Identifier Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 1A - FRINGE OR EXPENSE EXPLANATION   WCS compensation for officers and key employees has three main components: (1) cash compensation in the form of base salary and, for specific positions, taxable cash allowances for certain business expenses in lieu of reimbursement (e.g., automobile allowance) and, in certain circumstances, taxable tuition allowance, incentive compensation and discretionary performance bonuses; (2) non-cash taxable and non-taxable benefits (e.g., health and life insurance); 3) in certain circumstances, deferred compensation. The following provides required responses to Part I lines 1a, 4b, 6a as well as other Supplemental information on base compensation (Column Bi): As required by Form 990, base compensation includes employees' regular, sick and vacation pay for the calendar year ending December 31, 2012 as reported on the employees' W-2 Box 5. Base compensation excludes pre-tax deductions for health insurance premiums and flexible spending account contributions; these pre-tax deductions are reported as part of Column D as required by Form 990 instructions. Supplemental information on other reportable income (Column Biii)including disclosure required for Part I. Line 1a on housing use and tax indemnification: The totals in Column Biii include the following components of taxable income reported on the employee's W-2 for 2012: 1) the fair market rental value of housing for Steven E. Sanderson (retired 7/1/12) totaling $134,003 which includes related tax payments of $68,584. 2) For current President and CEO Cristian Samper (hired 8/1/12) the fair market value of housing, totaling $53,077. mr. samper also received $39,771 in reimbursements for children's tuition expense pursuant to his employment agreement. any payments for compensation under multi-year supplemental non-qualified compensation plans which vested in the 2012 calendar year; the value of taxable group life premiums; and any tuition reimbursement and taxable allowances for automobile and cell phone use provided to certain officers and key employee is reported on Schedule J, Part II. Automobile and cell phone allowance, if provided, are made in lieu of reimbursement for those business expenses. The largest component of other reportable income (column Biii) for Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Samper was the rental value of housing ($134,003 and $53,077 respectively). For 2012 calendar year, WCS covered the related tax payments for Dr. Sanderson totaling $68,584. As a condition of employment and for the convenience of WCS, the President and CEO is required to reside in a WCS-owned apartment at which fundraising and other meetings are held for WCS's purpose and benefit. The apartment is centrally located to facilitate travel to all of WCS's New York City locations. WCS treats the rental value of the apartment as a taxable benefit. There is no other reportable income for 2012. Supplemental information on retirement and other deferred compensation (Column C), including disclosure required for Part I, line 4b on non-qualified retirement plans; Column C has two components: the estimated present value of accrued qualified pension benefit earned in calendar 2012, and the estimated accrued value of the supplemental non-qualified retirement plans currently in force but not yet vested. These non-qualified plans are described as follows: WCS has established supplemental non-qualified retirement plans to provide retirement benefits to executives which would otherwise be lost due to statutory limitations and for the purpose of retaining talent. For retention purposes, these plans are payable on various pre-determined vesting dates set for each participant, typically five to ten years from the establishment of the plans. Payment is subject to the achievement of certain service requirements provided that the individual is employed by WCS through the vesting date or in certain other limited circumstances. As noted below, seven individuals participated in these plans during the reporting period, and the estimated accruals not yet vested are a component of deferred compensation reported in Column C for each: (note that these accruals are reported again below in the disclosure for Part I, line 4.) Former President and CEO Steven E. Sanderson, retired in July 2012 in advance of his plan vesting date and forfeited his non-qualified plan accruals expected in previous years.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED   HERE IS A SAMPLE OF ACHIEVEMENTS THIS YEAR: 1. WCS DEVELOPED A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER CONSERVATION GROUPS TO SAVE AFRICAN FOREST ELEPHANTS ANNOUNCED AT THE CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE. THIS IS A THREE-PRONGED STRATEGY TO TACKLE THE CRISIS: STOP THE KILLING, STOP THE TRAFFICKING AND STOP THE DEMAND. OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, FUNDS raiseD WILL BE USED TO DETER POACHING AND TRAFFICKING. 2. WCS'S CHINA PROGRAM CAPTURED ITS FIRST CAMERA TRAP IMAGES INDICATING THAT THE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED AMUR LEOPARD - THE RAREST OF ALL BIG CATS IN THE WILD - IS BREEDING IN CHINA. 3. A TEAM OF RESEARCHERS FROM WCS, THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS IDENTIFIED A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN SPECIES OF HUMPBACK DOLPHIN IN THE WATERS OFF NORTHERN AUSTRALIA. 4. A TEAM OF SCIENTISTS LED BY WCS AND THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE REVEALED FOR THE FIRST TIME THE PRESENCE OF THE PATHOGENIC CHYTRID FUNGUS IN AMPHIBIANS SAMPLED IN SINGAPORE. 5. WCS AND PANTHERA RELEASED CAMERA TRAP FOOTAGE FROM UGANDA'S KIBALE NATIONAL PARK SHOWING A RARELY SEEN AFRICAN GOLDEN CAT. 6. WCS AND FIVE OTHER CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS DEVELOPED A FREE, OPEN-SOURCE SPATIAL MONITORING AND REPORTING TOOL - SMART - TO HELP park RANGERS CURB THE ILLEGAL TRADE of WILDLIFE in parks around the world. 7. WCS AND PARTNERS INVENTORIED ALL TWENTY SEVEN PRIMATE SPECIES IN TANZANIA TO CREATE A ROADMAP FOR CONSERVATION IN THE MOST PRIMATE-DIVERSE COUNTRY IN MAINLAND AFRICA.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED   HERE IS A SAMPLE OF ACHIeVEMENTS AT THE BRONX ZOO: 1. Five Chinese yellow-headed box turtles (Cuora aurocapitata) recently hatched and are thriving in the Reptile House Nursery at WCS's Bronx Zoo. The hatchings are an early sign of success in a larger strategy to save endangered turtles that taps expertise from all corners of the organization - the Zoos and Aquarium, Wildlife Health Program, and Global Conservation Program. Chinese yellow-headed box turtles are one of the 25 most endangered turtle species in the world with fewer than 150 REPTILES remaining in the wild. 2. The Bronx Zoo and its partners have recently released 2,000 Kihansi spray toads into enclosures in the Kihansi Gorge in Tanzania, marking a major milestone for a species declared extinct in the wild just three years ago. The enclosures enabled biologists to monitor the animals, test the conditions in the gorge, and determine whether releasing more toads into their native habitat has a realistic chance of success. The repatriation effort is the result of a 12-year partnership of the Bronx Zoo, the Toledo Zoo, the government of Tanzania, and the World Bank to breed the toads in captivity while its habitat was restored. 3. Bronx Zoo continued its legacy of leadership in the conservation of American bison. The zoo announced the birth of the first-ever genetically pure American bison calf produced by embryo transfer. The success is the result of collaboration with Colorado State University, USDA-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and the American Prairie Reserve. 4. A white-cheeked gibbon baby debuted in the Fall - the first born at the Bronx Zoo since 2000- A Critically endangered species, the white-cheeked gibbon is native to Vietnam, Lao PDR, and China. 5. Bronx Zoo health experts and partners produced the first-ever published study to genetically charactERize canine distemper virus (CDV) in tigers and confirmed its role in the death of Amur tigers in the Russian Far East. 6. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums awarded its top honor for educational programming to the Wildlife Conservation Society for our Online Teacher Academy that helps educators discover teaching methods while inspiring student learning and conservation action. The award recognizes outstanding achievement in educational program design - judging programs on their ability to promote conservation knowledge, attitudes and behavior, show innovation, and measure success. WCS created the Online Teacher Academy in 2007. The program introduces educators to life science content, teaching methods, and new technology while using resources like zoos and aquariums as serious tools for teaching science. IN October 2012, THE NEW YORK AQUARIUM experienced extensive damage to its infrastructure and life support systems due to Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy arrived just days before the groundbreaking of a major expansion of the new shark exhibit, Ocean Wonders:Sharks! The Aquarium partIAlly reopened in May 2013, and welcomed 350,000 guests over the summer season. In partnership WITH WCS and the City of New York, the planned expansion will continue to move forward while we simultaneously rebuild.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C - THIRD ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED   A SAMPLE OF ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2013: 1. A crested coua chick hatched at the Central Park Zoo is being hand-reared behind the scenes. Although widespread in their native Madagascar, fewer than 40 are living in American zoos. The hatching is a significant achievement as Central Park Zoo is only the fourth zoo in the U.S. to have successfully reared a coua chick. 2. Central Park Zoo is a breeding ground for some of the most beautiful and endangered waterfowl from around the world, with eight rare or endangered species producing chicks this year. Species breeding successfully include scaly-sided merganser, long-tailed duck, spectacled eider, Baer's pochard, Pacific common eider, pink-eared duck, radjah shelduck, and red-breasted merganser. The Central Park Zoo began its waterfowl breeding program four years ago and the rate of success has been steadily increasing since the inception of the program. Central Park Zoo has 23 duck species on exhibit and boasts the largest public collection of sea ducks both by number of individuals and species represented in the world. Most of the species are either uncommon in zoos and/or endangered in the wild. 3. The Wildlife Conservation Society's zoos haD five additions to our group of California sea lions. Four of the five were rescued from the wild and the fifth was born at the Bronx Zoo. Two young females arrived at WCS's Prospect Park Zoo on a recommendation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after being orphaned and stranded off the coast of Point Hueneme, CalifORNIA. One of these sea lions will go to the Central Park Zoo NEXT fall. Two adult males were brought to the Queens Zoo from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife as part of a local wildlife management project in Bonneville, OreGON. A female sea lion pup was born at the Bronx Zoo in the Spring. All five animals are doing well and the addition of these animals will significantly help bolster the sustainability of sea lions at our parks, which are managed as one collection.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D - OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT   Funding provided from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service - WWB (Wildlife without Borders) helped establish a Masters program focused on Conservation Biology at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Through this grant, WCS will help lay the foundation for a self-sustaining graduate program as well as design and launch a Conservation Network that brings together a diverse group of non-governmental organizations, policy makers, conservation practitioners and students.
