Wildlife Conservation Society

WCS stands for wildlife and wild places. As the world’s premier wildlife conservation organization, WCS has a long track record of achieving innovative, impactful results at scale.

We run programs spanning more than 3 million biologically critical square miles in more than 50 countries and all the world's oceans.

We build on a unique foundation: Our reach is global; we discover through best-in-class science; we protect through work on the ground with local and indigenous people; we inspire through our world-class zoos, aquarium, and education programs; and we leverage our resources through partnerships and powerful policy influence.

Our nearly 4,000 diverse, passionately committed team members in New York City and around the world work collectively to achieve our conservation mission.
