Annual Report 2015
For all of us as Audubon Nature
Institute members, supporters
and employees, 2015 was a
landmark year, both beginning
and ending with the kind of
inspirational endangered
species stories we love.
We began in January with the
release of 28 sea turtles into
the warm and welcoming
waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
These cold-stunned turtles were
rehabilitated here at Audubon
thanks to your support of
Audubon’s rescue and
rehabilitation initiatives.

Whether they came to Audubon
attractions or Audubon came to
them via our popular outreach
vehicles (ZOOmobile, Wetlands
Express, Bugmobile and AquaVan),
thousands of children, students
and families took part in Audubon

A hyacinth macaw hatched at Audubon Zoo on

Audubon animal experts traveled
the world for conservation causes,
including managing endangered
iguanas in Jamacia and
protecting endangered Pacific
birds on the Marianas Islands.
Today’s conservation is dynamic,
bursting with ideas splashed
throughout the world via social
media platforms, games and mobile
phone apps. Audubon Nature

Annual Report 2015
There’s just something about our
local culture—it’s unlike any you’ll
find anywhere else in the world.
And, it has quite a bit to do with
our inherent natural wonders,
our fascinating wildlife, and our
incredible seafood.
Audubon Nature Institute made
conservation fun and tasty with Gulf
United for Lasting Fisheries (G.U.L.F.).
A new app helps you find the
freshest, most sustainable seafood to
keep our Gulf fisheries thriving.
Restaurant partners multiplied in
2015 as G.U.L.F. recruited more
New Orleans eateries to serve and
support sustainable seafood, while
an intimate dinner at the Aquarium
showcased G.U.L.F. partner chefs
and featured the best sustainable
seafood the Gulf of Mexico has
to offer. These dinners are set to
continue and expand in 2016.

Audubon Zoo veterinary staff
released a brown pelican into
the wild after treating the bird for
exposure to an oily substance it
encountered in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Zoo’s orangutans celebrated
Orangutan Caring Week in their
new, expanded exhibit featuring
a waterfall and a 45-foot climbing
pole to take in the world.
Flippers flapping, an endangered
Kemp’s ridley sea turtle swam back
into the sea near Grand Isle after
being rehabilitated by Audubon

Six endangered Mississippi sandhill
cranes hatched at Audubon Nature
Institute and were released at the
Mississippi Sandhill Crane National
Wildlife Refuge in Gautier, MS.

“When I see kids get excited about animals, it is a moment
of deep satisfaction. If they’re excited, that means there’s a

Annual Report 2015
“The fun times, wonderful people, and the love and care we
are shown is something a person with the misfortune of health
problems longs for and it is so appreciated.”
Mandie Miller, participant in Red Carpet Day event
for teen cancer survivors at the Aquarium
COMMUNITY
14
The Audubon family of donors and
supporters moves our community
forward. This community is made
of partnerships and programs,
but it also encompasses picnics
in Audubon Park or festivals at
Woldenberg Riverfront Park. Our
community is up-close penguin
encounters for youngsters with
special challenges and a day just for
Mom with Irma Thomas at the Zoo.
Community at Audubon means
relaxing concerts, challenging
runs, and volunteering. It means
partying with a purpose at the
elegant Whitney Zoo-To-Do and
family-oriented Zoo-To-Do for Kids
presented by Tulane Pediatrics—or
strolling in the evening breeze along
the riverfront enjoying Scales & Ales
and Toast for the Coast.
Community includes volunteer
experiences for youngsters that
could easily lead to an entire lifetime
of service volunteering at Audubon
or elsewhere in the community.
These events and initiatives weave
the fabric of our unique family,
speaking to the essence of who
we are, and how we will shape our
future. It’s all thanks to you.

NOTABLE NEWS

Where were you on Labor Day in
1990? If you were like thousands of
others, you were at the opening
of Audubon Aquarium of the
Americas! Celebrating 25 years of
the Aquarium in 2015 reconnected
Audubon with old friends and
celebrated new partnerships. But
that’s not all we did in 2015!
You joined us as we opened Entergy
Giant Screen Theater, planted
trees at Audubon and Woldenberg
Riverfront Parks, opened Bambu
Village Asian Discovery Trail, Frogs!,
Gator Run, Kamba Kourse and the
new orangutan exhibit at the Zoo,
debuted the Animal Planet L!VE
Tarantula Cam and invited guests
on insect-hunting adventures with
our entomologists at Audubon
Wilderness Park.
We also expanded offerings at
Audubon Park Clubhouse Café and
hosted the Weeki Wachee Mermaids
at the Aquarium.

Annual Report 2015
“Audubon Nature Institute has a vital role to play in making
sure that parents know how to expose their children to a
globalized scientific literacy that is not available at almost any
school anymore. And that can only happen by taking a small
child to the Zoo and letting them be fascinated by the flamingos.”
George Trumbull, Trumbull Family Foundation
OUR FUTURE
18
Thanks to your partnership, there
will be a lot of activity at Audubon
attractions and facilities continuing
through the coming years. Together,
we’ll set the stage for decades of
growth and progress for our families,
our visitors, our cherished wildlife
and the incomparable natural
wonders that make our home so
special. We’re delighted you are
with us on this journey, as we work
to accomplish great things for our
children and the planet’s wildlife.

“What I love most
about working at
Audubon is the
connection to the
community. Audubon is
the source of powerful
memories for many
people, and I’m grateful
when they are shared
with me.”
Maria Kohls,
Intern and
Volunteer Supervisor

Annual Report 2015
Audubon Nature Institute is grateful to all donors, members and visitors
who support our vision of creating an outstanding family of museums
and parks dedicated to nature. Audubon receives virtually no city, state
or federal funding for operations, relying instead on front gate admission,
concessions and gift shop sales, facility rentals and the generous gifts
from friends who help provide world-class adventures to more than
2 million visitors each year.
