When we reworked the ZACC logo several years ago and were looking for the perfect tagline to express what ZACC was, it was Anne who found just the right words: “Inspire-Connect-Act” And so began Anne's commitment to ZACC as she helped to shape and move us forward with her practical approach and willingness to give of her time. Anne was there, Lisa Dabek was there (another one of those early pioneers, where Lisa went in situ conservation went), Rebecca Rose, and me, Beth Armstrong and I believe Marc Ancrenaz was with us as well. Anne knew that long before many in the zoo world had even an inkling of the concept.Īt the 1999 ZACC conference during an informal lunch, a small group of us decided to form the ZACC Steering Committee - as a hedge against the very real possibility that the message of ZACC could be lost in the translation by others.

She was a pioneer, one of that handful of zoo people in the 1990’s who just said “Right, lets just get on with it.” Support of in situ conservation was not an option for Anne, it was who we were and are as zoos – she understood it was our most important, powerful and defining characteristic as zoological institutions.

At Oakland Zoo, then Oregon Zoo, as interim director of PASA, as a consultant to field education projects all over the world, her steady influence grew over the years. Wherever she went a commitment to conservation also went and was established, nurtured, took root and grew. When she spoke of her children and especially when speaking of her grandchildren her smile simply illuminated her face, radiating unequivocal love, and coupled with her smile was that unique twinkle in her eye, exclusive only to Anne. Thank you for being a part of the wonderfully supportive and resourceful ZACC community.īeth Armstrong – ZACC Utah’s Hogle Zoo & Tracy AviaryĪnne Warner: It is with great sadness that that we announce the passing of our friend and colleague Anne Warner - a member of the ZACC Steering Committee 1999-2018. Anne was many things to many people - wife, mother, beloved Nana. The ZACC conference will continue, and we all look forward to being together again to share our common passion for protecting and restoring our one and only planet. We ask for your patience as we work through all of the logistics for the refunds.
