Michael I. Crowther, President and CEO of the Indianapolis Zoological Society... His personal and professional focus is the conservation of wild things and wild places, and he believes that the accredited zoos and aquariums of the world can play an important role in building connections between humans and nature, resulting in increased personal conservation action. Mike and his team developed the Indianapolis Zoo’s strategy of promoting sustainability via three primary resources: The Zoo’s Polly H. Hix Institute for Conservation and Research; The Indianapolis Prize; and Zoo-based and virtual exhibits designed to engage, enlighten, and empower the public.
