DescAnimal Care and Research2013 was a year with many highlights and growth opportunities.Billy: After years of careful planning, Denver Zoo imported a 5-year-old Asian elephant named Billy from Antwerpen Zoo in Belgium. Billy was the first male Asian elephant imported to North America in more than 30 years. Staff was sent to Belgium and began working with Billy weeks before the import, to familiarize themselves with him and allow Billy to feel comfortable with his new keepers. Then, on June 23, staff began Billy's routine a bit early, ultimately taking a direct flight to Denver with two vets and two members of the animal care team to ensure he was comfortable and safe. He arrived to staff waiting in Denver that had painstaking planned his safe final leg of travel to the zoo.The young bull became the third male elephant in the zoo's new Toyota Elephant Passage exhibit. Billy, being unrelated to most of the elephants in the U.S., will ultimately support the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan with valuable genetics as he is unrelated to most elephants in the U.S. Genetic diversity is important to ensure a sustainable population of zoo elephants in North America. This effort showcases Denver Zoo's commitment to animals and ensuring the wellbeing of Asian elephants in zoos for years to come. There are less than 35,000 Asian elephants in the world today and without strategic breeding programs and assurance populations in zoos, these endangered animals are at risk of becoming extinct within our lifetime. Conservation & Biology:Denver Zoo joined more than 200 other wildlife conservationists, representing more than 40 zoos and wildlife programs in 36 countries, at 2013 Zoos and Aquariums Committing to Conservation Conference (ZACC). The meeting called on governments around the world to increase resources needed to combat the alarming rise in the illegal wildlife trade. Thanks in part to Denver Zoo conservation activities, Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys, a critically endangered primate species found only in northern Vietnam, recorded their highest population numbers ever in an October 2013 survey. The zoo's efforts have included studying the monkeys' resource needs and educating the local community about the species' plight.Aztai, a wild-born, cinereous vulture made her public debut. The young bird was rescued and brought to Denver Zoo from Mongolia after experts determined she would not be able to survive in the wild due to a damaged wing. She brings genetic diversity and helps communicate the zoo's conservation message.New Additions to our Zoo animal family: Gerenuk calvesIn 2013, Denver Zoo celebrated the first ever birth of the gerenuk species at the zoo! A female named Blossom was born to parents Layla and Woody in March. She was followed in November by Stitch, a male born to the same parents. Gerenuk gestation is seven months and it is common for them to have three calves in a four year period.Grevy's Zebra calvesDenver Zoo also welcomed two new endangered Grevy's zebra foals, female Zena in June and male Summit in August. The first, a female named Zena, was born in June to mother Topaz. The second, a male named Summit, was born in August. There are fewer than 2000 Grevy's zebras living in the wild.Snow Leopard CubIn May, Denver Zoo welcomed the birth of an endangered female snow leopard cub named Misha to mother, Natasha, and father, Himal. Although this is Himal's first cub, Natasha is an experienced mother having given birth to cubs in 2005, 2007 and 2008. The birth was celebrated greatly among zoos as this species is rare. Przewalski's HorseOn May 31, Denver Zoo celebrated the birth of an endangered Przewalski's (sheh-VAL-skee's) horse, a female named Sube. She was not only the first birth for mother, Yisun, and father, Bataar, but also the first birth of her species at the zoo since 1991. Przewalski's horses, considered the only remaining, truly "wild" horses in the world, once roamed throughout Europe and Asia, but today they are only found on reserves in Mongolia and China and in zoos around the world. At one time this species was extinct in the wild, but zoos were able to successfully establish wild populations through reintroduction projects.Chewbacca the Red PandaA 6-year-old, male red panda named Chewbacca was introduced in January to be paired with the zoo's female, Daisy, after a recommendation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP), which ensures healthy populations and genetic diversity among zoo animals. Red pandas are classified as "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), with an estimated population of less than 2,500 mature individuals remaining in the wild.Fiji Banded IguanaA 12-year-old, male Fiji banded iguana arrived in Tropical Discovery, the first time in eight years this species has lived at Denver Zoo. Eventually zookeepers hope to couple the very colorful iguana with a female with which to breed.Excellence in Animal Care: Denver Zoo's animal care team was the recipient of two significant awards in 2013. The American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK) awarded Denver Zoo's Rocky Mountain Chapter with the 2103 Chapter of the Year Award. This award recognizes a chapter for their dedication and commitment to conveying conservation and education messages to the public. Members of our primate care team were awarded with the Jean M. Hromadka Excellence in Animal Care Award. This award recognizes achievement and determination of an individual or team in the animal care field and in fostering professionalism. Animal care is a science combining zoology, biology, animal management, behavioral observation and daily record keeping on the species in their care. This is essential knowledge for maintaining a species effectively in captivity.Desc

DescZoo ImprovementsZoo Improvements include both small capital and large capital construction projects. One major component of the expense is approximately $1,190,000 for construction expenditures related to Toyota Elephant Passage. Although the assets of the more than $50 Million project were turned over to the City in 2012, there were some expenses related to the completion of the projects within the Millennium plan. Approximately $1,866,000 was spent on small capital purchases and expenditures related to general zoo improvements, exhibit enhancements, and capital equipment.Desc

DescEnvironmental/Conservation Education ProgrammingEducation is a major focus for Denver Zoo, with a variety of programs available for diverse audiences, both at the zoo and at schools and other locations throughout the Denver metro area. The zoo reaches out to diverse audiences, especially underserved populations that historically have not participated in programs offered by scientific and cultural facilities. We have strategically sought collaborations with partners that have earned the trust of underrepresented audiences. In 2013, over 35,339 students participated in on-site classes, assemblies, science workshops, career programs, our popular Bunk with the Beasts program, Summer Safari (a day camp) and other programs. This number does not include students who visited the zoo on field trips. 170,030 children and adults participated in education outreach programming, primarily Pre-K through 12th grade students.Desc

Part X, Line 2:The Foundation adopted the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes accounting standard which requires the Foundation to determine whether a tax position (and the related tax benefit) is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based solely on the technical merits of the position. The Foundation believes it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are significant to the financial statements. The Foundation's Returns of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Forms 990) for the previous three years are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after initial filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Form 990 is reviewed in detail by the members of the Zoo's Finance Committee. After the committee's approval, a copy of the Form 990 is made available to all members of the board for review, prior to its filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cConflict of interest questionnaires are completed annually by all officers, directors or trustees, and key employees. Trustees who have a beneficial interest in a decision are excused from discussion and voting rights. Also, if the item of purchase is a tangible asset with potential conflicts of interest, staff is required to get multiple bids for the item.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15There are several factors, monetary and nonmonetary, that are considered in determining executive compensation. These business-related factors include: Budget: Does the budget allow for any flexibility in the offer and what is the relative financial health of our organization? Internal equity: What are other executives in the same type of job or at the same job level being paid? Market price/external demands: Is this job difficult to fill or is it hard to find qualified candidates in this location or industry? Candidates' level of experience: How many years of relevant experience does this person bring to the table? Candidates' education level: What degrees does the person have that will benefit our organization? Candidates' current compensation package: What is this person's current base pay and benefits package? Salary surveys: What are other executives in the same type of job being paid at other non-profit organizations of the same size? Once the salary is determined, the executive committee (which consists of independent board members) reviews this information. Written employment agreements are also used.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18The organization's Form 1023 and Form 990 are available to the public upon request.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available to the public upon request. The Zoo's articles of incorporation and annual reports are also on file with the Colorado Secretary of State.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c:The Denver Zoological Foundation's Board of Trustees assume the responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed from prior years.
