FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED 1. The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) are working on the "Together for Conservation project" to strengthen the capacities of civil society actors, to collaborate and proactively lead efforts to conserve biodiversity and prevent environmental crime in the Amazon Region. WCS working with its partners, Internews, IPAM, Coiab, Pronaturaleza and Rare, to ensure successful implementation of the Project. The efforts of the partnership focus will be on: 1) strengthening regional collaboration networks in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru; 2) promote legal and sustainable value chains among indigenous peoples local communities (IPLC), and private enterprises; 3) strengthen the management and defense of IPLC's territories, to conserve the Amazon forests and rivers and to promote active citizenship, from responsible consumption, journalism, communication, citizen science initiatives, and citizen surveillance. The main desired results of the "Together for Conservation project" are to improve the management of 7 million hectares of biologically significant areas, collaborate with 15 companies that implement actions to prevent environmental crime and develop 10 sustainable value chains that involve the participation of the private sector and IPLC. The project has a five-year duration. 2. WCS in collaboration with Mandai Nature and the Fisheries Administration (FiA) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF), released 20 critically endangered Royal Turtles into the Sre Ambel River system in Koh Kong Province's Sre Ambel district. The 20 turtles, consisting of 10 females and 10 males, are between 5 and 16 years old. Each turtle was implanted with a microchip, and an acoustic transmitter was attached to its marginal scute, allowing the conservation team to monitor and track their movements through the river system. The Royal Turtle, among the world's 25 most endangered tortoises and freshwater turtles, is listed as Critically Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. The species was believed to be extinct until 2000. Since then, WCS and FiA have been working together to protect the species from extinction through various conservation activities, including a nest protection program, head-starting of young turtles, law enforcement, research and monitoring, prevention of illegal trade, and outreach and livelihood support. The species, however, still faces significant threats, such as sand dredging, illegal fishing, overexploitation, and habitat loss due to land grabbing and forest clearance along waterways. 3. WCS's Arctic Beringia Program has co-produced a new feature-length documentary film with Tribal partners in the community of Old Harbor, Alaska, titled "The Herd". This film follows a free-roaming herd of plains bison that were transferred to Sitkalidak Island, Alaska in 2017 and the nearby community of Old Harbor, which owns, manages and harvests them. This acquisition of bison from nearby Kodiak is part of a larger narrative of Indigenous-led efforts across North America to populate bison on Tribal lands. With over 70 Tribes currently in membership, the InterTribal Buffalo Council has organized distribution, education, and grant financing for Native American communities to develop their own bison herds. For over a century, WCS has collaborated with Tribes and agency partners to conserve and grow the population of the North American plains bison. These efforts have lead to crucial milestones in bison conservation, including the designation of the plains bison as our National mammal. 4. wcs started a project funded by a grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to maintain the high conservation status of the Putumayo-I river basin in the Amazon, home to some of the richest ecosystems in the world. Four countries, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru will lead the initiative under a shared vision which will address the causes of water pollution and biodiversity loss. With almost $90 million USD in co-financing from the host governments, NGO's and private sector, the project will advance a framework for the Integrated Management of the Basin, with a particular focus on preserving freshwater ecosystems and their associated natural resources, on which local communities depend. The Putumayo-I river basin is the tenth longest tributary of the Amazon River, providing an abundance of biodiversity and ecosystem services. The project will be executed by WCS in partnership with local communities, grassroots organizations and local and national authorities. The Putumayo-I river basin project will have two components: (1) the design and implementation of a knowledge management system to improve access to and use of information for better decision making for watershed management. It includes a participatory process to develop a strategic plan for integrated water resource management; and (2) the implementation of pilot interventions to address priority issues, such as the development of management plans for fish and non-timber forest products, capacity building and promotion of best practices to address the problem of mercury contamination resulting from small-scale gold mining activities. 5. WCS began it's participation in the Coalition for Aquatic/Blue Foods, a new international effort to elevate the importance of climate smart blue foods in global food systems and to progress key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. the Coalition launched with major commitments from countries like Fiji and Portugal, who declared their intentions to prioritize smart management of small-scale fisheries to net nutrition, biodiversity, and macro economic outcomes. WCS's engagement in the Aquatic/Blue Foods Coalition is the next step in our global commitment to working hand in hand with governments and communities to manage fisheries for the benefit of people and biodiversity. As a Coalition member, we will work around the world with our partners to further State commitments and support on the ground implementation of this work. The Coalition is a joint project of the Environmental Defense Fund, Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions, World Wildlife Foundation, WorldFish and more. 6. WCS has received two grants from Ballmer Group to support forest conservation to help address the climate crisis. The first grant will support WCS's work to protect the forests of the Congo Basin by 2030. A second grant will support WCS's Forest Frontiers Approach, working with small-scale farmers to reduce frontier expansion into critically important forests. Protecting the Earth's forests is critical for constraining global warming. Forests remove 30% of the excess CO2 we add to the atmosphere each year. In the tropics, forests also cool the atmosphere directly - by transpiring water from the soil into the atmosphere they act like a natural air conditioner and create moisture that travels through the atmosphere and becomes rainfall over some of the most important agricultural regions of the world. The world's forests are more critical than ever as we face a narrow window of time to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. 7. A study conducted as part of The wcs led expedition of the Identidad Madidi found The number of fish species recorded in Madidi National Park and Natural Integrated Management Area (PNANMI). Bolivia has doubled to a staggering 333 species - with as many as 35 species new to science. The study lists the fish species whose presence in Madidi has been confirmed, including those recorded during the Identidad Madidi expeditions, and a compilation of species occurrences listed in previous studies, providing an estimate of the total ichthyological richness for this protected area. 8. The Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI) formally accepted WCS as its 11th partner - the first new partner to join since the ground-breaking, multidisciplinary initiative was established 15 years ago. WCS has a long track record of delivering innovative, impactful conservation results at scale across the world's oceans and in nearly 60 countries. Aligned with CCI's values and mission, WCS is a science-based organization with a mission to save wildlife and wild places. With this partnership, WCS will now open an office within the CCI conservation campus in the David Attenborough Building in Cambridge. Opened in 2015 by Sir David himself, the conservation campus is one of the great successes born out of the CCI partnership, seeing an old University building transformed into a vibrant hub for collaborative conservation.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED 1. The Bronx Zoo opened a new experience, Budgie Landing. The new exhibit is an immersive walkthrough that includes more than 1000 colorful budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus), commonly known as budgies. Bronx Zoo guests will be surrounded by the small, boisterous parrots flying freely through the exhibit. Each guest will have the opportunity to offer seeds to the birds from a handheld stick. The exhibit was designed to replicate the Australian open woodlands and grasslands of their native range. 2. The New York Aquarium held a ceremony to mark the first time since Superstorm Sandy that all aquarium exhibits and public spaces are fully open. Each building and exhibit had to be restored one at a time in order to ensure the health and safety of the animals. Improvements were made to the aquarium infrastructure to protect vital systems from future storms. Water pumps, filters, and other elements of the critical life support systems were moved above flood level. And generators have been installed to ensure power outages do not take down needed systems. After being fully closed for seven months following Sandy, the aquarium partially reopened in 2013 while restoration of buildings and exhibits, critical life support systems, and resiliency planning/storm mitigation projects were underway. For the next 10 years, the aquarium rebuilt exhibits and restored public buildings while also planning and protecting the campus and the animals from future storms. 3. Bronx Zoo Veterinarians and animal care staff treated an American alligator recovered from a lake in Prospect Park. the nearly five-foot alligator was brought to the zoo by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. it presented as extremely emaciated weighing only 15 pounds. An alligator of this size should typically weigh between 30-35 pounds. Radiographs of the alligator, which is estimated to be between 5 and 6 years of age, show that she had ingested an approximately 4-inch wide bathtub stopper. After arriving at the Bronx Zoo, the animal was slowly warmed to an appropriate ambient temperature and received supportive care. Too weak and unresponsive to eat on its own, the alligator, a female, is being tube-fed to provide her with nutrients as well as fluids, Vitamin B, antibiotics and an antifungal medication. Alligators and other wild animals do not belong in the pet trade or in people's homes. The Bronx Zoo continues to be a resource not only for animals who find themselves in these unfortunate situations but also for the community which would have nowhere else to turn. The Zoo was contacted and intervened to rescue an exotic animal from private ownership. Through a state confiscation, "Mojo" the kinkajou, found himself at the Burlington County Animal Shelter, a local shelter not accustomed or equipped to manage exotic animals. Additionally this year fourteen bog turtles confiscated by the NY Dept of Environmental Conservation have been moved into a hibernation chamber. This is the first step towards the successful propagation of this species. These turtles will establish a colony that will produce young turtles for eventual reintroduction to native ranges. The Zoo was also asked to intervene in rescuing a young male fennec fox (Vulpes zerda) from an undesirable local situation. WCS's partnership with the Fennec Fox Species Survival Plan, and experience with the species, allowed WCS to provide a temporary home to "Bikku" until a more suitable residence was identified and "Bikku" was sent to the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston. 4. The New York Aquarium opened its Sea Change exhibit for the 2022 season. This exhibit is the reimagined underwater viewing of the Sea Cliffs exhibit, it appropriately tells the story of climate change and its impact on coastal habitats and species. It is the first permanent exhibit in New York City dedicated to climate change and hopes to engage audiences to better understand the ramifications if we fail to act. The Sea Change exhibit provides guests with intimate underwater views of sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters, and penguins for the first time in 10 years. This new exhibit gives Aquarium guests the opportunity for face-to-face encounters with these charismatic animals. As noted above, the exhibit explores climate change and its impact on coastal species. Examples include the impact of sea level change on both human communities and sea lion and seal rookeries, how changes in water temperature impact critical elements of the food chain and impacts on otters and other species from the loss of giant kelp forests, a habitat that may actually be able to store more carbon than terrestrial forests. Exhibits featuring native Jonah crabs (Cancer borealis) and rock crabs (Cancer irroratus) and schooling Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) further enhance the story and experience. 5. The Bronx Zoo was able to send Thirty-six zoo-bred Rote Island (pronounced RO-tee) snake-necked turtle (Chelodina mccordi) to the Mandai Wildlife Group's Singapore Zoo as part of a collaboration that will eventually introduce the animals to their native range in Indonesia where the species is functionally extinct. The species, which is classified as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is being bred at the Bronx Zoo and at other zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). As juveniles, they were transferred to the Bronx Zoo's Chelonian Propagation Center (CPC) where they were allowed to mature for 2-3 years. The Chelonian Propagation Center is a specialized facility that was built with reintroduction programs in mind. It is designed to provide a bio-secure area to minimize exposure to bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens to prevent possible introduction of disease to the environment when the turtles are released. The complex but well-coordinated plan involves a number of vital partnerships among different zoos and conservation organizations working hand-in-hand toward the goal of repopulating the species on Rote Island in Indonesia. These partners include the Bronx Zoo; AZA's Species Survival Plan (a cooperative breeding program made up of several AZA accredited zoos); Singapore Zoo; and Mandai Nature, the conservation arm of Mandai Wildlife Group. 6. New York Aquarium staff renovated a freshwater exhibit dedicated to Project Piaba (Brazilian Portuguese for "little fish") in the Conservation Hall. All the exhibits in this building connect aquarium guests with WCS global conservation programs and partnerships. Project Piaba is a local initiative on the Rio Negro tributary of the Amazon River that promotes sustainable aquarium fish collection to reduce its impact on the environment in addition to combating deforestation and "slash and burn" farming practices. Local people use great care to collect and transport ornamental fishes, avoiding collection during breeding seasons. The program also promotes local awareness and supports research projects to ensure long-term sustainable populations of native fishes. At the aquarium, the vibrant exhibit displays native fishes and live plants from the Amazon River system. The staff took great care in replacing the existing substrate with others that promote plant growth. Over 1,000 "little fishes" from Project Piaba including neon tetra (Paracheirodon innesi), lemon tetra (Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis), sucker catfish (Otocinclus vittatus), Agassiz' dwarf cichlids (Apistogramma agassizii), and black ghost knifefish (Apteronotus albifrons) now enjoy the renovated tank. 7. The Bronx Zoo became only the second zoo in the world to propagate the many-colored fruit dove (Ptilinopus perousii) when a pair housed off-exhibit hatched a chick and raised it for the first four days of life. Though the parents abandoned the squab at that point, Ornithology staff members intervened to finish raising the young bird by hand. Also, Two Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) from two different breeding pairs were raised this year. After being reared by their parents for the first three weeks of life, the two chicks were then moved to an off-exhibit holding room where they were hand-weaned by Ornithology staff members and were introduced to the Seabird Aviary exhibit. 8. The Holiday Lights at Bronx Zoo added more than 60 new lanterns that represented WCS's conservation work across our field programs and zoos and aquarium, including the all-new deep sea, Central American rainforest, Southeast Asian rainforest, and Aldabra Island scenes. Digital activities added another layer of mission-related content to the in-park experience and allowed visitors to explore a lantern field guide and interactive map, send a postcard to friends and family, play a "Light the Lanterns" trivia game, and send a thank you message to WCS staff around the world.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C - THIRD ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED 1. The Central Park Zoo completed renovations to the turtle habitat at the entrance of the Tisch Children Zoo and now exhibits Rote Island snake-necked turtles (Chelodina mccordi) transferred from Prospect Park Zoo (PPZ). The exhibit highlights the propagation achievements of PPZ and the Bronx Zoo with this critically endangered species and conservation efforts for the future release of zoo-raised turtles on Rote Island. 2. The Queen Zoo's collaborative New England cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus transitionalis) conservation program continued for another year. They sent five rabbit kits born this season to the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence, RI for subsequent release into the wild. Since the start of the program, more than 100 rabbits born at Queens Zoo have been released into their native habitat in several states. 3. The Prospect Park Zoo welcomed a female red panda (Ailurus fulgens styani) from Canada after a challenging transport process due to airline restrictions for animals coming from Canada. As a result, they used ground transport across the border in partnership with Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg. Rose, the new red panda, was introduced to her new mate, Chi, in exhibit holding. They were rotated on exhibit until they were both comfortable with each another and have now been fully introduced to one another and the exhibit. They are often seen sharing the same tree along the Discovery Trail exhibit. 4. The Central Park Zoo received a new breeding pair of superb bird-of-paradise (Lophorina superba) and a new female northern crested coua (Coua cristata) to be paired with their resident male. Central Park Zoo continues to be one of the very few zoos to successfully reproduce superb bird-of-paradise; they are hopeful this new pairing will be productive. The Zoo also received two golden-crested mynahs (Ampeliceps coronatus) and a female chestnut-backed thrush (Geokichla dohertyi). These are two new species for our tropic aviary that will increase the population diversity. 5. The Queen Zoo welcomed a large addition to their Sea Lion pool, "Tacoma", an 800-pound male California sea lion (Zalophus californianus). Tacoma was one of the animals that WCS rescued from euthanasia at Bonneville Dam several years ago. He has integrated into their bachelor group and all four male sea lions can be viewed daily in the sea lion exhibit. Additionally they imported 20 Puerto Rican crested toads (Peltophryne lemur) from the Toronto Zoo after two years of permit delays. The new animals allowed them to sustain their breeding program for this endangered species and retire some of their older animals. Tadpoles produced will be released in Puerto Rico. To date, they have sent more than 4,000 tadpoles for release. Another acquisitions included two Arabian horses (Equus caballus) which were donated from a horse rescue in New York State and a male roadrunner to pair with our female. 6. The Prospect Park Zoo welcomed a new colony of prairie dogs from the Elmwood Park Zoo in Pennsylvania after recent renovations to the habitat. The animals acclimated well to the exhibit and began actively digging to establish their town. The Prospect Park Zoo also received hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas) from the Oakland and San Diego Zoos as part of the Species Survival Program breeding recommendation. Additionally, the trio of male sand cats (Felis margarita harrisoni), born last spring at Zoo Boise, are on exhibit and delighting guests. In typical cat fashion, they have short bursts of activity and then nap. Happily, their favorite napping spot is next to the exhibit window where guests can easily snap a photo of this new favorite small wild cat. This species marks the third small exotic feline on exhibit at the zoo. 7. The Central Park Zoo accepted a donation of snakes from the estate of a local veterinary colleague. He was a board-certified reptile specialist who wished to donate his collection to a conservation organization. The collection consisted of rhinoceros rat snakes (Gonyosoma boulengeru) and woma pythons (Aspidites ramsayi) which once acquired and were placed on exhibit in the near in the mezzanine section of the Tropic Zone. Also new to the Central Park Zoo were a pair of collared lemurs (Eulemur collaris) that can now be viewed in the habitat at the exit of the Tropic Zone. They have settled into their new habitat nicely. The Zoo also acquired several new species for the Tropic Zone aviary. They received blue-crowned hanging parrots (Loriculus galgulus), red and yellow barbets (Trachyphonus erythrocephalus ), chestnut-backed thrushes (Geokichla dohertyi), golden-crested mynahs (Ampeliceps coronatus) and shama thrush (Copsychus malabaricus).
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D - OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT wcs has announced the launch of a new global 30x30 Ocean Accelerator to advance the historic goal of protecting and conserving at least 30% of the world's ocean by 2030 - "30x30". The 30x30 Ocean Accelerator represents a major new pool of funding and resources to advance the global expansion of effective and equitable marine protected areas (MPAs) and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs), and Indigenous and traditional territories, in marine areas of importance for biodiversity across the globe. This push to expand ocean protections, both through protected areas, OECMs, and Indigenous and traditional territories on the coast is part of a global movement to stem the tide of biodiversity loss in our oceans. However, many governments and local co-management groups remain without the resources and capacity to successfully implement this critical opportunity to address the challenges of the world's oceans. The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth's surface, but currently only 8.2% of waters are legally protected through marine protected areas. On top of that, only 2.4% were designated to be "fully or highly" protected. The percentage of this area that is effectively managed and achieving biodiversity objectives is unknown, with all-too-many ineffective "paper parks"-protected areas that end up neglected due to a lack of tools, staffing, and financial resources. These spotty protections leave coastal communities, ocean ecosystems, and endangered species vulnerable to threats like commercial overfishing, pollution, and unsustainable resource extraction. The WCS 30x30 Ocean Accelerator, made possible with generous support from the Thomas L. Kempner, Jr. Foundation, will leverage the expertise of over 1,200 WCS scientists and conservationists in 25 WCS coastal programs around the world, and draw upon Indigenous science and traditional knowledge while working with our partners at the national, local, and village levels to achieve wins for both nature and coastal communities.
