Woodland Park Zoo

Moraes

After a national search, Woodland Park Zoo hired Anji Moraes as its new vice president of conservation and climate initiatives. Moraes joins the zoo from Vulcan and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, where she was a senior program officer focused on local and international conservation solutions, and worked within the community and environmental portfolios including climate change resilience, ecosystem connectivity, species recovery and marine health. She led strategy development, investigated new potential funding opportunities, and managed programming in the Pacific Northwest and Sub-Saharan Africa. She has developed and managed philanthropic initiatives in coral health, dam removal, illegal and unreported fishing and anti-wildlife trafficking. Her new role was redesigned to specifically focus on Woodland Park Zoo's commitment to climate and community action. Moraes will lead the zoo in exploring the intersection of wildlife conservation with climate, as well as community-based conservation and technology. Moraes has a master's degree in environmental studies with a concentration in environmental science and policy, and a bachelor's degree in public policy with a concentration on environmental policy.
