Tanya Peterson, executive director and CEO of the San Francisco Zoo, announced her retirement next month following board dysfunction and an attempted coup. The Zoological Society board thanked her for her leadership and contributions, particularly in expanding wildlife conservation efforts and improving visitor access to animals. Peterson has led the zoo since 2008 and was earning $339,500 annually as of 2022. The zoo faced pressure from the city’s budget analyst for documents needed for a financial audit, leading to a threat to freeze its funding due to reported board dysfunction.
Tanya Peterson stated, "Leading this zoo has been one of the great honors of my life," highlighting her commitment and challenges faced during her tenure.
The Zoological Society board expressed gratitude for Peterson's leadership, noting her contributions to expanding wildlife conservation efforts and enhancing visitor access to animals.
