This year, your support helps the zoo achieve the standard of excellence that ensures our community will continue to learn, care, and act on behalf of wild animals and wild places through our incredible All-Star Zoo.

From the diminutive Partula snail and poison dart frog to the magnificent African lion and impressive brown bear, our animal ambassadors connect people – especially children – to nature and help them learn how to share the world with wildlife. Their lives and habitats inspire engaging experiences that create more wonder for our community and more wild for our world.

It is Woodland Park Zoo’s mission and responsibility to leave thriving ecosystems for current and future generations to enjoy and protect. With your generous support, we can achieve that in many significant ways, including:

• CaringforourAnimalAll-Stars – your support underwrites world-class care for 1,100 animals and helps bring new animals such as Asian bears to the zoo

• ConnectingHumanAll-StarsWithNature – Support children of all ages by bringing the wonder of wildlife into their lives through a week of camp at the zoo, filled with up-close encounters with animal ambassadors of all shapes and sizes

• SavingAnimalAll-StarsintheWild – Support animal ambassadors representing more than 60 endangered or threatened species and help strengthen more than 35 field conservation projects in 50 countries whose wildlife conservation solutions are creating a lasting impact

28Animal All-Stars Magnum Set

Woodland Park Zoo has partnered with DeLille Cellars and Fresh Northwest Design to create a one-of-a-kind artist collection of five etched 2007 Doyenne Syrah magnums. Rand Sealy of Review of Washington Wines calls it “a delicious Old World style Syrah…The red/dark fruit flavors dance on the palate and glide over the back, intermixed with minerals, milk chocolate, loamy earth and coffee grounds, followed by a lingering, toasty white pepper, anise and coriander finish.” The value is clearly in the taste but also in the beautiful etching of the magnums, as Northwest Design’s highly-skilled artisans designed this series to reflect our 35th annual Jungle Party’s All-Star animals: the gray wolf, red-ruffed lemur, keel-billed toucan, sun bear and gorilla. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to take home one of these limited, one-of-a-kind series with you the night of Jungle Party!
