Wildlife Conservation Society operates programs across more than 3 million biologically critical square miles in over 50 countries and across all the world's oceans, supported by a global team based in the Bronx, New York. The work blends rigorous science with on-the-ground conservation in partnership with local and indigenous communities, and it engages the public through its zoos, aquarium, and education initiatives. In May 2026, WCS announced a collaboration with the International Institute for Sustainable Development to advance the CAPA Initiative, aimed at supporting sustainable livelihoods, ecosystem restoration, and inclusive environmental decision-making. In the non-profit sector, WCS serves governments, communities, partner organizations, and the broader public to advance wildlife stewardship and habitat protection. The organization positions itself as a globally active conservation leader that combines science, partnerships, and policy influence to scale impact.
