The tiger cubs continued to be a popular sight throughout the year, providing an educational opportunity for children and adults of all ages. Education programs foster deep connections to the natural world. Zoo educators inspire students and visitors by creating experiences that spark passion for wildlife. umber of Programs Program Name N Number of People Attended 7 Tea & Tours 242 8 Family Overnight Safaris 484 40 Summer Camp Classes 642 37 Hip Habitat-Cool Critters 1,234 53 Zoo Preview 3,074 65 Docent Led Tours 2,629 119 ZooMobile 3,405 612 Stage Shows 51,450 1,309 Wildlife Wagon 55,000 1,349 School & Group Fieldtrips 72,563 Our 1 ½-year-old brother and sister lion pair arrived in the spring. It was a treat for the Sacramento community to have the opportunity to watch these siblings grow. The male arrived with only a ruff of fur around the neck and the top of his head, which fills out as he matures. Summer Camp classes offer pre-K through 8th grade students lessons about backyard habitats, powerful predators, African adventures and rockin’ reptiles through crafts, games, handson projects, and of course, the animals. The Black and white ruffed lemurs gave birth to their second set of offspring. The young male quickly adapted to his large family. His yearling brothers and sister taught him the ropes, literally. These lemurs are known for hanging upside down by their feet from treetops or rope. 3 round of applause Gifts of $100,000 and Above Estate of Marjorie K.

Stark 5 2007 Highlights Zoo volunteers scooped nearly 1,000 gallons of 14 different flavors of ice cream into 9,000 cups at our annual Ice Cream Safari fundraiser for over 3,000 guests. In 2007, the Sacramento Zoological Society’s Conservation Committee participated in sixteen different projects and doubled its yearly commitment with a total of $9,076 donated to conservation organizations. One of the Zoological Society’s largest conservation efforts for the past three years focuses on protecting Grevy’s zebras in Kenya. The Grevy’s Zebra Trust raises awareness of conservation issues in local Kenyan communities, monitors animal populations, coordinates productive partnerships with local organizations, and secures resources for Grevy’s zebra through holistic management of community rangeland. Together, 1,363 volunteers donated 29,469 hours of valuable time and talent maintaining area gardens, educating visitors, serving on the Board of Directors and helping at Zoo events. Conservation Projects in 2007 Association of Zoos and Aquarium Conservation Endowment Fund Captive Breeding Specialist Group (CBSG) CBSG Amphibian Ark Heifer International Hornbill Nest Sponsorships in Thailand Ibis Support International Bird Rescue Research Center International Snow Leopard Trust Rainforest Conservation Parking Meter Madagascar Fauna Group Northern Rangelands Endangered Species Project – Grevy’s zebra Pan African Association of Zoos and Aquaria Sahara Conservation Fund Zoo Conservation Outreach Group – Jaguar Field Camera Traps Riparian Brush Rabbit Recovery Program – providing health care for rabbits in the central valley recovery program Giant Garter Snake Recovery Program – implanting radio transmitters for U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologists Other global projects include funding hornbill nest boxes in Thailand, and purchasing a jaguar camera trap for research at the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize. 6 A local conservation success involves 78 White-faced ibis chicks and 100 eggs transported to the International Bird Rescue Research Center, from a field in Yolo County which was about to be plowed under.
