NEWS PROJECTS EDUCATION GET INVOLVED ... EXTRAS U.S. Zoo Import of African Elephants Challenged SAN DIEGO, California - Charging that the San Diego Zoo and the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida plan to import 11 wild African elephants from Swaziland in violation of U.S. and international endangered species laws, an international coalition of wildlife conservation and animal protection organizations has sent formal notice to the zoos, demanding that they surrender the federal permits authorizing the imports or face legal action. The notice, sent on March 26, challenges the import of seven elephants to
San Diego and four to Lowry Park. The 10 to 12 year old elephants are protected by both the U.S. Endangered Species Act and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The imports would mark the first time in over a decade that African elephants will be removed from the wild and sold to U.S. zoos for exhibition. Elephants currently at San Diego zoo The zoos want the young elephants for U.S. captive breeding programs that will ensure a future supply of elephants - particularly baby elephants, who are extremely popular with zoo visitors - for public exhibition, the coalition says. These captive bred elephants are not intended for reintroduction into the wild. While the San Diego Zoo is paying the modest sum of $85,000 for seven elephants, and the Lowry Zoo is paying $48,000 for four, this is an enormous amount of money in Swaziland.

EXTRAS For Immediate Release Date: April 10, 2003 Groups File Suit to Stop Wild African Elephant Import by U.S. Zoos Action Comes One Week after Federal Agency Questions Validity of Import Permits Washington, DC . . . Aiming to stop what would be the first import of wild elephants to American Zoo Association (AZA) accredited zoos in the U.S. in more than a decade, a coalition of wildlife conservation and animal protection organizations today filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the U.S. Department of Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The suit aims to overturn federal permits issued by the FWS to the Zoological Society of San Diego, CA, and the Lowry Park Zoological Society of Tampa, in FL, authorizing the import of eleven 12-year old wild African elephants from Swaziland. "The decision to allow this import is highly precedential and will encourage an international market for wild elephants to be used in exhibitions and entertainment, thus undermining protection for this threatened species," said Adam Roberts of Born Free USA. "In addition, permitting the import of these wild animals into this country poses potentially grave health and safety risks to the American public, particularly in regard to the spread of Foot-and-Mouth Disease, which African elephants are known to carry."

    San Diego Zoo celebrates another panda cub birth
    By Jeanette Steele
    STAFF WRITER August 4, 2005 And baby makes three.
    Bai Yun cuddled her newborn cub under her chin in this image taken from video. She gave birth shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday. Panda mom Bai Yun delivered her third cub just before 10 p.m. Tuesday. The cub spent most of yesterday sleeping atop its mother, who endured a three-hour labor. "That's a good sign. You know the cub is happy," Lindburg said. "I'm sure it has had a nice feed, and so its tummy is full of Mom's milk, and so it's content." Zoo officials who watched the birth looked on with the confidence of having been there before. While other U.S. zoos have lost newborn cubs or had no luck at all, San Diego has become a virtual cub-making machine. It produced the first surviving U.S.-born panda cub, Hua Mei, in 1999, and succeeded again with Mei Sheng in 2003.

    SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE It may not quite qualify as a procreative boom, but for the first time ever, the United States is home to two newborn giant pandas one on each coast. The National Zoo in Washington is ecstatic over its 3-week-old cub, a pudgy little boy born last month to the city's other first couple, giant pandas Mei Xiang and Tian Tian. His arrival ended Washington's two decades of disappointment from failed matings, still births and terminally sick babies the sad legacy of the nation's first panda pair, the late Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing. The second cub to be born this summer arrived Wednesday when the fecund Bai Yun delivered her latest progeny at the San Diego Zoo, the third offspring the 13-year-old mama has produced.

    U.S. FWS Set to Issue Illegal Import Permits over Objections of Leading African Elephant Researchers and Conservationists Washington, DC A coalition of conservation and animal advocacy groups will file suit today in U.S. District Court to invalidate U.S. Fish and Wildlife (FWS) permits authorizing the illegal import of 11 juvenile African elephants taken from the wild in Swaziland to be put on display at the San Diego Zoo and the Lowry Park Zoo of Tampa. On July 9, the FWS issued a "record of decision" indicating it will issue the permits on Friday, July 11. The conservation coalition which includes the Born Free Foundation, Born Free USA, The Elephant Alliance, the Elephant Sanctuary, In Defense of Animals, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Animal Protection Institute, Animal Welfare Institute, Animal Legal Defense Fund and San Diego Animal Advocates maintains that the permits violate the U.S. Endangered Species Act, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES), and the National Environmental Policy Act.

    Appeals Court Declines to Stop Shipment of Young African Elephants from Swaziland
    Elephants Taken from Wild to Be Confined to Small Enclosures Forever
    Washington, DC Today the United States District Court of Appeals denied an emergency appeal for a temporary stay to prevent the San Diego Zoo and Lowry Park Zoo of Tampa, FL from immediately importing eleven wild African elephants from their homes in Swaziland. The members of the Save Wild Elephants Coalition are saddened by the fate that awaits the young elephants, two of whom are pregnant. The elephants will be taken from their home in Swaziland, where they have lived on more than 7,000 acres, and will now be confined to two 2.5-acre lots in San Diego and Tampa. This importation sets a dangerous precedent and opens the floodgates for the importation of threatened species that are protected by national and international laws and treaties. Leading wild African elephant researchers and habitat experts, including Cynthia Moss, Joyce Poole, Keith Lindsey and others, have condemned the import of these elephants highlighting the devastating consequences this import will have on the individual elephants, on those left behind in Swaziland, and on African elephants in general.

    World Population
    It is estimated that between 80,000 and 90,000 American flamingos are in the wild today. A smaller population of about 500 individuals is found on the Galapagos Islands.
    Status in the wild
    The main concentration of American flamingos has declined markedly since the 1980s, when the expansion of salt mining in several nesting areas occurred. Although all American flamingo colonies receive protection, the disturbance from salt mining, drainage of land, and other human interferences, has resulted in the desertion of some nest sites. Low flying planes during the 1940s caused the desertion of the last colony on Andros, in the Bahamas where 10,000 American flamingos formally bred. As a direct result of habitat destruction, American flamingos no longer breed in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Haiti, or Colombia. Motorized tourboats are becoming an increasing problem in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. In a study done in 1997, it was found that the disturbance from the tour boats reduced the feeding time of the flamingos by 40 percent. The Galapagos population is considered especially vulnerable from natural disasters.

    The St. Petersburg Times

    "The ultimate indignity in lexicological cleaning"
    The Chicago Tribune
    DURING FEBRUARY OF 1993 , headline writers and editorial pundits across the United States lashed themselves into major conniptions of righteous outrage. New York's venerable Bronx Zoo had announced it was changing its name. The best-known animal collection in North America was no longer a zoo or even a zoological garden. It was now, of all things, a wildlife conservation park.
    The press had a grand time with the story. The zoo's longtime director, William Conway, became, in columnist William Safire's words, "an unconservative conservationist with multisyllabic pretensions." Word usage became the topic of the month.
    But the critics had missed a fundamental point. The name change was more than whimsy on Conway's part. It reflected a basic transformation not just in the way zoos do business but in their whole philosophy. For the past 25 years or so, these mostly urban institutions have positioned themselves as temporary havensor arksto breed and save the last remnants of the Earth's disappearing wildlife. Unfortunately for the zoos, however, the idea of playing Noah hasn't always lived up to expectations.

    Detroit Zoo Sends Its Elephants Packing. Should Others Follow Suit? May 27, 2004
    Detroit Zoo By Richard Farinato When you go to a zoo and follow the signs to the elephant exhibit, what you typically find is a barren and dusty dirt yard surrounded by a fence or moat. There may be artificial rocks or a dead tree trunk in the enclosure; there may even be a huge tire or an enormous ball. There will probably be some sort of pool. In their personal deserts, the elephants likely will be swaying back and forth, or standing quietly in one spot. They will look bored and numb. Some visitors will comment about the animals' lethargy. Others will yell and bang on the exhibit to get them to "do something." The harsh juxtaposition between this artificial captive setting and an elephant's real life in the wild is beginning to capture the public's imagination. It has even captured the attention of at least one zoo manager. In mid-May, the Detroit Zoo made a startling announcement: It was going end its 81-year history of exhibiting elephants. Director Ron Kagan decided to retire the zoo's two elephants, Winky and Wanda, because of animal welfare concerns; Wanda had developed chronic arthritis in her front legs, while Winky was struggling with foot problems, likely from the unnatural habit of sleeping while standing. Kagan plans to send the two Asian elephants to an as-yet-undetermined location some time this year.

    West Indian Rock Iguanas
    By: Rick Hudson
    The West Indian rock iguanas, Cyclura spp. , are a group of large, ground dwelling, herbivorous lizards that inhabit Caribbean islands throughout the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas. There are eight species with a total of 16 recognized taxa, including subspecies. Rock iguanas inhabit fragile ecosystems and most have suffered greatly over the years because of man's activities and introduced animals. All 16 taxa are currently protected under Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES); three are listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the rest are listed as threatened. A more accurate assessment of the state of the iguanas is their classification under the new International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categories; IUCN has recently classified all but four taxa as either critical or endangered. Today, West Indian rock iguanas are recognized as the world's most endangered group of lizards, with several species verging on extinction. Zoos have long been concerned with the plight of these impressive dinosaur-like lizards. However, only recently has a coordinated effort been made to protect rock iguanas.

U.S. Zoos Launch Major Effort to Import Wild Elephants Faced with early deaths, unsuccessful captive breeding programs and the prospect that their elephant "collections" will die out over the next 50 years, U.S. zoos have launched a major effort to restock by importing young elephants from Africa and Asia. Zoos condemn elephants - many captured from the wild - to a life of captivity under conditions that do not come close to approximating life in the wild for these complex and intelligent animals.
    IDA has been at the forefront of efforts to stop the zoos' import plans so that endangered and threatened elephants remain with their families in the wild where they belong. These efforts have included a successful lawsuit to prevent the Six Flags amusement park company from importing two baby Asian elephants to a Northern California amusement park. here to read more about the elephant capture.
