Mission
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is dedicated to being the most effective conservation organization, protecting and promoting a world rich in wildlife and wilderness. For more than a century, WCS has inspired care for nature, pioneered environmental education programs, and helped sustain biological diversity. Throughout its rich history, WCS has remained an integral part of New York City's cultural life and a leader in teaching biology and science in both the U.S. and worldwide.

Programs
WCS manages more than 300 field projects in 53 countries and has developed award-winning environmental education programs for schools in the U.S. and abroad. At its celebrated wildlife parks in New York - the Bronx Zoo, the New York Aquarium, and Central Park, Queens and Prospect Park Wildlife Centers -- WCS inspires over 4.5 million annual visitors to care about wildlife and wild lands and to participate in their conservation.

WCS's staff of zoologists, keepers, teachers, veterinarians, health technicians, trainers, and other specialists care for more than 8,000 animals representing 1,000 species. Dedicated individuals conduct a gallery of programs including conservation education, breeding of endangered species, and understanding wildlife health and science.

WCS's International Conservation program oversees field conservation projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and North America. Here, WCS staff gathers information on wildlife needs, trains local conservation professionals, and works with in-country staff to protect and manage wildlife and wild areas for the future.
