San Diego Zoo Celebrates 100 Years of Koala Conservation and Welcomes New Arrivals

The San Diego Zoo, renowned for its diverse wildlife and commitment to conservation, is marking a significant milestone: 100 years of koala conservation in partnership with the Taronga Conservation Society Australia. This centennial celebration is highlighted by the recent birth of a female koala joey named Inala, the first in two years at the zoo. Inala, whose name means “rest time” in the Australian Aboriginal language, has recently emerged from her mother’s pouch, symbolizing hope for the species’ future.

A Century of Koala Conservation
The San Diego Zoo’s journey with koalas began in 1925 when the first two koalas were received as a gift from the children of Sydney to the children of San Diego. Over the past century, the zoo has become a leader in koala care, research, and conservation, working tirelessly to protect this iconic Australian marsupial. The birth of Inala not only adds to the zoo’s koala family but also serves as a testament to the successful conservation efforts undertaken in collaboration with Australian partners.
