NOTES FROM THE FIELD |

A Helping Hand - Tortoise image

A splash into a
babbling stream, a call echoing from high above, and a
rustle through grassy
brush-these sights and sounds ground us in
our
surrounding world.
When we immerse ourselves in nature, we're reminded
of an undeniable
truth: people, wildlife, and the ecosystems we all
share are inextricably
connected. Yet many species face growing
challenges that inch
them closer to disappearing altogether, disrupting
the balance of our
planet.
With your support,
conservation scientists are making remarkable strides
in reversing these
trends. Together with our partners, we reintroduce
wildlife into their
native habitats while equipping them with the skills
they need to thrive.
In the Southwest, we're giving Mojave
desert
tortoises a head
start by caring for them until they're big
enough to
survive on their own.
Thousands of miles away across
the Pacific
Ocean,
the same innovative
method is helping critically endangered aga (Mariana
crows) on the island
of Rota.

Through our expertise
in wildlife care
and conservation,
we've introduced over 44 species back into their
native landscapes
across the globe. These efforts help
restore necessary and
delicate balance while
securing the future
for vulnerable and endangered wildlife through our
eight
Conservation Hubs.
Each reintroduction milestone is a step
toward
a brighter and more
sustainable future-and you make it all
possible. We
are forever grateful
for you.

HOPE TAKES FLIGHT
Black, beaked figures
swoop through Maui's dense, lush tropical
forest-a
moment that seems
ordinary at first glance. But these are ?alal?,
and
they've been
extinct in the wild for over 20 years. Today, through a
groundbreaking
reintroduction program in collaboration with our
conservation partners
in Hawai?i, five ?alal? soar once again,
reclaiming their place
in the islands' ecosystems.

COASTAL COMEBACK
For years,
conservationists believed Pacific pocket mice were extinct.
That changed in 1993,
when a small population was rediscovered. Since
2012, we've been
reintroducing them to the sandy coastal scrublands of
Southern California
through a conservation breeding program
headquartered at the
San
Diego Zoo Safari
Park. Last year, we
established a new
population in a new area-a crucial step in
reconnecting this
species with the landscapes where they once
flourished.

SHARING EXPERTISE
The Amazon is the
world's largest tropical forest and is crucial to the
health of ecosystems
everywhere. Discover more about the biodiversity
hotspot referred to as
the "lungs of the planet" when you join us to
celebrate Wild
Weekend: Amazonia
at the San
Diego Zoo. On
April 19
and 20, swing in to
explore how we're saving and protecting unique
wildlife across the
Amazon, and how you're making it all possible
through our Amazonia
Conservation Hub.

LOST AND FOUND
Plant species need
reintroduction efforts, too. For many plants,
this
process starts with
preserving seeds and other materials that can later
be revived and grown.
That's exactly what scientists are doing in our
Native
Plant Gene
Bank-one of the six subcollections within our
Wildlife
Biodiversity Bank.
Because of wildlife allies like you, we're
safeguarding vital
botanical variety and restoring hope for the future.
