Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) uses science to discover and understand nature.
The knowledge gathered helps them engage and inspire communities, decision-makers, and millions of supporters to take action by collaborating with the WCS to protect the wildlife and habitats we all care about.
The scientists at WCS study what wildlife species require to thrive.
With the knowledge gathered by scientists at the Wildlife Conservation Society, they invest in abating threats to wildlife and their habitat within their most essential strongholds and the corridors that link them.
The WCS targets large, rare, wide-ranging species, most notably because they have intrinsic value and for the vital role they play in ecosystem health.
By saving the wildlife, the WCS protects other biodiversities that take shelter under their conservation canopy.
Saving Wild Places
Over the past 100 years, the WCS has established a long-term conservation presence in the remaining wild areas across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
They have also built strong and trusting partnerships and gained a depth of knowledge that secures effective conservation action.
The wildlife conservation society protects these last wild places because they are intact, biodiverse, most resilient to climate change, and bastions for large, iconic wildlife species.
Protected Areas
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) helps communities and governments protect the natural environments critical to saving wild places and wildlife, securing a valuable flow of local livelihoods and ecosystem services based on social and environmental sustainability principles.
Communities
The WCS partners with indigenous and local people to achieve their goals for a more resilient and secure future, where wildlife remains a visible and culturally valued aspect of the wild habitats where they live.
Combating Wildlife Trafficking
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) uses its local presence and global influence to prevent wildlife poaching, hinder the trafficking of animals across transit routes, and reduce the demand for wildlife and their products.
Health
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) uses its global health experts to investigate and fight against diseases that move between humans, domestic animals, and wildlife and threaten the health of all.
Oceans and Fisheries
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) works with local and government partners to protect the earth’s oceans, inland waters, coastlines, and marine life. It also provides billions of people with both food and livelihood security.
Business
WCS brings the private sector, governments, communities, and consumers together to develop policy options and scientific solutions to benefit nature and industry.
Wildlife Management
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) takes action to reduce threats to wildlife so that the species’ population is stable or rising, to ensure that fishing and hunting are sustainable, and to resolve conflicts between people and wildlife.
Addressing Climate Change
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) applies its science to find out how to reduce climate change’s impacts on wildlife, ecosystems, and people, increasing resilience and offering insurance against a fast-changing world.
The WCS engages in various conservation science and policy interventions to aid their conservation solutions.
