Dear Ally for Wildlife,

you've made possible for wildlife in San Diego and across the globe.
You've given us so many reasons to celebrate. You've been there for
exciting conservation milestones
[link removed]
, innovative solutions
[link removed]
to help wildlife, new additions to our family
[link removed]
that offer hope for the future of their species, and so much more
[link removed]
. This year, Denny Sanford Wildlife Explorers Basecamp
[link removed]
at the San Diego Zoo opened its doors to the world, inspiring the
next generation of conservationists. And, the San Diego Zoo Safari
Park
[link removed]
celebrated its 50th anniversary all year long, marking half a century
of life-changing moments, innovation, and impact. Most importantly, at
the heart of it all, we're celebrating you.
You make it all possible. Each and every day, your continued support
makes a world of difference for wildlife, for people, and for the
planet we all share. You're by our side all year long, for the special
moments and the everyday work, as we pursue a world where all life

heartwarming highlights that we experienced together this year!

A KOALA'S BEST FRIEND
Across the vast, rugged landscape of Australia's Greater Blue
Mountains, an unlikely hero is making a big difference in koala
[link removed]
conservation. Dogs trained to sniff scat are helping locate koalas
and identify their habitats after the devastating 2020
wildfires-including in a region so fire-ravaged it was uncertain
if koalas had even survived. Mapping their populations is key to
protecting these Australian icons, and you make these critical
conservation efforts possible. Discover how you're saving wildlife
"Down Under" through our Australian Forest Conservation Hub.

Helping Lucas

A WINNING WADDLE
New shoes are always exciting. For Lucas, an African penguin at the
San Diego Zoo
[link removed]
, they're lifesaving. Lucas has bumblefoot, a degenerative foot
condition that causes uncomfortable sores and puts his health at risk.
Today, he has a new opportunity to thrive. Through a collaborative
effort made possible by your support, we were able to create and fit
Lucas with custom orthopedic shoes. Protecting his feet will help
improve his mobility, so he can navigate his rocky habitat with
greater ease. Thanks to allies like you, wildlife like Lucas get a
second chance to thrive, and live a full and healthy life.

Hatching Hope
[link removed]
CONSERVATION TAKES FLIGHT
The next generation of chicks is bringing hope for these critically
endangered Hawaiian honeycreepers. As increasing temperatures caused
by climate change bring mosquitos into higher elevations of Kaua'i's
mountain forests, avian malaria is threatening the survival of
'akikiki-and only 40 of these birds remain in native habitats.
With your support, we're working to save these small
songbirds-and this year, we were able to rescue one of the last
'akikiki
[link removed]
and bring it to safety. Over the summer, we welcomed new chicks into
our successful breeding program at San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance's
Maui Bird Conservation Center. Explore how you're making a difference
for 'akikiki and other vulnerable wildlife through our Pacific Islands
Conservation Hub.

FIND YOUR MOMENT
Join us by watching the 134th Rose Parade live from Pasadena on
January 2, as we celebrate 50 years of life-changing moments,
innovation, and conservation impact at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
[link removed]
With its theme "Celebrating 50 Years of Conservation," our float
brings to life the Safari Park's iconic Wildlife Safari experience and
some very special wildlife-including two new additions to our
family with heartwarming stories of their own.
Leading the charge is southern white rhino Neville-the third
"little" miracle born at the Safari Park's Nikita Kahn Rhino Rescue
Center. The four-month-old is important to rhino conservation, and his
birth is an enormous step forward in our efforts to save his cousin,
the critically endangered northern white rhino-of which only two
remain on Earth.
[link removed]
Standing tall at the back of the float is Msituni, a giraffe calf who
was unable to walk when she was born in February of this year. With
around-the-clock wildlife care, cutting-edge veterinary science, and
several pairs of custom giraffe-sized orthotic braces, she's made a
full recovery. Today, she can be seen galloping gracefully across the
African savannas at the Safari Park.
[link removed]
Msituni and Neville embody the miraculous conservation and innovation
that happens at the Safari Park every single day. You make these
moments of hope and inspiration possible-visit the Safari Park
this holiday season to find your moment.
