Steve Ross, director of Lincoln Park Zoo’s center for apes and a well-respected primatologist, died unexpectedly Wednesday at 52.
Ross was hired by the zoo in 2000 and became director of the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes in 2021. His research at the zoo helped lead to the development of its award-winning Regenstein Center for African Apes.
He was married to Megan Ross, who last year was appointed the zoo’s president and CEO, becoming the first woman to serve in that role. Through his work with Project ChimpCARE, Ross helped ensure all chimpanzees were included on the endangered species list, helping to end the chimpanzee pet trade.
