of accreditation. The 2013 application
process was a year in preparation with 230 questions on 26 double-sided pages
and included 186 attached documents covering policies and procedures at the
3930 West Land Park Drive
Sacramento, CA 95822

Sacramento Zoo. Three visiting inspectors took three days to examine every
aspect of operations including animal care, visitor services, conservation efforts,
educational programming, finances and safety.
The AZA accreditation is an objective measure of our long term commitment to
the animals, visitors and staff. Everyone in the Sacramento region should share in
our pride at this achievement as it is a true measure of the value placed on our

living world by the community in supporting an accredited Zoo.
I continue to be amazed by the
number of people who come to
the Zoo for education, recreation
and events each year. In 2013,
we broke a 23-year record for
attendance with over 540,000
visitors coming to our 14-acre Zoo.
It is our hope that each one makes
a connection with the animals and
leaves knowing we are doing our
part to make sure the Sacramento
Zoo stays a viable community
asset for generations to come.

The Quarters for Conservation program and
its success has been a huge help in reaching
$100,000 of giving during 2013. This program is
a great example of the Sacramento community
working hand in hand with the Zoo to make a
global impact.
The 2013 recipients that received funding from
the Quarters for Conservation program were the
local Riparian Brush Rabbit Recovery program,
the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary project and the
Masai Giraffe Conservation program. Each of
these species plays an important part in their
local ecosystem and is facing trouble in their
natural habitat. Three new projects will receive

Leave a legacy
that will make a
difference in
the future of the
Sacramento Zoo.
The Wildlife Heritage Guild is a group of
special individuals who have remembered
the Sacramento Zoological Society in their
estate plans. Our nonprofit depends on the
generosity of private contributions from
those who value the Sacramento Zoo and its
role in their lives and the community.
For more information on how you can
be part of your Zoo’s future, call the
Development Department at 916-808-3713.
