Daily News | Philadelphia Zoo’s president is stepping down after 16 years and many innovations
The Centennial District Parking Garage was constructed to serve the zoo and surrounding community.Dewan said he takes pride in the innovations he and his staff have accomplished, but he also places a lot of value on the zoo’s new programs that have increased access and inclusive, especially for young people.
When Dewan’s time with the zoo is done, he said he would like to be of service in the areas of social and environmental justice. An animal lover, he and his wife brought their three children to the Philadelphia Zoo, and their ten grandchildren are big zoo fans. The Dewans now share their Overbrook home with a rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and cats and kittens they foster.
During his time as the zoo’s president, Dewan said he’s developed a greater understanding of the perils and challenges impacting creatures across the world, as well as a fuller appreciation for the work done on the behalf of wildlife by the zoo’s staff and their colleagues working in the field. “Being able to get closer to those issues in the years I’ve been here has been one of the real joys for me,” said Dewan, “and given me a deep respect for the work that’s happening here.”
