<strong>2011</strong> <strong>ANNUAL</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong><br />
Her Lair Above the Cliffs<br />

FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />
The many achievements of the <strong>Catalina</strong> <strong>Island</strong> <strong>Conservancy</strong> in <strong>2011</strong> to restore and sustain healthy and<br />
vital wildlands have been the direct result of a strong and self-reliant organization, one boldly moving<br />
forward with the visionary Imagine <strong>Catalina</strong> Strategic Plan. We are proud to share with you our financial<br />
outcomes for the past calendar year with the publication of this Annual Report.<br />
The significant gains for the <strong>Island</strong>’s emblematic species – fox, bison, and eagle – were unprecedented,<br />
and as heartening for the <strong>Island</strong>’s ecological future as the discovery and rediscovery of plant species on<br />
the <strong>Island</strong>:<br />
• The <strong>Catalina</strong> <strong>Island</strong> fox, on the brink of extinction with an estimated 100 individuals at the century’s<br />
outset from an outbreak of canine distemper, has recovered in numbers greater than the historic,<br />
recorded level. About 1,300 animals were recorded before the outbreak; the estimated population at<br />
the end of <strong>2011</strong> was 1,542. The <strong>Island</strong>-wide recovery of this endemic animal through the <strong>Conservancy</strong>’s<br />
efforts has been an international ecological success story.<br />
• The contraception program to limit the number of bison to near an <strong>Island</strong>-sustainable 150 reached its<br />
goal as <strong>Conservancy</strong> biologists counted only five calves born in <strong>2011</strong>, as opposed to 29 the previous year.<br />
• Another iconic resident of <strong>Catalina</strong>’s wildlands, the bald eagle, again as in 2010, hatched nine chicks<br />
unaided by biologists.<br />
• This year saw the discovery of the stream orchid on <strong>Catalina</strong>; rediscovery of the federally endangered<br />
Lyon’s pygmy daisy, which had not been seen on <strong>Catalina</strong> since 1931; and the conclusion by the scientific<br />
community that the Santa <strong>Catalina</strong> <strong>Island</strong> bush mallow is genetically unique, bringing the tally for<br />
<strong>Catalina</strong>’s endemic plants to seven.<br />
Also during <strong>2011</strong>, the <strong>Conservancy</strong> Education Department’s intensified outreach programs reached 12<br />
times more students and naturalist trainees in <strong>2011</strong> than in 2010. For the first time in the <strong>Conservancy</strong>’s<br />
history, art was added as an interpretive and outreach vehicle. This led to successful exhibits featuring<br />
photography in <strong>Catalina</strong>: The Wildlands at Your Doorstep at the G2 Gallery in Venice, plein air paintings<br />
by renowned artists in the maiden presentation of the <strong>Catalina</strong>: The Wild Side Art Show and Sale in<br />
Avalon, and a new <strong>Conservancy</strong> collection of plein air art featuring <strong>Catalina</strong> naturescapes now on exhibit<br />
at the Nature Center at Avalon Canyon.<br />
The Imagine <strong>Catalina</strong> Strategic Plan with William McDonough + Partners during <strong>2011</strong> is already at work<br />
guiding the <strong>Conservancy</strong>’s course as it will through future decades, building on our accomplishments.<br />
In the first part of 2012, we are already implementing the plan by purchasing the Catherine Hotel as<br />
the site of the <strong>Conservancy</strong>’s future Avalon visitor center, designing and launching a Mobile Nature<br />
Station to serve guests at Two Harbors and elsewhere, and developing an exciting new site plan for the<br />
rehabilitated and relocated Eagle’s Nest Lodge.<br />
These highlights of <strong>2011</strong> represent remarkable strides in a banner year. You’re an important reason for<br />
our accomplishments, so please join us as we look forward to more success in the coming years.<br />
