Happy New Year everyone and welcome to Episode 95 of 50Talk. This week we have a quick visit from "Wolverine" on the show and a wife (Cathy) eating breakfast while we record. Aside from all that craziness we have a pretty good show for you guys this week. We hope you all celebrated bringing in the New Year safely and with loved ones or at least the people you want to be in your life for 2024. Cathy and I kept it pretty chill this year. I don't think I had a drink all day and that's cool with me. I enjoy ringing in a new year with my lovely Cathy. This may be our 30th New Year with each other. This past weekend we took a family trip to the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo with our son and Grandson. On the way I stopped and got gas and I have got to thank our President Joe Biden for the gas being $2.19. I know he doesnt get credit for anything good in this country but Victor really appreciates you Mr. President. Even though he has nothing to do with the price of gas. We watched the new Netflix Stand-up Comedy show from Dave Chappelle this past weekend and it was another great hour of Dave Chappelle doing comedy the way only he can do. The show is called The Dreamer and it very entertaining and funny but I know some people ay be offended but we both enjoyed it. We also watched a Documentary from Alexandra Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi's daughter) called The Insurrectionists Next Door. While it was very entertaining  at the same time it is scary as hell that their are people in this country that think the way these people think even after they have been charged with felonies and are about to be sent to prison. Shit this is just America so when you are out their living your life be careful out there because  people out and about think just like these crazies. Cathy came with some "What is" questions that all made me sit back and think about them really seriously. She never fails to get this old head thinking about life and emotions and just being aware of things. Thank you all for joining us this week. We hope you will continue to support us by listening to our show through out 2024. We will see you all next week.

A recent birth of a baby gorilla at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo--the first in their 139 year history--has focused the community's attention on the plight of the Western lowland gorilla, a critically endangered species. The zoo has used this as an opportunity to raise awareness about and financial support for the conservation work they do around the globe, and specifically with gorilla populations in Africa.rnrnThe future of zoos in America is increasingly as focused on wildlife conservation around the globe as it is on providing local visitors with an opportunity to encounter the animal kingdom. With a complicated historical legacy and a commitment to ecological stewardship, zoo leaders have their work cut out for them in the 21st century. At the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, leaders are learning how to do this through their work with primates.rnrnExecutive Director of the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo since 2012, Chris Kuhar has devoted a great deal of his career to work with primates, previously serving as the zoo's Curator of Primates and Small Mammals, and as Research Manager at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Kuhar has also served as Chair of the Board for the Association of Zoos and Aquarium.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and CrossCountry Mortgage are inviting the public to help choose a name for the first gorilla born at the zoo in its 139-year history. The naming opportunity not only will help the male gorilla, born October 26, settle into his home at the zoo but also supports conservation of the critically endangered species in the wild. Participants can cast votes online by making a financial contribution for any of three names at FutureForWildlife.org/gorillanaming or by voting in person at the gorilla habitat at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. The three name finalists include: Bakari, “One who will succeed” Jabari, “Fearless or brave one” Kayembe, “Extraordinary” “Gorillas are an incredible species and the birth of the first gorilla here in Cleveland has been another reminder of why we need to protect them from extinction,” said Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Executive Director Dr. Chris Kuhar. “Every vote to help name our gorilla will have a direct impact, protecting this iconic and critically endangered species in the wild.” An exclusive video series created in partnership with CrossCountry Mortgage continues to follow the baby's growth and development. --- Ways you can help support the show Chase Bank - where you can get a $200 bonus by opening an account and doing a direct deposit.

Our conversation this week is with Brian Zimmerman — CEO of The Cleveland Metroparks. As CEO of the Metroparks, Brian is responsible for the management of over 24,000 acres of green space in Northeast Ohio including 18 park reservations, eight golf courses, and the nationally-acclaimed Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, roughly 1000 employees, hundreds of miles of parkways and trails serving roughly 40 million visitors annually. Brian has helped lead the Park District's highest rate of land acquisition under any Cleveland Metroparks leader in the park's 104-year history aside from the Metroparks' founder, William Stinchcomb. Under Brian's leadership, Cleveland Metroparks has been recognized nationally through several agency awards including the 2016 National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park Management by National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), the highest national honor in parks and recreation.It is quite awesome to learn about the history and diversity of all the work that goes into maintaining and preserving what so many of us here in Cleveland value and treasure in the nature afforded by the Metroparks.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo executive director Chris Kuhar joins Baskin and Phelps to talk about the baby tigers that were born in December 2020, how they're crowd sourcing the names, and what events Clevelanders can expect from the zoo in 2021. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Loooove starting Friday with some old Skool JT! Also Morgan's bf broke down whats going on with the stock market. We found out the new Rebecca Black song is as expected. We also asked how you got revenge on a cheater and Austin Love from Channel 3 told us about the baby tigers at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Executive Director of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo since 2012, Kuhar manages the Zoo’s extensive animal collection and oversees the daily operations of the 183-acre facility. Since joining Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in 2008, he has also served as Curator of Primates and Small Mammals and Curator of Animals. Prior to that, Kuhar was the Research Manager at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, where he studied animal behavior for nearly five years. He previously worked as a Research Assistant at Zoo Atlanta from 2000 to 2003 and at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo from 1997 to 2000. Kuhar received his Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of Akron in 1997, his Master of Science in zoology from Oklahoma State University in 2000 and his doctorate in experimental psychology from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2004. In addition to serving on the Board of Directors for four years, Kuhar has served as the Board Liaison to the Animal Welfare Committee, and as a member of the Safety Committee, Animal Population Management Committee, Research and Technology Committee as well as multiple TAGS and SSPs. Kuhar also serves as an AZA Executive Leadership Development Program mentor. In this episode of Destination on the Left, Executive Director of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Dr. Christopher Kuhar, joins us to discuss his branding strategy for the zoo. He talks about leading with the mission to increase awareness of the work organizations are doing behind the scenes. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How zoos are weaving their mission into their brand story Why balance is so important How the Cleveland Zoo became apart of an award-winning special parks district How Dr. Kuhar and his team redesigned the messaging strategy What visitors want to know about your destination How Cleveland Metroparks Zoo stands out from its competitors Projects that Dr. Kuhar and his team are currently working on Rebranding the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Dr. Christopher Kuhar is the Executive Director of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, where he manages the Zoo’s animal collection and oversees the daily operations. In Dr. Kuhar’s current role, he is leading the Cleveland zoo into a new chapter with an emphasis on conservation, education, and animal welfare. On top of the massive additions to infrastructure and exhibits that have already been completed, Dr. Kuhar and his team are changing the way that they talk about themselves to the public. Traditionally, zoos have always focused their marketing budget on getting people through the front gates. But there is amazing work happening behind the scenes and Dr. Kuhar is making an effort to weave it into the brand. What are You Doing to Make the World a Better Place? For the travel industry in general, there has been a major shift as far as what people are looking for when they travel; and there is a greater concern for the environments they are stepping into. The impact visitors have on the destinations they visit and the footprints they leave behind are out in the open, so brands like the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo have capitalized on opportunities to talk about the work they are doing. In polling data from the AZA, Dr. Kuhar and his team have gathered a significant amount of information about their visitors—and they found that the desire to see destination organizations making the world a better place is near the top of the list. That is something every DMO can leverage. How Do You Show Up in the World? Many guests at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo are completely unaware of the impact Dr. Kuhar and his team are making, so that was a major driver behind the new messaging. They wanted to highlight the conservation work they have been doing for the last twenty years and lead with their mission in every advertisement and every piece of content on social media. So far, this has increased awareness from 50% to 90% and it has even increased attendance from demographics that would normally be considered outliers. How your brand shows up in the world is directly correlated to a traveler’s decision to visit your destination.

Our local zoos are changing. The Akron Zoo is in the midst of a $17 million expansion, making new homes for lions and tigers. The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo recently opened exhibits featuring Asian wildlife and rare Siberian tigers.

Our local zoos are changing. The Akron Zoo is in the midst of a $17 million expansion, making new homes for lions and tigers. The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo recently opened exhibits featuring Asian wildlife and rare Siberian tigers. In this week’s Exploradio, we examine the research that goes into making captive animals a little more comfortable.

Cleveland Metroparks is home to 18 park reservations, eight lakefront parks, 300 miles of all-purpose, hiking, biking, and bridle trails, eight golf courses, five nature centers and the nationally acclaimed Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

Mokolo, a 30-year-old male silverback gorilla at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, experienced some dramatic changes in his life last year, both good and bad. He lost one longtime partner, and gained two others. And the Metroparks Zoo’s scientists were in a unique position to evaluate what was going on with him. As our guest, biologist and primate behavior specialist Austin Leeds will explain, the zoo is in the midst of a groundbreaking research project. The study aims to use hormones to better understand gorilla behavior. These critically endangered animals are highly social. Gorillas form relationships with each other that can last a lifetime. But gorillas aren’t as outwardly demonstrative as other primates, like chimpanzees. That can make it challenging to interpret their actions and state of mind. So the zoo’s scientists have recently begun monitoring levels of the hormones oxytocin and cortisol in gorillas here in Cleveland and at other institutions, as a window into their behaviors. Oxytocin is important for bonding, while cortisol reflects stress. It’s part of the zoo’s ongoing efforts to improve conditions for the gorillas in its care, and to protect those remaining in the wild. That work also includes helping train scientists and conservation professionals in Rwanda – preparing them to serve on the front lines in the battle to save gorillas from extinction. Austin Leeds is earning his Ph.D. in biology from Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University, and holds bachelors and masters degrees in primate behavior. He’s a graduate research associate at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, where he conducts research, recruits and trains research volunteers and works closely with the zoo’s gorillas. Leeds is also a mentor for students in the Memoirs Program operated by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, the University of Rwanda and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, which we’ll talk more about during the show. You can find more information about these projects on our website, cmnh.org/Sauropodcast. Here’s our interview.
