WCS Conservation Partners / 5 With leadership and results dating back to 1895, WCS has evolved into the world’s most comprehensive wildlife conservation organization. The additive strength derived from our parks, our field conservation work, and our global health network is unparalleled. yet we could never do this work and achieve these results without the collaboration and support of hundreds of partners. With offices across the globe, WCS is well positioned to engage with REPRESENTATIVES OF GOVERNMENT AND civil society whose goals align with our science-based conservation mission. Throughout our 117-year history, such collaborations have helped us achieve real results – from establishing the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge and some of Latin America’s first reserves for penguins and marine mammals, to protecting nearly one-third of all tropical coral species threatened with extinction and supporting alternative livelihoods that supplant the incentive to poach elephants, gorillas, and lions in sub-Saharan Africa. While we cannot feature all of the organizations, institutions, and government bodies with whom we maintain a collaborative strategy, most of our partners are listed below. We remain grateful for the assistance from all those who share in our work to conserve our last wild places and the animals that live there for future generations.
