[edit] History

The Wildlife Conservation Society traces its origin to April 26, 1895 when New York State chartered the organization as the New York Zoological Society. Its name was changed to the Wildlife Conservation Society in 1993. As one of the first conservation organizations in the United States, WCS began with a clear mandate: advance wildlife conservation, promote the study of zoology, and create a first-class zoological park.

Among the founders of WCS were Andrew H. Green, best known as the father of greater New York City, and Henry Fairfield Osborn, Columbia University professor and curator of the American Museum of Natural History. Theodore Roosevelt and other notable New Yorkers were also involved in the Society's creation.

WCS's flagship "New York Zoological Park" — the Bronx Zoo — was designed along the lines of other cultural icons in New York City, such as the American Museum of Natural History. The city provided the land for the new zoo and some funding for buildings and annual operating costs. From private donors, WCS raised most of the funds for construction and operations. It also selected scientific and administrative leadership for the enterprise. This partnership of city government and cultural organization has endured and grown for more than 100 years.

Later, New York City again turned to WCS to renew and manage three city-run facilities in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. The redesigned Central Park Zoo opened in 1988, followed by the Prospect Park Zoo in 1992 and the Queens Zoo in 1993. From 1994 through 1996 Archie Carr III of WCS was instrumental in the establishment of the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize, the world's premier reserve for the jaguar
