Zoological Parks Authority ANNUAL REPORT 2012 Our vision is a world where diversity of species and habitats is secure Our purpose is to inspire and act for wildlife conservation Perth Zoo is one of the most visited zoos in Australia on a per capita basis with over 640,000 visitors in 2011‐12. A primary visitor destination in Western Australia, we have opened every day since we began operating on 17th October 1898. The Zoo’s work includes conservation activities, education programs, public awareness campaigns, research and threatened species breeding programs. The revenue from our commercial activities, including admissions, concerts, catering, retail shop, and seminar and function room hire, all contribute to delivering the Zoo’s services. Perth Zoo is the largest non-formal education provider in the State, delivering a suite of conservation education programs with a strong emphasis on sustainability. We are home to around 1237 animals of 176 different species including local and other Australian species and exotic species identified regionally and globally as priority species for the Asian, African and South American regions. The Zoo is recognised globally for its conservation and breeding programs with a successful track record breeding native Western Australian animals for release into the wild. Over 2000 animals have been bred for release in conjunction with the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). Our veterinarians, skilled in wildlife health, make a major contribution to conservation medicine, providing advice and research on wildlife disease. Our expertise in small population management and intensive species management is also extremely beneficial when working with critically endangered species where only small numbers remain. Perth Zoo is part of a global network of zoos and aquariums and a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) and the regional Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA). Animal breeding and transfers are managed through these networks to ensure the maintenance of world fauna diversity. 2
