THE SOCIETY PROVIDES AN ENJOYABLE FAMILY EXPERIENCE THAT FOSTERS UNDERSTANDING, RESPECT AND APPRECIATION FOR WILDLIFE. THE SOCIETY'S SUPPORT COMES PRIMARILY FROM INDIVIDUALS, CORPORATIONS, FOUNDATION GRANTS, REGIONAL SUPPORT AND OPERATIONS. 0 0 14641994 97846 8375691 THE ZOO IS OPEN EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR EXCEPT CHRISTMAS DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY AND NEW YEAR'S DAY. WE HOST NUMEROUS EVENTS FOR COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL GROUPS, AND ARE 100% ACCESSIBLE. IN 2013, 891,643 INDIVIDUALS VISITED THE ZOO. TO INCREASE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND INTEREST, THE ZOO CONDUCTS SPECIAL EVENTS AND PROMOTIONS GEARED TOWARD THE GENERAL PUBLIC, FAMILIES, SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS AND ZOO MEMBERS. THESE EVENTS ARE CENTERED AROUND THE ZOO'S PRIMARY PURPOSES - EDUCATION, CONSERVATION AND RECREATION. THE ZOO ALSO HOSTS A NUMBER OF EVENTS FOR COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL GROUPS. PARTICIPANTS ENJOYED THE ZOO'S POPULAR EDUCATION PROGRAMS, CLASSES, AND TEACHER WORKSHOPS. ZOOMOBILES MADE NUMEROUS APPEARANCES AT COMMUNITY FAIRS, MALLS, AND OUTLETS TO PROMOTE THE ZOO'S MANY CONSERVATION-EDUCATION PROGRAMS. THE ZOO PARTNERED WITH LOCAL VENDORS TO OFFER ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS AND CREATE MORE WAYS TO SERVE MORE STUDENTS. MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS WERE OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE. THE ZOO HOSTED PUBLIC SPECIAL EVENT DAYS OR NIGHTS, INCLUDING ELEPHANT DAY, ZOO BOO, A 5K RACE, NEW BABY CELEBRATIONS, AND THE NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY AT NOON. DREAM NIGHT, A SUCCESSFUL SPECIAL EVENT WAS STARTED IN 2006 WHERE THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH, KIDS WITH DISABILITIES WERE INVITED TO A COMPLIMENTARY PRIVATE ZOO VISIT. THESE PROGRAMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AND GROW IN THE COMING YEARS. IN ORDER TO ENSURE ACCESSIBILITY FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF FINANCIAL MEANS, THE ZOO DESIGNATES FREE DAYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THERE ARE VARIOUS OTHER SPECIAL PROMOTIONS DURING THE YEAR OFFERING DISCOUNTED ADMISSION. PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY OR EMOTIONALLY CHALLENGED PERSONS ARE GRANTED FREE ADMISSION ANY TIME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. GROUPS SERVING THE DISADVANTAGED ARE OFFERED FREE ADMISSION TO THE ZOO THROUGH OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. DURING THE PAST THIRTEEN YEARS, THE KIDSCIENCE PROJECT HAS PROVIDED PITTSBURGH AREA MIDDLE-SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH ENRICHING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES DESIGNED TO PROPEL FUTURE SCIENTISTS INTO THE FOREFRONT OF REAL ANIMAL BEHAVIOR RESEARCH. KIDSCIENCE STUDENTS HAVE HAD A REAL AND MEANINGFUL IMPACT ON MANY OF THE ZOO'S RESEARCH PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE WORK THAT LED TO THE BIRTH OF OUR ELEPHANT CALVES. FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS DO NOT IMPACT PARTICIPATION AND THE ZOO HAS AWARDED OVER 200 NEEDS-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS TO QUALIFIED STUDENTS SINCE ITS INCEPTION. THE ZOO CONTINUES TO WORK WITH A HOST OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND LOCAL SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE AT-RISK YOUTH AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE AND ON-THE-JOB LEARNING IN VIABLE POSITIONS AT THE ZOO. THE ZOO CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE LARGEST YOUTH EMPLOYERS IN THE REGION. THE PITTSBURGH ZOO'S POPULAR ZOO CAMP SUMMER PROGRAM CONTINUES TO SET RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCE LEVELS. THE ZOO IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THE CONTINUED GROWTH OF THIS PROGRAM. THE ZOO OFFERS INTERNSHIPS IN ALL AREAS OF THE FACILITY, INCLUDING THE MARKETING, ANIMAL, EDUCATION, VETERINARY AND HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENTS.

WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING THE PERIODIC MONITORING, INSPECTION, VIOLATIONS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IT HOLDS. ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS, THE ORGANIZATION DOES REVIEW ANY PROGRAM CHANGE OR DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY DIRECTLY AND IMMEDIATELY WITH THE HOLDER OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. THE PROPERTY IS COMPLETELY ENCLOSED BY A PERIMETER FENCE AND ALL PROGRAMMING IS CONSERVATION ORIENTED. PART II, LINE 9: THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF PITTSBURGH WITH AN ADDRESS AT ONE WILD PLACE, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA 15206-1178 GRANTED A RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGAINST THE PROPERTY (PARCEL OF LAND IN SOMERSET COUNTY) IN THE FORM OF A PERPETUAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN SOMERSET COUNTY, COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 724 ACRES. THERE IS ONLY ONE CONSERVATION EASEMENT WHICH WAS HELD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND THERE WERE NO ADDITIONS DURING THE COURSE OF 2013. THERE WERE MINIMAL STAFF HOURS AND NO LEGAL EXPENSES DEVOTED TO MONITORING AND ENFORCING THE EXISTING EASEMENT DURING THE TAX YEAR. EXPENSES ARE CAPTURED UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. THE LAND THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT IS RECORDED ON THE BALANCE SHEET OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. PART III, LINE 1A: ANIMAL AND HORTICULTURAL COLLECTION - COLLECTIONS ARE OWNED BY THE SOCIETY AND ARE NOT CAPITALIZED. COSTS OF PURCHASING COLLECTION ITEMS AND PROCEEDS FROM SALES ARE RECOGNIZED IN THE YEAR OF ACQUISITION OR SALE. PART III, LINE 4: THE PITTSBURGH ZOO AND PPG AQUARIUM IS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO PUBLIC SERVICE. WE ADVANCE THIS COMMITMENT THROUGH THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND SCIENCE, AND ALSO BY LESSENING THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH OUR EFFORTS IN THE AREAS OF THE CONSERVATION OF ANIMALS AND WILDLIFE, HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND THE PROVISION OF OPEN SPACE FOR PUBLIC RECREATION. WE DONATE A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR SERVICES TO BENEFIT OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY, THE REGIONAL COMMUNITY, AND BEYOND, AND OPERATE ENTIRELY FREE FROM PROFIT MOTIVE. TODAY THE ZOO IS HOME TO MORE THAN 892 SPECIES AND 15,996 SPECIMENS, MANY THREATENED OR ENDANGERED. EACH OF OUR EXCEPTIONAL RESIDENTS ACTS AS AN AMBASSADOR OF ITS SPECIES TO ALL WHO PASS THROUGH OUR GATES. EVERY SPECIES HAS A STORY TO TELL AND OUR ANIMAL AMBASSADORS DO A GREAT JOB OF WELCOMING, EDUCATING, AND CONNECTING WITH EVERY VISITOR. OUR PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES FOLLOW THE FOUR PRONGS OF OUR MISSION STATEMENT: CONSERVATION EDUCATION, CONSERVATION, RESEARCH, AND FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT. TO FURTHER OUR MISSION, WE MAKE ACCESSIBILITY A TOP PRIORITY. THE ZOO IS OPEN EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR EXCEPT CHRISTMAS DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY, AND NEW YEAR'S DAY. WE PROACTIVELY ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND THE REGION THROUGH TARGETED SPECIAL EVENTS AND PROMOTIONS. TO MAXIMIZE INVOLVEMENT AND INTEREST, WE CONSIDER THE GENERAL PUBLIC, FAMILIES, SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS, AND ZOO MEMBERS WHEN CRAFTING OUR SCHEDULE. WE ARE ADA ACCESSIBLE AS WELL. WE PLAN SPECIAL PROMOTIONS AND EVENTS TO HIGHLIGHT OUR PURPOSES OF CONSERVATION EDUCATION, CONSERVATION, RESEARCH, AND FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT IN VERY DIFFERENT WAYS, AND WE DO THIS TO APPEAL TO THE BROADEST SPECTRUM OF VISITORS POSSIBLE. FROM A 5K RACE TO A NEW BABY CELEBRATION, FROM ZOO CAMP TO ELEPHANT DAY, THE VARIETY OF WAYS WE INSPIRE AND ATTRACT IS BOUNDLESS. WE PLAN SPECIAL PROMOTIONS AND EVENTS TO HIGHLIGHT OUR PURPOSES OF CONSERVATION EDUCATION, CONSERVATION, RESEARCH, AND FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT IN VERY DIFFERENT WAYS, AND WE DO THIS TO APPEAL TO THE BROADEST SPECTRUM OF VISITORS POSSIBLE. FROM A 5K RACE TO A NEW BABY CELEBRATION, FROM ZOO CAMP TO ELEPHANT DAY, THE VARIETY OF WAYS WE INSPIRE AND ATTRACT IS BOUNDLESS. CONSERVATION EDUCATION: ANNUALLY, OVER 300,000 STUDENTS OF ALL AGES ENJOY OUR POPULAR EDUCATION PROGRAMS, CLASSES, AND TEACHER WORKSHOPS. THESE PROGRAMS ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO IDENTIFY CLOSER WITH WILDLIFE, PLANTS, AND THEIR HABITATS TO PROVIDE A FIRM UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF ALL LIVING THINGS. LEARNING ADVENTURES BRINGS IN STUDENT GROUPS OR SENDS A ZOOMOBILE TO SCHOOLS. CLASS PRESENTATIONS ARE DESIGNED TO SPEAK TO EACH AGE LEVEL THROUGH COLLEGE. FOR TWO YEAR OLDS THE CLASSES ARE AS BASIC AS MEETING SMALL LIVE ANIMALS. COLLEGE STUDENTS MAY DISCUSS ADVANCED TOPICS LIKE PRIMATES AS AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL SUBJECT. ZOOMOBILES MAKE NUMEROUS APPEARANCES AT COMMUNITY FAIRS, MALLS, AND OUTLETS TO PROMOTE THE ZOO'S MANY CONSERVATION-EDUCATION PROGRAMS. MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE. OUR ZOO CAMP SUMMER PROGRAM CONTINUES TO SET RECORD BREAKING ATTENDANCE LEVELS. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THE CONTINUED GROWTH OF THIS PROGRAM. THE KIDSCIENCE PROJECT PROVIDES PITTSBURGH AREA MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH ENRICHING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. THE YEAR-LONG PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO METHODS AND PRINCIPLES RELATED TO CONSERVATION BIOLOGY. STUDENTS WORK WITH OUR STAFF ON PROJECTS THAT EMPOWER THEM TO GO INTO THEIR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES AND LEAD CONSERVATION EFFORTS. KIDSCIENCE STUDENTS HAVE HAD A REAL AND MEANINGFUL IMPACT ON MANY OF THE ZOO'S RESEARCH PROJECTS, INCLUDING WORK THAT LED TO THE BIRTHS OF OUR ELEPHANT CALVES. FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS DO NOT IMPACT PARTICIPATION; WE HAVE AWARDED OVER 200 NEEDS-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS TO QUALIFIED STUDENTS SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1999. THE ZOO OFFERS INTERNSHIPS IN ALL AREAS OF THE FACILITY, INCLUDING THE MARKETING, ANIMAL, EDUCATION, VETERINARY, AQUARIUM, AND HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENTS. AS IT HAS FOR MANY DECADES, OUR ZOO TEEN PROGRAM PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEENS AGED 14 TO 17 TO WORK AT THE ZOO DURING THE SUMMER. WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH A HOST OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND LOCAL SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE AT-RISK YOUTH AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE AND ON-THE-JOB LEARNING IN VIABLE POSITIONS AT THE ZOO. WE CONTINUE TO BE ONE OF THE LARGEST YOUTH EMPLOYERS IN THE REGION. COMMUNITY EDUCATION IS NOT LIMITED TO CLASSROOMS AND THE WORKPLACE. IN OUR ADMISSIONS AREA, WE HAVE INSTALLED AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION FOR GUEST USE, AS WELL AS COST SAVING SOLAR LIGHT POLES AND A WINDSPIRE VERTICAL WIND TURBINE. THESE PROJECTS SERVE FUNCTIONALLY, BUT ALSO OFFER INCREASED PUBLIC AWARENESS OF SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES TO TRADITIONAL ENERGY SOURCES. WE ARE COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION AND THE CREATIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN IDEAS. ANOTHER WAY WE ENGAGE THE LARGER COMMUNITY IS THROUGH OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE MYACTIONS PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM ENCOURAGES CITIZENS TO PERFORM AND REPORT ON THE DAILY, SUSTAINABLE ACTIONS THEY COMPLETE, SUCH AS USING REUSABLE SHOPPING BAGS AND COMPOSTING THEIR WASTE. REPORTING ON THEIR ACTIONS EARNS POINTS THAT GENERATE DONATIONS TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSE OF THEIR CHOICE. MYACTIONS IS A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE WAY WE SEEK TO REINFORCE POSITIVE DAILY BEHAVIORS IN EVERYDAY LIFE. CONSERVATION & RESEARCH: EVERY FEATURED EXHIBIT PROMOTES CONSERVATION IN A GENERAL SENSE. SPECIFICALLY THOUGH, WE HOUSE AND EXHIBIT 21 THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES AND PARTICIPATE IN 54 ANIMAL PROGRAMS GOVERNED BY THE ASSOCIATION OF ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS. THE AZA DECIDES WHICH ZOOS WILL BREED WHICH ANIMALS WITHIN A GIVEN SPECIES BASED ON AVAILABLE FACILITIES, EXPERTISE, GENETICS OF THE ANIMALS, AND NEED WITHIN THE US CAPTIVE COLLECTION, AMONG OTHER CRITERIA. WE ALSO PARTICIPATE IN AZA MANAGED ANIMAL PROGRAMS FOR COTTON-TOP TAMARINS, WESTERN LOWLAND GORILLAS, AND AFRICAN ELEPHANTS, TO NAME A FEW. WE LEAD THE WAY IN IMPROVING THE BREEDING POTENTIAL OF THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT POPULATION IN US ACCREDITED ZOOS BY ACQUIRING NEW BLOODLINES THROUGH IMPORTATIONS FROM ABROAD. IN 2012, THREE FEMALE AFRICAN ELEPHANTS FROM BOTSWANA ARRIVED AT OUR INTERNATIONAL CONSERVATION CENTER IN SOMERSET, AS WELL AS A NEW MALE FROM GERMANY. ADDING THESE ELEPHANTS TO EXISTING HERDS ENHANCES FUTURE BREEDING POTENTIAL. INFUSION OF NEW GENETICS INTO THE US POPULATION, ALONG WITH ACCOMPANYING RESEARCH, CONSERVATION, AND EDUCATION, IS INTEGRAL TO OUR LEADERSHIP IN AFRICAN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION AND CAPTIVE BIRTHS. WE ARE PLEASED TO PARTICIPATE IN PROJECT SECORE (SEXUAL CORAL REPRODUCTION). SECORE IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE LEADING WORLD CORAL SCIENTISTS AND PUBLIC AQUARIUM PROFESSIONALS, WHOSE GOAL IS TO RESTORE ENDANGERED CORAL REEFS AND TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THEIR IMPORTANCE TO THE WORLD'S OCEAN ECOSYSTEMS. THE ZOO PLANTED A GREEN ROOF ATOP THE WATER'S EDGE BUILDING, AND CONDUCTED A STUDY OF WHICH PLANTS WILL THRIVE AND WHICH WILL NOT UNDER ROOF TOP CONDITIONS. THE DATA COLLECTED HELPS THE REGION'S ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS, AND HORTICULTURALISTS DECIDE WHAT TO PLANT ON THEIR GREEN ROOFS. GREEN ROOFS CONSERVE ENERGY AND UTILIZE STORM WATER RUNOFF. AS SOCIETY INCREASES ITS EFFORTS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABILITY, GREEN ROOFS WILL DOMINATE THE LANDSCAPE. OUR RESEARCH WILL HELP ELIMINATE THE TRIAL-AND-ERROR PROCESS IN DETERMINING THE BEST PALETTE OF VEGETATION. OUR RAIN CATCH BASIN GARDEN IS ANOTHER GREEN PLANTING INNOVATION. INDIGENOUS PLANTS THRIVE IN THIS GARDEN, DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE STORMWATER USE AND MINIMIZE THE NEED FOR WATERING. THE SYSTEM ALSO DIMINISHES EROSION BY ENCOURAGING WATER TO SATURATE THE GROUND INSTEAD OF POOLING AND CREATING POLLUTED RUNOFF. WE RECENTLY COMPLETED THE FIRST EVER SUSTAINABILITY AUDIT OF THE ZOO. THE RESULTING REPORTS GIVE SPECIFIC ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS WITH EXPECTED COSTS AND BENEFITS, AND FOCUS BOTH ON ACTIONS WE CAN TAKE IMMEDIATELY AND IN THE FUTURE TO SAVE MONEY, INCREASE EFFICIENCIES, AND BECOME BETTER STEWARDS OF OUR PLANET. SIMPLE CHANGES LIKE UPGRADING LIGHT FIXTURES AND REPLACING WORN DOOR GASKETS YIELD FINANCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RETURNS. MAJOR PROJECTS SUCH AS HVAC UPGRADES, UTILITY USE ASSESSMENTS, AND SUSTAINABLE ROOFING SOLUTIONS WILL YIELD EVEN GREATER BENEFITS. PART III, LINE 4: (CONTINUED) FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT: THE ZOO IS THE MOST VISITED CULTURAL ATTRACTION IN THE SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA REGION. ATTENDANCE IN 2013 WAS A STRONG 891,643. SUSTAINED ATTENDANCE GROWTH IN RECENT YEARS IS THANKS IN LARGE PART TO THE SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF OUR WATER'S EDGE EXHIBIT IN 2006. ANNUAL ATTENDANCE EXCEEDED THE ONE MILLION MARK FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS AFTER THIS EXHIBIT OPENED. OUR RECORD ATTENDANCE YEAR WAS IN 2009, AT 1,033,535 VISITORS. WHILE MULTIPLE FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO OUR HEALTHY ATTENDANCE, INCLUDING A VERY STRONG CONSERVATION EDUCATION PROGRAM, OUR GUESTS ARE PRIMARILY DRAWN BY OUR TREMENDOUS COLLECTION OF RARE ANIMALS AND IMPRESSIVE EXHIBITS. OUR LARGEST ANCHOR EXHIBIT, WATER'S EDGE, HOUSES AND SHOWCASES POLAR BEARS, SEA OTTERS, AND SAND TIGER SHARKS IN A SETTING THAT REPLICATES AN ALASKAN COASTAL FISHING VILLAGE. WE PROVIDE VISITORS WITH COUNTLESS OUTSTANDING VIEWS OF THE ANIMALS THROUGH 14 LARGE WINDOWS, BUT THE MOST SPECTACULAR DISPLAY IS FROM BELOW. WATER'S EDGE CONTAINS TWO UNDERWATER TUNNELS - ONE THROUGH THE POLAR BEAR POOL AND ONE THROUGH THE SAND TIGER SHARK POOL - THAT PROVIDE REMARKABLE AND UNCOMMON PERSPECTIVES THROUGH A SEAMLESS ACRYLIC WINDOW SURROUNDING OBSERVERS ON THREE SIDES. WATER'S EDGE ALSO FEATURES A FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOW WHERE ONE CAN SEE THE BELOW-THE-SURFACE AREA OF SEA OTTER COVE. HERE, OTTERS ARE OBSERVED GLIDING EFFORTLESSLY THROUGH THEIR POOL IN A MAJESTIC WATER BALLET. OF COURSE THE ZOO IS BURSTING WITH REMARKABLE ATTRACTIONS. THE TIGER ENCOUNTER WINDOW OFTEN BRINGS THESE MAGNIFICENT CREATURES NOSE-TO-NOSE WITH CURIOUS ONLOOKERS, SEPARATED ONLY BY GLASS. PEOPLE GET TO SEE THE MEMBERS OF THE ELEPHANT HERD INTERACT IN THE ELEPHANT FAMILY ROOM. VISITORS CAN TOUR THE ONLY PUBLIC AQUARIUM IN PENNSYLVANIA AS PART OF THEIR ADMISSION. THE PPG AQUARIUM IS FILLED WITH AQUATIC LIFE FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE, INCLUDING A PENGUIN COLLECTION MADE UP OF THREE DIFFERENT SPECIES. TOO MANY OF OUR TREASURED RESIDENTS HAVE A SOMBER CONSERVATION STORY TO TELL. ONE OF OUR NEWEST AND PROUDEST FAMILY ADDITIONS IS THE ADORABLE AND PLAYFUL RED PANDA. HERS IS A SERIOUSLY THREATENED SPECIES, AND THROUGH OUR CONSERVATION EFFORTS WE SEEK TO PRESERVE HER KIND. OUR GREEN SEA TURTLE CAME TO US AFTER SHE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED BY A BOAT PROPELLER. AS WE PARTICIPATE IN THE SEA TURTLE SECOND CHANCE PROGRAM, SHE IS RECEIVING TOP NOTCH MEDICAL AND REHABILITATIVE CARE. LATE 2013 SAW THE ARRIVAL OF FOUR ENDANGERED CHEETAHS. THEY ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE GENETICALLY THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE EXISTING NORTH AMERICAN POPULATION. THEIR INTRODUCTION IS IMPORTANT TO THE OVERALL STRENGTH OF THE EXISTING GENE POOL AND WILL IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND VIABILITY OF ANY NEW PROGENY. SUCCESSFUL BREEDING IS A TOP CONSERVATION GOAL. OUR BABY WESTERN LOWLAND GORILLA WHO JUST TURNED ONE IS A TREMENDOUS CONSERVATION SUCCESS STORY FOR THIS ENDANGERED SPECIES. OUR COMMITMENT TO EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON THE IMPORTANCE OF WILDLIFE AND WILD PLACES IS EVIDENT IN THE COMPASSIONATE MANNER IN WHICH OUR PRECIOUS RESIDENTS ARE NURTURED. WE REALIZE SOME OF OUR GUESTS WOULD LIKE MORE THAN JUST A LOOK AT THE ANIMALS, SO OUR EXHIBITS HAVE GRAPHICS AND INTERPRETIVES TELLING ABOUT AN ANIMAL'S LIFE CYCLE, PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND, WHERE APPROPRIATE, THREATS IN THE WILD. OUR DEDICATED STAFF STRIVES TO IMPROVE THE LIFE EXPERIENCES OF ANIMALS AND TO PROMOTE NATURAL BEHAVIORS WITH SPECIALIZED ACTIVITIES. OUR KEEPERS ARE AVAILABLE AT POSTED TIMES TO TEACH ABOUT THEIR CHARGES. AT TIMES, THEY ALSO SHOWCASE THE ANIMALS' BEHAVIORS WITH ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES. SOMETIMES THE FOCUS IS SIMPLY ON FUN. EVENTS LIKE ZOO BOO, SUMMER SAFARI, AND THE NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY AT NOON ARE INCREDIBLY POPULAR. SOMETIMES THOUGH, THE FOCUS IS ON ENSURING EVERYONE GETS TO JOIN IN ON THE FUN. SINCE 2006, DREAM NIGHT, A SUCCESSFUL AND VERY SPECIAL EVENT, HAS THE ZOO PARTNERING WITH MULTIPLE CHILD-FOCUSED ORGANIZATIONS AND ADVOCATES. KIDS WITH DISABILITIES ARE INVITED TO A COMPLIMENTARY PRIVATE ZOO VISIT. IN ORDER TO ENSURE ACCESSIBILITY FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF FINANCIAL MEANS, THE ZOO DESIGNATES FREE DAYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THERE ARE VARIOUS SPECIAL PROMOTIONS DURING THE YEAR OFFERING DISCOUNTED ADMISSION AS WELL. PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, OR EMOTIONALLY CHALLENGED PERSONS ARE GRANTED FREE ADMISSION ANY TIME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. GROUPS SERVING THE DISADVANTAGED ARE OFFERED FREE ADMISSION TO THE ZOO THROUGH OUR SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAM, OPERATING FOR OVER TWO DECADES. SINCE 1898, THE PITTSBURGH ZOO & PPG AQUARIUM HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY SUCCESSFUL AT PROVIDING THIS REGION WITH UNIQUE, CUTTING-EDGE OPPORTUNITIES TO DISCOVER AND APPRECIATE WILDLIFE. WE CONSIDER THIS PUBLIC SERVICE BOTH INVALUABLE AND IMPERATIVE. THE WORK WE DO NOT ONLY BENEFITS CONSERVATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT ALSO IMPROVES OUR COMMUNITY AND OVERALL CULTURE. WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE AND GROW OUR PROGRAMS IN COMING YEARS, ADDING INCREASED VALUE TO THE PUBLIC EXPERIENCE FOR YEARS TO COME, AND ENSURING THE ZOO IS A PREMIERE DESTINATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO LEARN, CONNECT WITH NATURE, AND GROW AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS WORLD CITIZENS.
