Eba has a nose for conservation. This very good girl is specially trained to sniff out killer whale fecal matter off the coast of the Pacific Northwest that is collected by researchers at Wild Orca and shipped to San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance's Reproductive Science team for further analysis. By studying hormone levels found in the samples, scientists can learn more about whale health, reproduction, and behavior to better inform conservation efforts in the ocean. #internationaldogday #collaborativeconservation #sandiegozoowildlifealliance

Last year, when the Olinda fire arrived at the front doorstep of the Maui Bird Conservation Center, our own Jennifer Pribble did her best to control the flames until firefighters arrived. The U.S. Department of Interior has presented her and more than two dozen firefighters from the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife with its Citizens Award for Exceptional Service. Thank you, Jennifer, and each firefighter whose dedicated and sustained efforts protected the Maui Bird Conservation Center, its passionate people, and the endangered Hawaiian forest birds who the team works hard every day to safeguard their future. Through your selfless acts, you have made it possible for the conservation work inside to continue. Together, we share the goal of one day seeing these beautiful and culturally significant birds safely return to their forest homes. https://lnkd.in/dk2nhDaG

Enter the world of giant pandas 🐼. Step into the newly designed Panda Ridge at the San Diego Zoo and find yourself immersed in a bamboo forest, transported into the world of China's giant pandas. Inspiration for these habitats is drawn from the giant pandas’ native habitats in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi provinces. Their newly expanded and naturalistic spaces feature lush grasses and trees, climbing structures, and a water feature, offering a glimpse into the world of these iconic bears. Panda Ridge reflects our ongoing commitment to conservation and education, providing an immersive experience for visitors while promoting awareness of our panda conservation efforts. We cannot wait for you to experience Panda Ridge for yourself! Read more about Panda Ridge here: https://lnkd.in/gDSJ94cv. #pandaridge #giantpandas #conservation #SanDiegoZoo

It was an honor to have Chip with us for several months as we prepared for the arrival of Yun Chuan and Xin Bao. Bringing giant pandas to San Diego was no easy task. It required hard work, meticulous planning, and (more than a little) optimism. An amazing example of this, and my favorite callout from this article, is our task force that we brought to life to help us identify all risks to achieving our goal and then working as a team to make miracles happen. That level of detail and dedication was crucial to the success of our plan. Enjoy this inside look at what it took to open Panda Ridge. https://lnkd.in/gEp2bs5W
