Wildlife Conservation Society

Founded in 1895 as the New York Zoological Society, the Wildlife Conservation Society was one of the first conservation organizations in the U.S. The Society began with a clear mandate: Advance wildlife conservation, promote the study of zoology, and create a first-class zoo. In fact we created five: the Bronx Zoo, Central Park Zoo, Queens Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, and the New York Aquarium.

Bronx Zoo

Found only on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi—and at the Bronx Zoo—the maleo is an endangered and totally unique bird. The Bronx Zoo Bird Department and WCS-Indonesia have worked together to document its unusual nesting behaviors. Their teamwork has helped to protect the species and its nesting grounds in the wild.

From Central Park to Central Asia, WCS is a world leader in the care and conservation of snow leopards. In 1903, the Bronx Zoo became the first zoo in the Western Hemisphere to exhibit these rare spotted cats.

The Bronx Zoo’s Congo Gorilla Forest features one of the largest groups of western lowland gorillas in North America, and is among the world’s first zoo exhibits to directly give visitors a stake in wildlife conservation in the field. 

Bronx Zoo Total Experience Includes: Congo Gorilla Forest, Jungle World, Children's Zoo, 4-D Theater, Bufferfly Garden, Nature Trek, Bug Carousel, Wild Asia Monorail and Zoo Shuttle.

Queens Zoo

The animal trail at the Queens Zoo:  There’s an array of wildlife from the Americas here—big, burly bison; the tiniest of deer, called pudu; and lots in between. Chacoan peccaries were only known from fossils until a herd was found in Bolivia in 1975.
