Terry Maple (born September 10, 1946) is an American behavioral research scientist, wildlife conservationist, Professor Emeritus (Georgia Institute of Technology) and zoo director emeritus.

Maple has authored or co-authored 12 academic books, including Zoo Man, an autobiography detailing the early years of his career as a zoo director. His second autobiography, Professor in the Zoo, was published in August 2016. Most recently, he co-authored with Dan Marston, Comparative Psychology for Clinical Psychologists and Therapists (Kingsley, London, 2016). He has been largely collected by libraries worldwide.^[1]

Maple is best known for his 18-year tenure as director and later President and CEO of Zoo Atlanta where he transformed the troubled zoo into a model institution and a fiscally sound cultural attraction.^[2]

Career[edit]

President/CEO, Zoo Atlanta[edit]

Maple is credited for revitalizing, re-branding and ultimately transforming Atlanta's city-run zoo from one of the country's worst-rated zoological facilities into one of the best.

Zoo Atlanta, as it was renamed under Maple's leadership, is one of the ten oldest American zoos in continuous operation. The zoo has emerged as a model organization among accredited zoos in North America. It is known for its progressive scientific research and conservation programs, as well as innovative animal enclosures designed to enrich the lives of its animal residents while providing them with optimized animal welfare services.

In 1984, Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young appointed Maple, then a 38-year-old animal behaviorist and already a noted zoo expert, to serve as interim director of the Atlanta Zoo. An investigation revealed the facility was in disrepair and plagued with problems from political infighting to scandal. In addition, the zoo's membership was revoked by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the national zoo association and regulatory body. Maple was appointed interim director and ultimately director.

That same year, the zoo was listed in Parade magazine as one of the ten worst zoos in the United States. The negative publicity prompted a strong public outcry from the community, and increased a growing public sentiment that the facility should be closed down.^[3]^[4]

In 1985, the management of zoo operations was put in the hands of a new private non-profit organization, the Atlanta-Fulton County Zoo, Inc, with Maple responsible for overseeing all departments from animal care and veterinary services to fundraising. In addition to privatization, the zoo was rebranded Zoo Atlanta.^[5]

In Maple's nearly two decades at the helm of Zoo Atlanta, the organization made an unprecedented comeback. A significant increase in patronage generated revenue to support the renovation of exhibits with innovative designs that not only benefited the animals’ welfare, but also accommodated cutting edge behavioral research, which was an objective of the research scientist-turned zoo director.

Under Maple's leadership, the reputation of Atlanta's metropolitan zoo was restored and the zoo became a popular cultural attraction and pioneering zoological facility in terms of the management and study of endangered wildlife species. According to then-Mayor Andrew Young, Zoo Atlanta is the most successful privatization in Georgia's history and its transition from a publicly managed organization into a public-private partnership is now a trend in management practices for the zoo industry.

Zoo Atlanta also extended its contributions to the local community beyond the perimeter of the zoo campus. In partnership with Atlanta's WSB-television the zoological organization won six Emmy Awards for local educational programming.

Maple retired from Zoo Atlanta in 2003 as the founding President and CEO and assumed the title of Zoo Director Emeritus.

Animal Welfare Science in Zoos[edit]

Maple developed an organizational culture and instituted practices at Zoo Atlanta whereby evidence-based methods were employed zoo wide. Other institutions have benefitted from research published by staff at Zoo Atlanta, while some zoos have begun to adopt their own model of using animal welfare research to improve animal care at their respective facilities. In many ways Zoo Atlanta has emulated modern day natural history museums, which have traditionally been considered more scholarly and scientific than zoos. Most museum's employ curatorial staff with courtesy research and teaching appointments at universities. Zoo Atlanta is one of the few zoos in the industry to have followed this approach in an effort to foster research activities and cultivate practices based on science. A few institutions have research departments and university partnerships, but through Dr. Maple's dual appointment he was able to establish a unique relationship between zoos and local universities.^[6]^[7]^[8]

President, Association of Zoos & Aquariums[edit]

As President of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (1998-1999), Maple established the association's first diversity initiative and widened the membership's scientific network and reputation within the academic research community. He also worked to differentiate AZA accredited zoos and aquariums from roadside attractions and other menageries.

Georgia Tech[edit]

While serving as President and CEO of Zoo Atlanta, Maple was a tenured professor at Georgia Tech where he founded the Center for Conservation and Behavior. Through his dual appointments as a full professor (and principal investigator) of a University's animal behavior research laboratory and zoo director, Maple diversified his laboratory's research interests beyond the study of primate taxa to an array of vertebrate species managed at the zoo.

Over time, he transformed a conventional zoo's animal collection into a population of wildlife in human care which was more conducive to ethological study and other research endeavors in scientific disciplines from epidemiology to reproductive physiology.

Founding Editor, Zoo Biology[edit]

Maple is the Founding Editor of the scientific journal Zoo Biology, which was originally published by John Wiley/Blackwell in association with the AZA. The publication is no longer affiliated with the AZA, but the peer-review journal continues
