WCS Wildlife Conservation Society Canada

Our Mission

WCS Canada implements and supports comprehensive field studies that gather information on wildlife needs and then seeks to resolve key conservation problems by working with a broad array of stakeholders, including local community members, conservation groups, regulatory agencies, and commercial interests. From Yukon to Labrador we work to conserve wolverine, grizzly bears, freshwater fish, lynx, caribou, and many other Canadian species. Major issues addressed to date include protected-area design, wildlife monitoring and recovery, and integrated landscape management. WCS Canada is an independently registered and managed program of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), headquartered at the Bronx Zoo, New York, which operates conservation programs in over 55 countries around the world. WCS is a recognized global leader in conservation, dedicated to saving wildlife and wildlands in order to assure a future for threatened species such as elephants, tigers, sharks, macaws and lynx.
