Throughout its history, Philadelphia Zoo has provided exceptional care for animals while educating and inspiring guests and participating in in worldwide conservation efforts. Known for continued innovation, commitment to wildlife, and achieving longevity records, Philadelphia Zoo is a zoo of many firsts. Ranging from having the first orangutan and chimpanzee born in the U.S. in the 1920s to the first giant river otter born in the U.S. in 2004 to the creation of Zoo360 a first-in-the-world animal travel and exploration system developed in 2011 and now implemented in more than 20 zoos across the globe, Philadelphia Zoo, continues to set standards across the industry. Philadelphia Zoo is part of a greater mission to create national zoo conservation and breeding programs for endangered species. The Zoo works in cooperation with other accredited zoos in North America and worldwide via the Species Survival Plan (SSP), a cooperative effort used to manage and breed endangered and other animal species to ensure healthy, self-sustaining genetically diverse animal populations. These breeding programs serve as safety nets for species that are threatened with extinction in the wild. Philadelphia Zoo continues to reach new heights in all areas of its mission, offering state-of-the-art animal exhibits and health-care facilities, award-winning education and conservation programs, exceptional guest services, scientific accomplishments making this historically significant venue one of the most renowned zoos in the world. 2234935 145374 194441 Education and Conservation Programming: Driven by a passion for promoting action that supports wildlife conservation, the Zoo offers a broad portfolio of dynamic educational programs. As the region's largest living classroom, the Zoo offers hands-on, curriculum-connected and mission-focused animal experiences to over 150,000 schoolchildren each year. Through these programs, the Zoo helps to grow the next generation of environmental stewards, giving young people the opportunity to share their new wildlife and conservation knowledge with their communities. ANIMALS IN THE CLASSROOM Building empathy for animals is critical to the Zoos mission and firsthand experiences encourage this empathy, while supporting the childs development and positive social behavior. It is this philosophy, infused with an environmental-based learning approach, that is used to create our successful Animals in the Classroom program. This Program offers a unique opportunity for students to care for tadpoles in their classroom while fostering empathy and responsibility for wildlife. Why Tadpoles? Unlike cats, dogs, or rabbits, tadpoles are not the cuddliest animals, so falling in love with them may not be easy, but exposing children to an animal that goes through physical changes as they grow, similar to kids, is a great way of connecting. This Program enables students to be involved in the animals life process, from rescuing eggs or newly hatched larvae, to caring for them in school, and then releasing them back into the wild, students learn about and are involved in their full circle life process. With this hands-on approach, students can develop a deep empathy for all animals leading to them to take action and becoming stewards of the planet. FIELD TRIPS Not only are field trips fun, they immerse students in the world's wildlife, building empathy and encouraging them to make small changes in their everyday life that can have an impact on animals. A field trip to the Zoo is an experience that will last a lifetime. COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM (CAP) In partnership with individual, corporate, and foundation donors throughout our region, the Zoo provides free visits and engaging learning opportunities to more than 65,000 students from Title I schools annually. By committing to at least 5% of the annual attendance, the Zoo has made free Zoo visits possible for hundreds of thousands of students from around the region. THE UNLESS CONTEST The Albert M. Greenfield UNLESS Contest challenges students from K through 12 to develop creative solutions to problems that impact wildlife. Students are presented with a challenge to address, and they work to obtain a solution through advocacy. Since the start of UNLESS thousands of schoolchildren from more than 200 schools in the region have participated reaching 2 to 4 million people with their conservation messages each year. ZOOCREW-ZOO CHAMPIONS FOR RESTORING ENDANGERED WILDLIFE A multi-year youth mentoring and engagement program, ZooCREW creates conservation-minded, civically engaged citizens. Area teens with a diverse array of backgrounds and experiences learn to care for animals, educate Zoo guests, and equip themselves with tools to create long-term change in the world. ZooCREW is a wonderful platform for educational success, with a 100% high school graduation rate and a 96% college matriculation rate. Through a series of focused efforts, the Zoo has defined its role as a conservation organization working to significantly deepen positive impact on wildlife and the environment. The greatest opportunity to achieve conservation impact is through partnering with the millions of day-to-day guests that visit onsite or online; the thousands of schoolchildren inspired each year through visits and outreach; and by leveraging access to a diverse group of local and international stakeholders who share commitment to making the world a better place for people and wildlife. The Zoo has adopted an action-oriented vision for our conservation and education efforts, dedicating resources to implementing programming to engage our onsite audiences and our community in direct conservation action. Our program is designed around a Theory of Change. Our Change Framework leverages the empathetic connection guests make with animals at the Zoo and by sharing tools that empower everyone to take action in their daily lives, people who connect with the Zoo will make a world of difference by becoming conservation-minded, civically engaged advocates for wildlife and habitat. Philadelphia Zoo works to engage visitors about the positive correlation between reducing carbon dioxide emissions and conserving the planets wildlife population. Energy use and forest loss are the leading global sources of carbon emissions which are already changing the climate and threatening the survival of many endangered species. Migratory patterns of birds and pollinators like butterflies and bees are disrupted, rainfall changes are impacting the moist conditions necessary for species like frogs to breed, rising ocean temperatures are jeopardizing entire food chains and continued loss of forest could lead to orangutan extinction by 2050. The Zoo is committed to reducing the impacts of a changing climate on wildlife here and around the world. Everyday choices around saving electricity, conserving water, and recycling, along with advocating for the protection of natural resources like forests, can help wildlife and the environment. Every connection with the Zoo is an opportunity for guests to connect with wildlife and be inspired to conservation action. Zoo staff and volunteers engage in conservation activities in the following areas: Endangered Species Breeding Programs: National and international science-based cooperative zoo breeding programs, some led by Philadelphia Zoo staff, serve as a safety net for species threatened with extinction in the wild. Educational Programming: Zoo staff deploys a broad range of educational programs and interpretation to promote discovery, understanding, and stewardship of the natural world. International Conservation: The Zoo supports, develops, and conducts projects that protect wildlife and wild places. International Conservation: The Zoo supports, develops, and conducts projects that protect wildlife and wild places. Local Conservation: Staff work with organizations and agencies to exchange expertise and resources, implement conservation projects, provide training and field experience, and communicate information to the public through education programs and public relations activities. Green Practices: The Zoo is increasingly focused on reducing its environmental footprint through sustainable operating practices. KidZooU was designed to incorporate 'green' elements such as geothermal wells for heating and cooling, daylighting, and roof rainwater collection for use as gray water to flush the public toilets. Rain gardens reduce water runoff into storm drains. Stables for domestic livestock feature green roofs and are built with recovered wood. Moving forward each new or refurbished exhibit will incorporate green elements in its building and maintenance and utilize sustainable operating practices. 0 0 0 31242968 true true false true false

RECONCILIATION OF NET ASSETS FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9: INTEREST RATE SWAP ADJUSTMENT ($880,075) CHANGES IN BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS ($1,177,306) ------------ total to part xi, line 9 ($2,057,381) Other Program Services FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D Philadelphia Zoo has an important relationship with its surrounding community. This relationship was enhanced by completion of The Centennial District Intermodal Transportation Center in 2013. This project included a four-story, 683-space parking lot located on 35th & Girard Avenue, as well as enhancements such as lighting, streetscape, sustainable landscaping, traffic signals and signage that improved traffic flow at the I-76 off-ramps, pedestrian safety, and facilitated access to multiple parking lots. Mass transit improvements also include signaled crosswalks and bus pull-offs at existing SEPTA stops. Philadelphia Zoo continues to advocate for a passenger train stop, which would recreate a stop that serviced the Zoo until the 1940s. In addition to being a greener way to travel, access to a Zoo train would increase the number of visitors to the Zoo therefore increasing economic impact. It would also provide access to travel to the suburbs and other locations for work and or recreation for those residing in the community.
