TRANSCRIPT
2006 Annual Report
The California condor exhibit, soon to be only
the third condor exhibit in a zoo, will be built
in conjunction with the new fox exhibit and
The Wave. Construction will start in November
2007, following final approval from the Historic
Landmarks Commission and receipt of permits
from the Building Department. We anticipate
that construction of this first phase will take a
year, completing construction in fall 2008. At
that point, the second phase of construction
will commence to build a 9,000 square foot
education facility/animal kitchen (Discovery
Pavilion) and create a new series of exhibits
with the renovation of the langur-lemur-
alligator complex (Asian habitat).
The need to continue fundraising for The Zoo
Campaign – Wild California still exists. The quality
of your Zoo is a direct result of the generosity
and enthusiasm of friends like you. Those who
recognize the value of the Zoo to present and
future generations of Central Coast residents
are committed, as we are, to making the Santa
Barbara Zoo the best zoo in the region. My
deepest and heartfelt thanks for making 2006
another great year in the history of the zoo.
I hope you will join us in 2007 for another
outstanding year!

Every year at the Santa Barbara Zoo, we are
able to realize more of the potential of this
wonderful institution thanks to the generosity
of our many donors, members, and friends.
2006 was no exception. Great weather and
the new Crawford Family Penguin House exhibit
helped us attract more than 460,000 visitors
and share our passion for the world’s wildlife.
A solid marketing and advertising program
reminded residents of the Central Coast that
a visit to the Zoo is a rewarding and inspiring
experience.
The Zoo Campaign – Wild California continued
to raise funds that will help us realize our
vision for new exhibits, expanding educational
opportunities, and enhancing the guest
experience. And our membership grew to
more than 14,000 households, reaching
families and friends from San Luis Obispo all
the way to Los Angeles.
In December we received a wonderful holiday
gift from the Santa Barbara City Planning
Commission. following more than three
years of studies, research, and meetings, the
Commission approved five significant projects
in the Zoo’s master plan: Condor Country, the
Crawford Family Channel Island Fox exhibit, The
Wave (new hilltop restaurant/restrooms), the
Discovery Pavilion, and the new Asian habitat.

In 2006, the Santa
Barbara Zoo
continued to reach
out not only to our
own community but
in large measure to
our neighbors to
the south. Overall,
membership now
exceeds 14,000 households, approximately
40% of which come from Ventura County. We
are, in fact, becoming a regional Zoo, and the
enthusiasm of our professional staff continues
to improve the facility and programs for all to
enjoy. Attendance exceeded 460,000 people,
our fourth largest year on record!
Our executive leaders expect very high
standards to make the Zoo among the best
of its size in the country. They expect a lot
from our staff who continue to work tirelessly
to achieve this distinction. Their dedication
and passion is inspirational. In addition, we
would be remiss if we didn’t recognize all of
our loyal volunteers who work countless hours
at events such as the incredibly popular Boo at
the Zoo. You make this entire endeavor truly a
community effort.
Now we turn our attention and look forward to
new beginnings in 2007. The City certified our

construction in the fall on our long awaited
California condor exhibit. In addition, we will
be renovating the Channel Island fox exhibit,
converting the existing children’s playground
into a new home for the desert tortoise, and
providing for a new and improved hilltop guest
service facility. We are able to take these steps
because of your response to our Wild California
campaign. At year’s end, we had received
pledges and donations totaling almost $7.6
million (63% of our total campaign goal of
$12.1 million). Thank you for helping us make
all of this a reality.
I invite you to visit the Zoo and see and enjoy
what you and your neighbors have created.
The Santa Barbara Zoo, with a long tradition of
volunteer and community support, continues
to hold a special place in the hearts of many
Santa Barbarans. We’re very excited about all
we are accomplishing at the Zoo.

Animals in our Back yard
Our conservation and research programs made
significant advances in 2006. The year’s activities
validated our role in both conservation and
research with many important field projects and
the research that was produced. We had many
outstanding achievements.
The entire staff increased its understanding
of the Zoo’s role in conservation, especially
since many had the opportunity for hands-on
support of our conservation work in the field or
at an on-site event. Estelle Sandhaus joined the
Santa Barbara Zoo as our new Conservation
and Research Coordinator, and brought with
her an impressive array of knowledge, skills,
and abilities that added to our resources.
The Zoo’s partnerships supporting local
conservation efforts expanded. The number
of staff hours spent both in the field and in
support of field activities reached a new high
of 1188 hours. Unlike last year, the greatest
number of hours in 2006 was spent working
with the California condor (776 hours). The
Island fox was supported by 316 staff hours
this year, second in overall man hours. As in the
past, participating field staff not only included
the Animal Care department, but also included
Animal Health and our Maintenance team. The
tasks were varied and included husbandry,
maintenance work, and veterinary care.
A significant addition to the tasks of staff in
the field was that of condor nest monitoring.
Several staff members made noteworthy
contributions to the monitoring of chick #412,
a wild hatched chick in the Sespe area. Staff
spent long days watching the chick through
a spotting scope, keeping track of behavior
and parental attention. Observations by
nest monitors were the reason for a quick
intervention by USfWS staff to treat chick #412
for a medical issue and successfully return it to
the nest. In order to build on this success, we
began the process of developing a long-term
nest monitoring program.
Our work in the Los Padres National forest
continued, as we assisted the US forest
Service in population monitoring and recovery
programs for the federally threatened California
red-legged frog and the federally endangered
Arroyo toad. The forest Service is trying to
determine these species’ occupancy of areas
within the forest, monitor the effects of forest
activities, determine current habitat usage, and
document the presence of introduced flora
and fauna that may impact the populations of
these species.
The Colorado River toad is the
largest native toad in the United States. It can secrete toxins
which may be fatal to small animals
(such as dogs) if ingested.

The number of s taf f hours spent both in the f ield and
in suppor t of f ie ld ac t iv i t ies reached a new high.
In 2006, the Santa Barbara Zoo continued its
support of both in situ and ex situ Island fox
conservation. Animal Care and Veterinary staff
continued to donate time on the northern
California Channel Islands, supporting the work
being done by the National Park Service. The
Santa Barbara Zoo hosted the 2006 fox festival
(educational event) and continued to maintain
the Island fox studbook. The Zoo was among
those considered for the AZA North American
Conservation Award based on our work over
the past seven years supporting Island fox
conservation.
Several Zoo staff members shared their
research with colleagues in 2006, including
two conference presentations, a poster
presentation, and three journal articles. Topics
ranged from meerkats’ dietary transitions to
western fence lizard behavioral notes to giant
panda management. We also continue to
support an array of projects facilitated by other
zoos and/or universities that are approved by
the Zoo’s Animal Care and Use Committee.
Our focus continues to be on enhancing
our awareness and management through
applicable research.
The Santa Barbara Zoo continued to support
several international conservation activities,
including projects that directly relate to the
messages that we share with our guests.
In 2006, we contributed to the work of The
Amazon Conservation Team, which works with
indigenous people to conserve biodiversity.
We supported work in Peru to provide for local
awareness of the Humboldt penguin, as well
as penguin census information. We continued
our support of the International Elephant
foundation which facilitates a variety of
conservation, research, and education projects
in both Africa and Asia. Our contributions to
the International Snow Leopard Trust helped
support the conservation of snow leopards. We
constantly seek out partnership opportunities
like the ones described above in order to
enhance the messages we relay to our guests
and further the Zoo’s conservation.
The Zoo’s conservation program continues to
grow. The significance of our efforts regularly
receives praise from our conservation partners:
US fish and Wildlife Service, Ventana Wildlife
Society, National Park Service, and the US
forest Service. There is an increasing synergy
with our programs and partnerships and our
Education, Development, Marketing, Animal
Care, and Animal Health departments that
enhances the Zoo’s conservation mission.

Li fe at the Zoo
Little did we know that 2006 would bring such
a huge addition to our Zoo. We determined
that California sea lions were not the best fit
for us because: we were down to a single sea
lion; there were health benefits to a marine
system that our current system could not
accommodate; and the Zoo is already in
close proximity to wild sea lions. for quite a
while we looked for a good home for Cubby,
our single California sea lion, and we finally
found one that provided him with lots of
social opportunities. faced with an empty
exhibit space, we explored the idea of adding
penguins. The Humboldt penguin Species
Survival Plan Coordinator deemed our aquatic
space worthy, with minor adjustments, for
penguins. Typically, due to managed selective
breeding, there are limits on when birds might
be available for new facilities. It turned out that
we not only had a good facility for penguins,
but a recent group of penguins, originally
slated for another facility, needed a new home.
We quickly created a state-of-the-art penguin
exhibit.
It took significant coordination,
communication and flexibility among our
staff and the various contractors involved,
but by June first our penguins were on
exhibit. Although our original group is not
recommended for breeding due to many
related birds in the population, it has given us
a great opportunity to learn about penguin
management and to refine our exhibit.
Our penguins have been a huge hit with
our guests, and staff. Everyday our keepers
hand-feed each individual, carefully recording
how much each one eats. We created
significant management flexibility in the
exhibit and hope to accommodate breeding in
the future when needed.
The penguin project went beyond just a
renovation of the former sea lion pool. It
included a renovation of the adjacent small
pool, also formerly used by the sea lion.
New rockwork and meshing was added to
accommodate a species found with Humboldt
penguins in the wild, Inca terns. These striking
birds have added even more activity to the
area. Across the guest path renovations were
made to the coati exhibit and the Toco toucan
exhibit. Our toucans received all new meshing
and new landscaping in their exhibit.
The Zoo welcomed our 25th giant anteater
birth in 2006. As in the past, the Animal Care Ca

staff was able to confirm the pregnancy and
monitor the fetus via ultrasound. This year the
Zoo received a Significant Achievement in
Long-Term Propagation Award from the AZA,
recognizing our long history and management
contribution with the giant anteater. Like many
of our previous offspring, this latest one is
destined to be placed at another zoo.
After trying a variety of techniques, we
identified a strategy that encourages a
breeding situation for our flamingos. A portion
of shade cloth was added to an area of the
flamingo exhibit to provide just a little more
privacy to the nest area. This seemed to get
the flamingos in egg laying mode. Three viable
flamingo chicks were produced in 2006. By
applying this strategy, we anticipate even
better breeding in 2007.
Our poison dart frogs were also quite
successful at adding to their population
this year. Increasing the number of frogs on
exhibit has made it even more
challenging for our guests to
count them.
One of the most significant
additions to the Animal Care
Department has been the
addition of our new Assistant
Director of Animal Programs,
Sheri Horiszny. After a career
in marketing, Sheri decided to
pursue a career in the zoo field.
She has several years of animal
management experience
from Safari West (Santa Rosa,
CA), as well as a unique perspective that has
contributed to our Animal Care team.

n Investing in our future
In 2006 the Education Department focused on
developing a strong staff and volunteer corps
and evaluating our current and proposed
programming. We continue to strive to present
only the most outstanding experiences
designed to inspire people to save the world.
for those of you familiar with Jim Collins’
book, “Good to Great,” you know one of the
keys to becoming a great organization is
getting the right people on the bus, and
getting them in the right seats. In 2006 the
Education Department did just that by hiring
three new staff members to join our team;
Tiffany Lopez (Volunteer Coordinator), Megan
Malaska (fee-based Programs Coordinator) and
Andrea Wisniewski (School-based Programs
Coordinator). Our new team spent over
250 hours in 2006 attending professional
development trainings and conferences to
ensure we had the most current knowledge
when it came to creating exceptional and
innovative educational experiences, training
volunteers and staff, and managing a
successful Education Department.
Our mission in the Education Department
is twofold: create outstanding experiences
for our guests, and guarantee that our
programs inspire others to save the world.
Accomplishing these two goals is no easy
feat, and in 2006 the Education team spent
significant time and energy evaluating our
current and future programming to ensure
that we met our goals. As a result of our
evaluations, we will be offering more family
programming at times that work for our
audiences (new Zoo Snooze program), teen
volunteers who will play a larger role at our
Zoo, and additional support to teachers in the
way of teacher training and free classroom
curriculum. Throughout 2007 you will see the
implementation of these programs, as well as
many others, as we utilize the results from our
evaluations to create and present a number of
new programs designed to get guests excited
about the Zoo!
In August, we celebrated the end of another
successful season of Zoo Camp. More than
1,300 campers attended the Santa Barbara
Zoo’s single longest-running program,
designed to provide children with a safe, fun,
and educational way to connect with wildlife.
Online registration, excellent camp staff, and
new and unique experiences like “Ick…That’s
Gross!” helped Zoo Camp once again earn
the prestigious title of “Best Summer Camp in
Santa Barbara” by readers of the Independent
and, for the first time since 1999, also the spot
of #1 Santa Barbara Summer Camp by readers
of the Santa Barbara News-Press. Thanks to
generous grants from the Towbes foundation,
Venoco, the Santa Barbara foundation, and
charitable donations from the Dreier family
foundation and numerous others, over

100 children from Santa Barbara County
received full scholarships to participate in this
award-winning experience.
Volunteers are as much an integral part of
the Santa Barbara Zoo today as they were
when they first came together to help build
it over 40 years ago. for those inclined to
help, we have many facets of the Zoo to get
involved in. This year’s volunteers included
over 180 highschoolers as Counselors-in-
Training who helped make the Zoo Camp
experience safe and fun for campers. Nearly
450 volunteers made our 4th annual Boo at
the Zoo a spooktacular success and the largest
yet. We began Animal Care Aide and Docent
trainings in late 2006 and when these students
graduate, the total number of volunteers
ensuring the health and safety of the animals
will be more than 30, and the number of
volunteer educators sharing our message with
the public will top 25. The volunteer program
will continue to grow as the Zoo does and we
look forward to more support as the volunteer
program moves forward.
There were many successes in 2006 to
be proud of, but that doesn’t mean this
department will rest on its laurels. In 2007,
participants can expect a number of dynamic
new programs to
choose from, such as
behind-the-scenes
tours, special events,
and stage shows to
name a few. Our
volunteer staff will
grow as we invite
teens to join us in
the return of Theatre
Gone Wild and the
TEEN program, an
in-depth opportunity
for teens to gain
valuable experience at the Zoo. Zoo Camp will
be back, better than ever, with new, unique,
and age-appropriate curriculum. We are also
hard at work at developing new partnerships
with local community events, teachers, and
organizations that share our passion for
environmental education. With the support of
our community, volunteers and friends of the
Zoo, we are excited to grow our programs and
our impact in people’s lives.

The Zoo Campaign: An Update on Wild California
The first phase of The Zoo Campaign was
quite successful: in 2005, we renovated the
elephant exhibit, launched plans for Condor
Country, enhanced the Zoo’s endowment, and
began fundraising for the Discovery Pavilion
education programs. In 2006 we moved
into the second part of The Zoo Campaign:
Wild California. This phase of the campaign
represents the Zoo’s commitment to the
conservation of creatures that call California
home, especially those in the Santa Barbara
region. We are raising additional funds for
conservation education for children, families,
members, and guests.
Projects included in Wild California are:
Wild California - Conservation:• California Trails: Create a pathway
connecting a series of exhibits showcasing
the wonderful animals of California.
• Condor Country: Construct an exhibit for
California condors.
• Channel Island fox: Renovate the existing
Channel Island fox exhibit.
• Bryant & Sons Kids’ Marketplace: Transform
the gift store near the playground into
a conservation station for educational
purposes, as well as gifts.
• Desert tortoise exhibit: Create a new habitat
for the endangered desert tortoise in the
area where the current playground is.
• Los Padres National Forest exhibit: Renovate
the Desert Discovery exhibit with an
emphasis on endangered reptiles and
amphibians from Los Padres National forest.
• The Wave: While the California Trails exhibits
are being built, we will take the time to
improve guest services at the hilltop with
new restrooms, a concession area, and a
catering kitchen for special events with a
new hilltop building.
Wild California – Education:• Discovery Pavilion: Construct a new building
to house our conservation education and
volunteer programs as well as our Animal
Care and Education staff.
• Conservation Education Programs: Further
expand and enhance our award-winning
programs with the new building.
• Children’s Garden & Playground: A new
playground and garden will be created
across from the train station.
By the end of 2006 we raised over $7 million
toward our goal of $12 million, but we are far
from done. With your help, we can raise the
remaining $5 million and be able to complete
these projects, enhancing the Santa Barbara
Zoo experience for our visitors.

The Santa Barbara Zoo is grateful for the
support of its donors. As a private, nonprofit
corporation that receives no regular tax-based
funding, the Zoo relies on the donations of
individuals, corporations, and foundations to
maintain and improve its exhibits, facilities, and
programs.
The Zoo’s operating costs are funded by
admissions, memberships, concessions, and
retail sales. Therefore, donations to park
improvements are spent entirely on the
projects for which they were donated. The
following list demonstrates the scope of
community support for the Santa Barbara Zoo.

More than 500 guests enjoyed an exotic
evening of feathered delights at the
twenty-first annual Zoofari Ball: Flights of Fancy.
This year’s event sold out, and raised $75,000
to support the programs and animals at the
Santa Barbara Zoo!
Guests enjoyed spectacular cocktails and
scrumptious hors d’oeuvres on the beautifully
decorated hilltop. The silent auction featured
more than 65 items, and for the first time,
celebrity-designed birdhouses.
Viveca Paulin was the auctioneer of the
evening, and was assisted on stage by Chad
Dreier, one of the Honorary Chairs of the event.
Viveca started the crowd off by pretending to
auction off the stage! fabulous live auction
prizes followed, including the sale of two
Heads and two Tails tables to the Crawford
family, Cyndee Howard, the Dreier family
Honorary Zoofari Ball XXI Chairs Ginni and Chad
Dreier are loyal supporters of the
Zoo.

and Diana Macfarlane & friends respectively.
The Dreiers and Crawfords were also the
winners of the fabulous animal painted and
printed umbrellas, designed and fabricated
by Mark Singer, owner of Giati. The Celebrity
Cruise to Galapagos Islands was won by Lady
Ridley-Tree, and the Caymans Island Adventure
went to Cyndee Howard. The Penguin Party
was won by the Dreier family.
The tradition of naming the Zoofari Bar
continued, and Honorary Co-Chair Ginni
Dreier received the honor this year. She quickly
adjusted to her new duties as bartender, and
started serving the crowd, with previous bar
honoree Patricia Griffin assisting.
On the way to the hilltop, a friendly feather
photo opportunity awaited guests - a fine way
to remember the evening!

s The foster feeder animal sponsorship program began in 1974. In 2006,
the combined donations of the foster feeders paid for more than 77%
percent of the Zoo’s annual animal food bill.
The following list represents the deep level of commitment of the
program’s supporters.
With a keen sense of hearing and their agility
in trees, white-handed gibbons are
equipped to avoid the leopards and birds of prey who
hunt them.
