Dear Friends,
The Cleveland Zoological Society is continuously seeking ways to serve the community and advance
the Zoo, rom running one o the biggest and best membership programs in the region to generating
steady unding or educational access programs that reach thousands o underserved children.
In 2008, we celebrated 10 years o our historic operating agreement with Cleveland Metroparks, which
ormalized the Zoo Societys nancial support or the wonderul asset that is the Zoo. In those 10
years, the Zoo Society has provided $15 million to the Zoo in operating support, making possible such
signature programs as the ZooBus and Distance Learning, while also encouraging other educational
outreach and wildlie conservation programs to develop, grow and thrive.
This private/public partnership allows the Zoo to dream boldly and to move orward condently. In
the past 10 years thanks to generous donors rom all walks o lie the Zoo Society has stepped
up commitments or capital improvements, including signicant money raised or Astraan Aventre
(2000), the Sarah Ason Steffee Center for Zooogca Mecne (2004) and the currently under construction
Afrcan Eephant Crossng (2011).
The Zoo is a successul leader in local and international wildlie conservation programs, thanks to the winning
combination o its dedicated, expert sta and the Zoo Societys nancial commitment. Funding or these programs
now averages $350,000 annually in special grants distributed to individuals working to preserve wildlie in wild
places in Northeast Ohio and around the globe.
While the economic downturn o 2008 presented challenges or the Zoo Society, as it did or many not-or-prot
organizations, we are happy to report that we are weathering the storm, thanks to lean and ecient practices, and
a very generous community that sees the value o having one o our nations best zoos right here in Cleveland.
The Zoo/Zoo Society partnership is a unique relationship working to enhance conservation, education and animal
care or the next generation o scientists, visitors and animals. Thank you or your continued support.

2008 Scott Neotropca Fn Grant Recpents
Through the generous support o the Scott Neotropical Fund, the Zoo and Zoo Society have
committed more than $500,000 over the past 10 years or programs that make a dierence
in the neotropics (Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean). In 2008
alone, 12 projects were supported by the Fund.
The money, donated to the Zoo Society, is distributed through small grants chosen by
the Zoos Conservation & Science sta. Funded projects benet the local people, wildlie
and habitats o the neotropics and range rom endangered sea turtle conservation in the
Caribbean to disease transmission studies o primates in Argentina.
While these grants are making a dierence abroad, the Zoo Society plays an important role
or our local constituents, raising awareness o key conservation issues. A robust schedule o
behind-the-scenes tours orZooKeepers Circle members connects supporters with curators,
keepers and important initiatives designed to improve the uture or wildlie. And, thanks to
a specially designated und, each year the Zoo Society hosts a signature event, the David
Steffee Address, which ocuses on emerging trends in conservation and veterinary medicine.
In 2008, Dr. William Karesh spoke about One World, One Health and shared insights about
the intersection o animal and human health. Dr. Karesh leads the global health programs o
the Wildlie Conservation Society as Vice President o the Wildlie Health Center, located on
the grounds o the Bronx Zoo.

Partnering for the Future of Elephants
The Afrcan Eephant Crossng project achieved several important milestones in 2008, including groundbreaking, environmentally
appropriate handling o the demolition and construction waste, and several complex animal moves. This exhibit will be one o themost visible and impressive exhibits ever built at the Zoo and will enhance the quality o lie in Northeast Ohio through education
and tourism.
On September 24, the Zoo and Zoo Society broke ground on the $25-million exhibit. At that time, the Zoo Society presented its rst
contribution to the project $2 million to the Cleveland Metroparks Commissioners.
By the end o 2008, the Zoo Society had raised $10.3 million or Afrcan Eephant Crossng. A $500,000 git rom The Cleveland
Foundation and a $300,000 git rom the Kent H. Smith Charitable Trust helped bring the total amount raised or the campaign to
80% o the campaign goal. The campaign has already seen more than 400 oundations, corporations and individuals donate to the
project, which is more than any other capital campaign in Zoo Society history.
The project is also now ormally registered or LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certication with the U.S.
Green Building Council. The exhibit will be a test case or greening a space used jointly by humans and animals. It will provide a
creative opportunity to increase public awareness o alternative energy, sustainable use and green-collar careers.
Meanwhile, the Zoo relocated its beloved Nile hippopotamus to an o-exhibit retirement condo and
transerred its three emale Arican elephants to the Columbus Zoo or the duration o construction.
It is no small eat to move large mammals saely, and we celebrate with the Zoo on achieving these
major milestones in the midst o a very busy year.
Locally and globally, eorts are being made to secure the uture or elephants. The Zoo Society
brought in television star and animal advocate Je Corwin to present Tales rom the Field to
ZooKeepers Circle members in August. Je awed the crowd with stories about lming in exotic
countries and working with rare and endangered animals. While visiting, Je taped a public
service announcement about the importance o Afrcan Eephant Crossng or elephants in zoos
and their cousins in the wild. You may see his message at ClevelandZooSociety.org.

Partnering for the Future of the Zoo
InMemoriamBobSnead(1922-2008); and Jinny(1924-2008)
Partnering throughTechnology & InnovationAs technology advances, there are more and more ways to partner or the uture o the Zoo. The Zoo
Society is committed to making it easier (and more un!) to support your Zoo, and in 2008 introduced twonew electronic Donation Stations. One is located in The RanForest, with unds supporting a variety o
rain orest conservation projects. The second is in the Exhibit Hall, with unds supporting Afrcan Eephant
Crossng. These Donation Stations were made possible by a challenge grant rom The Fred A. Lennon
Charitable Trust, paired with matching unds rom The William J. and Dorothy K. ONeill Foundation.
Technology has also allowed the Zoo Society to take membership renewals, ticket purchases and
donations on the Zoo Societys Web site. In 2008, our Web site reached the $1-million mark thats $1
million raised online in one year! This signicant achievement is a testament to the Zoo Societys many
generous supporters thank you!
When Jinny and Bob Snead purchased a generous lie insurance policy beneting the Cleveland
Zoological Society, they knew how they wanted their git to be used in support o our conservation
mission. A particular interest o the Sneads during their lietime was reaching children particularlythose who otherwise might not have access to the Zoo. By making such a special git to the Zoo Society,
this generous couple ensured that their love o animals and concern or underserved children will live
on in perpetuity. The Jinny and Bob Snead Fund, as part o the Zoo Societys ZooFutures Fund, will be
used to strengthen and support our core mission, with a special ocus on Education Access a cluster
o programs and scholarships that each year enables thousands o needy children to experience the Zoo
and its great conservation science education.
Named Funds may be established through a bequest or outright git o $250,000 or more to the
ZooFutures Fund o the Cleveland Zoological Society. Gits o any amount are always welcome, and are
used to strengthen and support our conservation mission.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo conservationists
were especially grateul in 2008 ater
rescuing a critically endangered turtle that
was presumed dead ater being washed away
in a food in northern Vietnam.
The 150-pound Swinhoes sot-shell turtle
(Rafetus swinhoei), which is the only known
living specimen o its kind in the wild, was
rst discovered by experts Doug Hendrie
and Tim McCormack with the Zoos Asian
Turtle Program.
The Swinhoes turtle is the largest reshwater
turtle in the world and was thought to have
been extinct in the wild until the Zoos
discovery. Three others o the species remain
in captivity, including two at a zoo in China
and one in the Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi.
The Asian Turtle Program is a special
conservation program unded by the
Cleveland Zoological Society, in partnership
