Audubon Nature InstituteAnnual Report 20151
For all of us as Audubon Nature
Institute members, supporters
and employees, 2015 was a
landmark year, both beginning
and ending with the kind of
inspirational endangered
species stories we love.
We began in January with the
release of 28 sea turtles into
the warm and welcoming
waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
These cold-stunned turtles were
rehabilitated here at Audubon
thanks to your support of
Audubon’s rescue and
rehabilitation initiatives.
As the year drew to a close,
you celebrated with us as
Audubon Zoo’s endangered
orangutans took up residence
in their new exhibit, with
From the President

features for climbing, swinging,
exploring and watching the
world from one of the tallest
points in the Zoo.
In between, we celebrated
so much together—the 25th
anniversary of Audubon
Aquarium of the Americas,
births and hatchings of
precious new wildlife, events
that enriched our community
and programs that educated
our children.
Our partnership with you
created wonders across the
city and around the world,
as our collaborations brought
nature to life in vivid color
and full dimension—sights and
sounds with far more lasting
impact than anything our
children could ever see on an
electronic screen.
Along the way, you enabled
us to grow a legacy for
the future, both in brick
and mortar projects and in
enduring commitment to our
children, our wildlife, and the
environment we call home.
Please join me in looking back
at the incredible year you
made possible. From all of us
at Audubon Nature Institute,
thank you for being part of the
Audubon family.
Sincerely,
L. Ronald FormanPresident and CEOAudubon Nature Institute

“These direct, unstructured experiences in nature will have a far-reaching impact on children as adults, inspiring an enduring conservation ethic.”
Brenda Walkenhorst Audubon Nature Institute Director of Education Projects
EDUCATION
Whether they came to Audubon
attractions or Audubon came to
them via our popular outreach
vehicles (ZOOmobile, Wetlands
Express, Bugmobile and AquaVan),
thousands of children, students
and families took part in Audubon
education programs in 2015.
Audubon’s family of donors
enabled us to extend our reach
with energized and imaginative
programs that drew people from all
around our area. These expanded
offerings sowed seeds for future
careers, as youngsters eagerly
jumped into science, technology
and conservation concepts while
nurturing a lifelong love of nature.
Wine and cheese gatherings and
photography classes inspired the
grown-ups to look at our world in a
whole new way. Adventures out in
thefieldincludedbugcollecting
and nature walks.
Programsforschoolsonfieldtrips
included Shark School and Jungle
School. Anyone for a shark dissection
class? Young conservationists and
seasoned nature experts eagerly
embraced it all.

CONSERVATION
A hyacinth macaw hatched at Audubon Zoo on July 8, 2015. The Zoo’s Bird Department staff hand-raised the little chick as the parents were inexperienced and unable to properly care for it.
Today’s conservation is dynamic,
bursting with ideas splashed
throughout the world via social
media platforms, games and mobile
phone apps. Audubon Nature
Institute dives into all of is right along
with you.
Together, we are leaders in
conservation programs effecting
meaningfulchange,fightingto
secure the future of wildlife.
From efforts right here in New
Orleans to projects on the ground
(andinthewater)infar-flungcorners
of our globe, Audubon leads and
challenges others (including you!) to
do the same, giving back through
web-based and hands-on initiatives,
bringing Louisiana and the world
together through the generosity of
friends and supporters like you. These
projects make a tangible difference
for wildlife and give us hope.

There’s just something about our
local culture—it’s unlike any you’ll
findanywhereelseintheworld.
And, it has quite a bit to do with
our inherent natural wonders,
our fascinating wildlife, and our
incredible seafood.
Audubon Nature Institute made
conservation fun and tasty with Gulf
United for Lasting Fisheries (G.U.L.F.).
Anewapphelpsyoufindthe
freshest, most sustainable seafood to

Restaurant partners multiplied in
2015 as G.U.L.F. recruited more
New Orleans eateries to serve and
support sustainable seafood, while
an intimate dinner at the Aquarium
showcased G.U.L.F. partner chefs
and featured the best sustainable
seafood the Gulf of Mexico has
to offer. These dinners are set to
continue and expand in 2016.

Six endangered Mississippi sandhill
cranes hatched at Audubon Nature
Institute and were released at the
Mississippi Sandhill Crane National
Wildlife Refuge in Gautier, MS.

Kemp’s ridley sea turtle swam back
into the sea near Grand Isle after
being rehabilitated by Audubon
Nature Institute.
The Zoo’s orangutans celebrated
Orangutan Caring Week in their
new, expanded exhibit featuring
a waterfall and a 45-foot climbing
pole to take in the world.
Audubon Zoo veterinary staff
released a brown pelican into
the wild after treating the bird for
exposure to an oily substance it
encountered in the Gulf of Mexico.

“When I see kids get excited about animals, it is a moment of deep satisfaction. If they’re excited, that means there’s a chance for animals.”
Joe Forys, Audubon Zoo Curator of Large Mammals
CONSERVATION
Animals are the heart of Audubon
Nature Institute. When you
encounter the wonder of a newly-
hatched penguin or newborn baby
colobus monkey, or vote on a name
for the Aquarium’s new resident
white alligator (Chompitoulas,
overwhelmingly!), you know your
partnership with Audubon is doing
great things.
Together we reminisce about how
many of us grew up with the animals
at the Zoo and the Aquarium.
Today, we all delight in watching
our children and grandchildren
develop that same sense of joy and
stewardship. The animals who call
Audubon home are ambassadors to
the next generation of naturalists.
Thegentleflutterofabutterfly
and the incredible brilliance of
the world’s frogs fascinate our
youngest conservationists, inspiring
confidencethatourworktogether
has delivered the planet’s future to
excellent hands.

COMMUNITY
13
14
The Audubon family of donors and
supporters moves our community
forward. This community is made
of partnerships and programs,
but it also encompasses picnics
in Audubon Park or festivals at
Woldenberg Riverfront Park. Our
community is up-close penguin
encounters for youngsters with
special challenges and a day just for
Mom with Irma Thomas at the Zoo.
Community at Audubon means
relaxing concerts, challenging
runs, and volunteering. It means
partying with a purpose at the
elegant Whitney Zoo-To-Do and
family-oriented Zoo-To-Do for Kids
presented by Tulane Pediatrics—or
strolling in the evening breeze along
the riverfront enjoying Scales & Ales
and Toast for the Coast.
Community includes volunteer
experiences for youngsters that
could easily lead to an entire lifetime
of service volunteering at Audubon
or elsewhere in the community.
These events and initiatives weave
the fabric of our unique family,
speaking to the essence of who
we are, and how we will shape our
future. It’s all thanks to you.

“Happy 25th birthday Audubon Aquarium of the Americas! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and it remains one of my favorite things about NOLA.”
Review by Ashley J. of Austin, Texas, on Yelp.com
NOTABLE NEWS
The Aquarium Turns 25
Where were you on Labor Day in
1990? If you were like thousands of
others, you were at the opening
of Audubon Aquarium of the

the Aquarium in 2015 reconnected
Audubon with old friends and

OUR FUTURE
“Audubon Nature Institute has a vital role to play in making sure that parents know how to expose their children to a globalized scientific literacy that is not available at almost any school anymore. And that can only happen by taking a small child to the Zoo and letting them be fascinated by the flamingos.”
George Trumbull, Trumbull Family Foundation

Thanks to your partnership, there
will be a lot of activity at Audubon
attractions and facilities continuing
through the coming years. Together,
we’ll set the stage for decades of
growth and progress for our families,
our visitors, our cherished wildlife
and the incomparable natural
wonders that make our home so
special. We’re delighted you are
with us on this journey, as we work
to accomplish great things for our
children and the planet’s wildlife.

Audubon Nature Institute is grateful to all donors, members and visitors
who support our vision of creating an outstanding family of museums
and parks dedicated to nature. Audubon receives virtually no city, state
or federal funding for operations, relying instead on front gate admission,
concessions and gift shop sales, facility rentals and the generous gifts
from friends who help provide world-class adventures to more than
2 million visitors each year.
