FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OFFERS CURIOUS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE DIRECTLY WITH SCIENCE. IT OFFERS THEM THE CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY AS WELL. THE ACADEMY IS A PLACE WHERE SCIENCE IS HAPPENING, NOT JUST ON DISPLAY. IT IS SCIENCE IN ACTION, NOT SCIENCE AS HISTORY. STEINHART AQUARIUM OFFERS VISITORS UNIQUE VIEWS OF UNDERWATER LIFE AND PROVIDES INSIGHT INTO THE CRITICAL ROLE THAT AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS PLAY IN LIFE ON EARTH. THE PHILIPPINE CORAL REEF IS THE LARGEST AND DEEPEST INDOOR EXHIBIT OF LIVE CORALS IN THE WORLD. THE EXHIBIT HOUSES A BROAD RANGE OF AQUATIC LIFE FROM MANGROVE TREES AND DELICATE SOFT AND HARD CORALS, TO SHARKS, RAYS, AND MORE THAN 2,000 COLORFUL REEF FISH REPRESENTING NEARLY 150 SPECIES. THERE ARE INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS AND TWO IN-TANK DIVER PRESENTATIONS EVERY DAY. ENGINEERFISH, WHICH HIDE AND ARE SELDOM SEEN IN THE WILD, HAVE BEEN SAFELY BREEDING ON EXHIBIT. 352 FISHES, REPRESENTING 28 SPECIES, WERE ADDED TO THE REEF. THE RAINFORESTS OF THE WORLD EXHIBIT IS CONTAINED WITHIN A GLASS DOME THAT IS 90 FEET IN DIAMETER. THE MULTI-LEVEL EXHIBIT TAKES VISITORS ON A JOURNEY THROUGH FOUR DISTINCT AND DIVERSE RAINFOREST ENVIRONMENTS: THE BORNEO RAINFOREST FLOOR; THE MADAGASCAR RAINFOREST UNDERSTORY; THE COSTA RICA RAINFOREST CANOPY; AND THE AMAZONIAN FLOODED FOREST. DWARF PLATED CHAMELEONS, PYGMY CHAMELEONS, REED FROGS, GLASS FROGS, LOVELY POISON DART FROGS, AND NEON DAY GECKOS WERE ADDED. NINE NEW BIRDS, INCLUDING SEVERAL DIFFERENT TANAGERS WERE ADDED. THE EUPHONIA VIOLACEA CHICKS WERE A SIGNIFICANT HATCHING BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT COMMONLY SUCCESSFULLY CAPTIVE BRED. NINETY-FIVE PLANT SPECIMENS, REPRESENTING 80 SPECIES, WERE ADDED TO THE RAINFORESTS. THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST EXHIBIT CONTAINS A WIDE VARIETY OF NATIVE FISH AND INVERTEBRATES FROM ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS SALT MARSHES AND TURBULENT ROCKY INLETS. THE MAIN 100,000-GALLON TANK FEATURES THE HABITAT OF THE GULF OF THE FARALLONES MARINE SANCTUARY. AN ADDITIONAL 15 SMALLER TANKS FEATURE UNIQUE ANIMALS AND PLANTS FROM CALIFORNIA WATERS. THE ACADEMY HAS A LIVE WEBCAM LINK TO THE FARALLONES: HTTP://WWW.CALACADEMY.ORG/WEBCAMS/FARALLONES. A SCHOOL OF ANCHOVIES, FEATHER STARS, AND LION'S MANE NUDIBRANCHS WERE ADDED TO THIS EXHIBIT. THE SWAMP IS HOME TO AN ALBINO AMERICAN ALLIGATOR, AS WELL AS SEVERAL ALLIGATOR SNAPPING TURTLES, SNAKES, FROGS, FISH, INSECTS, AND SALAMANDERS. THE SWAMP CONTAINS BOTH NATIVE NORTH AMERICAN FISH AND INVASIVE SPECIES TO EDUCATE OUR VISITORS ABOUT HOW THESE INTRODUCED SPECIES ARE OFTEN HIGHLY DETRIMENTAL TO NATIVE HABITATS. THE WATER PLANET EXHIBIT HOUSES SEVERAL DOZEN TANKS, FROM 5 TO 5,000 GALLONS IN SIZE, EXPLORING WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE UNDERWATER. THE AREA WAS DESIGNED TO BE FLEXIBLE, WITH EXHIBITS CHANGING FREQUENTLY TO DISPLAY SPECIES RARELY SEEN BEFORE. THE EXHIBIT ALSO FEATURES A VIDEO ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER ON THE PLANET, ITS LINK TO THE ORIGINS OF LIFE ON EARTH, AND THE NEED TO CONSERVE THIS PRECIOUS RESOURCE. POTBELLY SEAHORSES AND DWARF CUTTLEFISH HAVE BEEN BREEDING ON EXHIBIT. ANIMAL ATTRACTION IS THE FIRST COMPLETELY NEW AQUARIUM EXHIBIT GALLERY SINCE OUR REOPENING IN 2008. ITS FOCUS IS ON THE SEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF ANIMALS - A PROVOCATIVE WAY OF EXPLORING BIODIVERSITY AND EVOLUTION. SCIENTISTS HAVE SET UP 18 HABITATS TO GIVE A VIEW OF STRATEGIES ANIMALS EMPLOY TO PASS ON THEIR GENES. USING IPADS INSTEAD OF LABELS, VISITORS CAN FLIP THROUGH IMAGES, VIDEOS, AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE BIOLOGISTS WHO CARE FOR THE ANIMALS. STEINHART AQUARIUM PARTICIPATES IN TEN AZA SPECIES SURVIVAL PLANS. WE ARE MANAGING NUMEROUS TARGETED INTERNAL BREEDING PROGRAMS INCLUDING CUTTLEFISH, SEAHORSES, THE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED GOLDEN MANTILLA FROGS AND 2 SPECIES OF FRESHWATER FISHES THAT ARE EXTINCT IN THE WILD. 2,842 SPECIMENS (125 SPECIES) TOTAL WERE ADDED TO AQUARIUM EXHIBITS. IN OUR CAPTIVE BREEDING PROGRAM, THERE WERE 2,594 SPECIMENS, 36 SPECIES. THERE WERE 22 PRESENTATIONS BY AQUARIUM STAFF, 6 COLLECTING TRIPS, AND NEARLY 20 ARTICLES, PAPERS, OR BOOKS PUBLISHED. MORRISON PLANETARIUM IS THE LARGEST ALL-DIGITAL DOME IN THE WORLD WITH A 75-FOOT DIAMETER SCREEN TILTED AT A 30-DEGREE ANGLE. THE PLANETARIUM RELIES ON SCIENTIFIC DATA TO DEPICT CURRENT DISCOVERIES WITH UNPRECEDENTED ACCURACY. THERE ARE SEVERAL LIVE TOURS OF THE UNIVERSE, MEMBER CONSTELLATION SHOWS, NIGHTLIFE PROGRAMMING, AND SCHOOL SHOWS FOR 5TH-8TH GRADES. THE 30-MINUTE SHOW, "LIFE: A COSMIC STORY" CONTINUED THROUGH MAY 2012. AT THE FULLDOME FESTIVAL, THIS SHOW WAS HONORED FOR BEST INTEGRATION OF SCIENTIFIC DATA INTO FULLDOME VISUALIZATION AND BEST IN NARRATION. THIS SHOW ALSO WON THE 2011 BEST FULLDOME PROGRAM AT THE JACKSON HOLE WILDLIFE FILM FESTIVAL. OUR NEW SHOW, "EARTHQUAKE: EVIDENCE OF A RESTLESS PLANET", DEBUTED IN MAY 2012. VISITORS CAN JOURNEY THROUGH OUR PLANET'S GEOLOGIC HISTORY TO WITNESS THE PROCESSES THAT SHAPE OUR LANDSCAPE. NARRATED BY BENJAMIN BRATT, THE JOURNEY BEGINS IN 1906 WITH AN ALL-DIGITAL RECREATION OF THE 7.9-MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE THAT ROCKED SAN FRANCISCO, AND THEN DIVES INTO THE EARTH'S INTERIOR TO SEE HOW IT HAPPENED. VISITORS THEN BEGIN A HIGH-SPEED TOUR THROUGH THE PAST 200 MILLION YEARS, WITNESSING THE FORMATION OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND VISITING THE CRADLE OF HUMANITY IN AFRICA'S GREAT RIFT VALLEY, ALONG WITH SITES OF HISTORIC EARTHQUAKES IN INDIA, CHINA, AND JAPAN. NIGHTLIFE PRESENTED THE KEPLER PROJECT IN NOVEMBER 2011. THE STORY OF THE MYSTICAL 17TH-CENTURY ASTRONOMER JOHANNES KEPLER WAS TOLD WITH SPECTACULAR VISUALS DEVELOPED BY THE MORRISON PLANETARIUM VISUALIZATION STUDIO, DEEPLY MOVING MUSIC BY CELLIST ZOE KEATING, AND SOUND DESIGN BY MULTIPLE EMMY AWARD WINNER CHRISTOPHER HEDGE. HOHFELD HALL PRESENTATIONS INCLUDED ALIEN WORLDS, ASTEROIDS, AND SCIENCE OF THE SUN: SOLAR ECLIPSES. SPECIAL EVENTS INCLUDED ASTRONOMY DAY ON APRIL 28TH, AND EXCURSIONS TO HUME OBSERVATORY. WEATHER ALLOWED IMPROMPTU GATHERINGS FOR THE PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OBSERVED MAY 20TH, AND THE TRANSIT OF VENUS ON JUNE 5TH WITH STAFF NARRATION AND LIVE FEEDS TO THE SCIENCE IN ACTION EXHIBIT. THE FORUM 3D THEATER SHOWED GEOLOGY OF OTHER WORLDS IN JUNE 2012 WITH AN ATTENDANCE OF 5,015. THERE WERE EIGHT PLANETARIUM LECTURES IN THE ACADEMY'S BENJAMIN DEAN SERIES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONT.)		THE KIMBALL NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM INCLUDES CHANGEABLE, MODULAR EXHIBITS THAT CAN BE UPDATED TO REFLECT THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS, INTEGRATE LIVE ANIMALS AND INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY, AND FOCUS ON PEOPLE-FACILITATED INTERPRETATION. AFRICAN HALL HAS 21 RECREATED AFRICAN DIORAMAS IN GEOGRAPHICAL ORDER FROM THE NORTHERN COUNTRIES TO THE SOUTHERN CAPE. A HUMAN EVOLUTION PANEL TRACES THE ORIGIN OF HOMO SAPIENS IN AFRICA. FIVE OF THE DIORAMAS FEATURE LIVE ANIMALS: CHAMELEONS, TORTOISES, ENDANGERED CICHLIDS FROM LAKE MALAWI, A MONITOR LIZARD, AND A BOISTEROUS COLONY OF AFRICAN PENGUINS. A TERMITE PEEK-IN VIDEO WAS ADDED TO THE TERMITE MOUND. THE JACKSON'S CHAMELEONS HAVE BEEN BREEDING ON EXHIBIT. THE PENGUINS ARE PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL CAPTIVE-BREEDING PROGRAM, CALLED THE SPECIES SURVIVAL PLAN. SCIENCE IN ACTION ENCOURAGES VISITORS TO GO BEYOND THE HEADLINES AND GAIN IN-DEPTH INFORMATION ABOUT RECENT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES AROUND THE WORLD. LIVE TALKS BY ACADEMY SCIENTISTS AND AUDIO-VISUAL DISPLAYS PROVIDE A RELIABLE SOURCE OF TIMELY AND RELEVANT NEWS ABOUT THE NATURAL WORLD. THE WEBSITE WWW.CALACADEMY.ORG/SCIENCETODAY IS PRODUCED BY ACADEMY STAFF. IT IS A DAILY NEWS CHANNEL SITE THAT EXTENDS THE EXHIBIT, PUBLISHING BOTH ORIGINAL CONTENT AND AGGREGATED CONTENT THAT FALLS INTO THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: EARTH, LIFE, SPACE, SUSTAINABILITY, AND TECHNOLOGY. SCIENCE TODAY TAPS INTO NUMEROUS SELF-SUSTAINING NEWS FEEDS, COMMUNITY FEEDS, AND LEADING SCIENCE BLOGS. MORE THAN 30 VIDEOS AND 225 ARTICLES WERE PRODUCED. THERE WERE MORE THAN 175,000 VISITS TO SCIENCE TODAY. THE LIVING ROOF CREATES A 2.5-ACRE HABITAT FOR NATIVE BIRDS, BUTTERFLIES, AND OTHER BENEFICIAL INSECTS. PART OF THE ACADEMY'S GREEN BUILDING STRATEGY, THE ROOF ALLOWS VISITORS TO VIEW THE WILDFLOWERS. AN INTERACTIVE STATION PROVIDES THE SOUNDS OF NATIVE BIRDS. ISLANDS OF EVOLUTION ALLOWS VISITORS TO SEE THE REMOTE ISLANDS OF MADAGASCAR AND THE GALAPAGOS THROUGH THE EYES OF ACADEMY SCIENTISTS AND DISCOVER WHY ISLANDS FUNCTION AS LABORATORIES FOR EVOLUTION. A FARALLON ISLANDS DISPLAY WAS ADDED TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE EXHIBIT. OVER 40 YEARS OF RESEARCH AT THE ISLANDS PROVIDES VITAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE OCEAN ENVIRONMENT. THIS DISPLAY WAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GULF OF THE FARALLONES NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY, POINT REYES BIRD OBSERVATORY, AND U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE. "EARTHQUAKE: LIFE ON A DYNAMIC PLANET" IS A NEW EXHIBIT THAT OPENED IN MAY 2012. VISITORS CAN WALK THROUGH A 25' SECTION OF THE EARTH, AND SEE BABY OSTRICHES, PLANTS, FOSSILS, ANIMAL SPECIMENS AND OTHER EVIDENCE OF HOW PLATE TECTONICS HAS HELPED SHAPE LIFE ON OUR PLANET. A MINIDOME THEATER HAS A SHORT SHOW ON PLATE TECTONICS AND EARTHQUAKES. THERE IS AN EARTHQUAKE SIMULATOR THAT RECREATES THE 1989 AND 1906 EARTHQUAKES IN A VICTORIAN LIVING ROOM. VISITORS CAN LEARN HOW TO BECOME BETTER PREPARED FOR AN EARTHQUAKE. TIS THE SEASON FOR SCIENCE, THE ACADEMY'S ANNUAL HOLIDAY EXHIBIT, FEATURED A SPICE FOREST EXPLAINING THE BOTANICAL ORIGINS OF HOLIDAY SPICES, BIRDS OF THE SEASON EXPLAINING THE CONTEXT OF THE SONG "TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS", INDOOR SNOW FLURRIES, A SNOWMAN THEATER HIGHLIGHTING THE SCIENCE OF SNOW, AND LIVE REINDEER IN THE WEST GARDEN. EVOLVING TRADITIONS: SOUTHWEST NATIVE POTTERY & SILVER IN THE THIRD-FLOOR GALLERY DRAWS FROM THE ACADEMY'S ANTHROPOLOGY COLLECTION OF POTTERY AND JEWELRY CREATED BY MEMBERS OF THE NAVAJO, HOPI, AND ZUNI TRIBES AND BY THE RIO GRANDE PUEBLOS. THE RACE AGAINST TIME DISPLAY FEATURED RESEARCH SPECIMENS AND HIGHLIGHTED RECENT ACADEMY EXPEDITIONS TO BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS AROUND THE WORLD, SUCH AS THE PHILIPPINES, GULF OF GUINEA, AND MADAGASCAR. IT CONNECTS ACADEMY SCIENTISTS AND ACADEMY SPECIMEN COLLECTIONS WITH IMPORTANT GLOBAL ISSUES SUCH AS DISCOVERING SPECIES, PARTICIPATING IN ESTABLISHING PROTECTED AREAS, RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT HABITAT LOSS AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS. SNAKES & LIZARDS: THE SUMMER OF SLITHER CONTINUED THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2011. THE EXHIBIT EXPLORED SQUAMATE EVOLUTION - ADAPTATIONS INCLUDING PROJECTILE TONGUES, DEADLY VENOM, REMARKABLE CAMOUFLAGE, AND SURPRISING MODES OF LOCOMOTION, PREDATION, AND MORE.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B	RESEARCH ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1853, THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES HAS BEEN MOTIVATED BY THE DESIRE TO UNDERSTAND NATURE, ITS PROCESSES, AND THE IMPACT OF HUMANS ON NATURAL SYSTEMS. FOR 160 YEARS, THE ACADEMY HAS TRAVELLED THE GLOBE, COLLECTED ALL MANNER OF ROCKS AND ORGANISMS, DOCUMENTED EARTH'S THREATENED BIODIVERSITY, SHARED THEIR DISCOVERIES, AND PROVIDED DATA TO GUIDE CONSERVATION DECISIONS THAT WILL SHAPE OUR LIVES AND THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET AS WE ADDRESS A CHANGING CLIMATE AND OTHER ECOLOGICAL CHALLENGES. THE AFAR REGION OF ETHIOPIA IS THE SITE FOR FIELD WORK BY AN INTERNATIONAL TEAM OF SCIENTISTS LED BY ACADEMY PALEOANTHROPOLOGIST ZERAY ALEMSEGED. THE SITE BOASTS THICK SEDIMENTARY DEPOSITS THAT SPAN THE PERFECT TIMEFRAME FOR FINDING HUMAN ANCESTORS: ABOUT 4 MILLION TO 100,000 YEARS AGO. DURING THE PAST YEAR, ALEMSEGED WORKED WITH THE HISTORY CHANNEL ON A PROGRAM CALLED MANKIND THAT INVESTIGATES MAJOR EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF HOMO SAPIENS. THE GULF OF GUINEA EXPEDITIONS CENTER ON THE REPUBLIC OF SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE. THESE ISLANDS RIVAL THE GALAPAGOS IN THE CONCENTRATION OF BIRDS AND OTHER SPECIES FOUND NOWHERE ELSE. ROBERT DREWES, CURATOR OF AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES, LED THIS LATEST TRIP. HE WAS JOINED BY TOM DANIELS, CURATOR OF BOTANY, AND RICH MOOI, CURATOR OF ECHINODERMS, AND ROBERTA AYRES, EDUCATOR. THE SCIENTISTS WANTED TO RECORD AS MUCH OF THE ISLANDS' BIODIVERSITY AS POSSIBLE, BUT THEY ALSO BROUGHT COLORFUL POSTERS TO HAND OUT TO SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. THE POSTERS CARRIED SLOGANS OF PROTECTION TO REMIND ISLAND RESIDENTS OF THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES. PAPUA NEW GUINEA WAS THE SITE FOR A FALL EXPEDITION LED BY JACK DUMBACHER, CURATOR OR ORNITHOLOGY AND MAMMALOGY. HE WENT TO SURVEY ISLAND BIRDS WITH THE GOALS OF DOCUMENTING THE AVIAN DIVERSITY AND DISCOVERING AND DOCUMENTING THE DISEASES THAT THE BIRDS ARE CARRYING. THE TRIP WAS FEATURED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES' SCIENTIST AT WORK BLOG. ALSO, A COMPACT BGAN SATELLITE TERMINAL GAVE DUMBACHER THE ABILITY TO SKYPE WITH A PUBLIC PROGRAMS PRESENTER AT THE ACADEMY'S SCIENCE IN ACTION EXHIBIT; MORE THAN 100 VISITORS TOOK PART IN THIS PROGRAM. THE 2011 PHILIPPINES EXPEDITION ADDED MANY NEW SPECIES TO THE RECORD OF LIFE ON EARTH. SEVERAL WERE HIGHLIGHTED LAST YEAR. ONE THAT MADE TIME MAGAZINE'S TOP 10 OF EVERYTHING IN 2011 WAS THE DISCOVERY OF THREE NEW SPECIES OF SHELL-LESS LOBSTERS RELATIVES. A DOCUMENTARY OF THE EXPEDITION WAS AIRED ON ABC IN OCTOBER AND CAN BE VIEWED HERE: HTTP://ABCLOCAL.GO.COM/KGO/VIDEO?ID=8404396 MADAGASCAR IS HOME TO AN ASTONISHINGLY UNIQUE ARRAY OF PLANT AND ANIMALS; THIS PRECIOUS DIVERSITY IS THREATENED BY SEVERE HABITAT LOSS. ACADEMY ENTOMOLOGIST BRIAN FISHER AND HIS TEAM ARE IN A RACE AGAINST TIME TO STUDY AND PROTECT THIS BIOLOGICAL HOTSPOT. THE MADAGASCAR BIODIVERSITY CENTER HAS A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON EDUCATING STUDENTS FROM MADAGASCAR IN THE FIELDS OF SYSTEMATICS, ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION - EMPOWERING LOCAL STUDENTS TO PROTECT THEIR COUNTRY'S RICH BIOLOGICAL HERITAGE. ANTS IN 3D IS THE ONGOING PROJECT TO IMAGE EVERY KNOWN SPECIES OF ANT. IN THE U.S., BRIAN FISHER'S TEAM HAS CAPTURED SNAPSHOTS OF 8,000 ANT SPECIES. IN MAY, THE TEAM BEGAN MUSEUM VISITS IN LONDON TO PHOTOGRAPH ALL OF THE ANT SPECIES IN THEIR COLLECTIONS TO ADD TO WWW.ANTWEB.ORG. BURUNDI WAS THE SITE OF A BIODIVERSITY SURVEY LED BY DAVID BLACKBURN, ACADEMY HERPETOLOGIST, WHICH REDISCOVERED A "LOST" AFRICAN SPECIES: THE BURURI LONG-FINGERED FROG. THE SPECIES HAD NOT BEEN DOCUMENTED SINCE 1949. THE FROG IS GRAYISH BLUE AND COVERED IN BLACK SPLOTCHES. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW BLUISH FROGS IN AFRICA.
