FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED1. In January 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, as a pandemic. Beginning March 16, 2020, all WCS's zoos and aquarium were temporarily closed to the public in accordance with New York State executive orders and guidance related to the pandemic. Outdoor exhibits at the Bronx Zoo, Central Park Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo and Queens Zoo reopened to the public on July 24, 2020. Indoor exhibits at those facilities and outdoor and indoor exhibits at the New York Aquarium reopened to the public on August 24, 2020. The reopened facilities are operating in accordance with New York State safety guidance and directives, including attendance capacity limitations. The operations of WCS's Global Conservation programs were also affected by local governmental and other guidance and requirements, which in some cases disrupted planned programmatic activity. The incidence of COVID-19 has therefore negatively affected WCS's operating results, with the greatest impacts on attendance driven revenues including gate admissions, membership fees and restaurant and merchandise sales. While the trend is attendance driven revenues since reopening has been positive, and is expected to continue. 2. A study by the Wildlife Conservation Society and partners produced a new analyses to pinpoint important forests for biodiversity conservation remaining in Central Africa. The results highlight the importance of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), northern Republic of Congo, and much of Gabon as the most important countries in Central Africa for safeguarding biodiversity and intact forests. The study combines new datasets on forests to identify where the most intact forests remain across this vast area with previous work that identified strongholds for bonobos, forest elephants, gorillas, and chimpanzees across the region. The results reveal that the Democratic Republic of Congo has the largest amount of priority areas in the region, containing more than half, followed by Gabon, the Republic of Congo, and Cameroon. The forests of Central Africa contain some of Earth's few remaining intact forests. These forests are increasingly threatened by infrastructure development, agriculture, and unsustainable extraction of natural resources (e.g., minerals, bushmeat, and timber), all of which is leading to deforestation and forest degradation, particularly defaunation, and hence causing declines in biodiversity and a significant increase in carbon emissions. 3. A team of Wildlife Conservation Society scientists have documented an unusual jaguar missing most of its tail crossing the border between Belize and Guatemala - the first confirmed transboundary crossing of a jaguar between the two countries. The adult male jaguar was first photographed at Hill Bank in the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area in Belize. Then in Guatemala the jaguar was recorded in camera trap surveys deployed in the community forest concessions of La Union and Rio Chanchich. It appears that he then returned to Belize where he was last photographed. This highlights the importance and potential for collaborative work between Belize and Guatemala and across the Maya Forest region. WCS and partners are working to secure key parcels in Belize's portion of the Maya Forest - the Maya Forest Corridor and the Northwest properties of Yalbac and Laguna Seca. These lands are critical to the larger tri-national forest's connectivity for jaguars and other wildlife. 4. Wildlife Conservation Society in Argentina recently delivered a new litter of specially trained livestock guardian dogs that work directly with herders to reduce conflict with pumas (Puma concolor) and other native carnivores living on the Patagonian steppe. The dogs watch over herds of domestic goats and sheep to keep predators away. As a result, herders do not shoot, poison, or trap wildlife, which includes not only pumas, but also several other cat species including Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi), pampas cat (Leopardus pajeros), and the threatened Andean cat (Leopardus jacobita), along with Patagonian foxes (Lycalopex griseus and Lycalopex culpaeus) and Andean condors (Vultur gryphus). The dogs are a mix of Anatolian shepherd and Great Pyrenees - two large, working breeds known to guard livestock. 5. The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) documented the hatchling of the Burmese roofed turtles (Batagur trivittata) - considered one of the most endangered turtles in the world. The species was believed to be extinct until WCS/TSA conservationists, along with the Myanmar Forest Department, rediscovered it in the wild in the early 2000s. Today, sandbanks used as nesting sites by females are monitored, and eggs are collected and incubated under natural conditions at a secure facility in Limpha Village, Sagaing Region, Myanmar. The offspring are head-started for eventual repatriation into the Chindwin River. 6. A new study by the University of Queensland and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), mapped mining regions and their proximity to protected areas. They found that mining influences more than 19 million square miles or 35 percent of the earth's land surface excluding Antarctica. Of that, eight percent of mining areas border or overlap with protected areas, seven percent with Key Biodiversity Areas, and 16 percent with wilderness. as demand for renewable energy, such as wind and solar, continues to grow, so do the required technologies and infrastructure. This in turn is driving an increase in demand for metals such as such as lithium, cobalt, copper, nickel and aluminum. The International Energy Agency estimates that switching to low-carbon sources of energy, like wind and solar, could halve global emissions. WCS recognizes the critical need for net zero carbon by 2050, including a long-term shift from fossil fuels to renewables. Careful strategic planning is urgently required to ensure that mining threats to biodiversity caused by renewable energy production do not surpass the threats averted by climate change mitigation and any effort to slow fossil fuel extraction and use. Currently, habitat loss and degradation threaten 80 percent of endangered species, while climate change directly affects 20 percent. 7. WCS released pics and video showing critically endangered Siamese crocodile hatchlings (Crocodylus siamensis) - among the world's most endangered crocodile species - swimming in a natural lake in Sre Ambel district of Koh Kong Province, Cambodia. The images were taken by a patrol from WCS's Crocodile Nest Protection Team working in collaboration with the Fisheries Administration and Koh Kong Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries. The team estimates 15 hatchlings, each around 30 centimeters long, swimming in the lake, part of a natural wetland that serves as an important refuge for juvenile Siamese crocodiles. The Siamese crocodile is listed as 'Critically Endangered' on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species. Once found throughout Southeast Asia, today it is restricted to mainly Cambodia with perhaps 500 or fewer individuals remaining there. Remnant populations also occur in Laos and Indonesia; it almost extinct in Thailand and Viet Nam. WCS's employs a multi-pronged approach to save Siamese crocodiles from extinction. Crocodile nests are protected by former hunters hired to search for and safeguard them. Law enforcement by a joint patrol team consisting of officers from the Fisheries Administration and local community members remove any illegal fishing gear that might entangle wild crocodiles, and stop habitat destruction. Education and awareness raising in local communities through regular meetings about the species conservation is critical, along with livelihood improvement. The project provides alternative livelihood options to improve community family income through aquaculture practice and to ensure that they are not overfishing at crocodile wetlands. 8. Researchers at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the University of Queensland (UQ) found that logging activity in Solomon Islands is associated with lower coral cover and structural complexity on adjacent reefs, as well as lower abundance of many types of fish commonly caught for food and sold at markets. The study found that coral reef areas that had experienced more sediment runoff from this deforestation were more likely to have low coral cover and high amounts of turf algae, a type of algae that can indicate degraded conditions. Proactive steps are needed now to ensure that landowners are armed with the knowledge they need to make an informed decision about leasing their land to logging degraded conditions. Proactive steps are needed now to ensure that landowners are armed with the knowledge they need to make an informed decision about leasing their land to logging.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED1. The Bronx Zoo welcomed a new resident to its facility an American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) named Amos. His bold personality and friendly demeanor will surely make him a favorite among those who are able to meet him though a Bronx Zoo in-person or virtual Animal Encounter session. His story is even bigger than his personality. In 2016 Amos was found in the Port of Corpus Christi with drooping wings and unable to fly. He was brought to the Wildlife Rescue Center at the nearby Texas State Aquarium where radiographs revealed that both wings were broken. Veterinarians determined that he had been shot in both wings, likely while in flight. After fully recovering at the Wildlife Rescue Center, Amos lived on exhibit at the Texas State Aquarium for a little more than a year until a permanent home could be found. Because of his engaging personality, he was an instant favorite among his keepers and visitors. Now a resident of the Bronx Zoo, Amos has joined nearly 200 animals that are part of the zoo's ambassador animal program. 2. The Bronx Zoo began to offer Virtual Encounters, which allows people from all over the country to meet some of their favorite animals from THE ZOO. Providing this platform has permitted us to remove the age restrictions that would normally exist with in-person experiences and give children of all ages the opportunity to meet some of our more sensitive animals. 3. The Bronx Zoo's Reptile House Exhibit Renovations were completed and installed four brand new exhibits. These exhibits are now home to poison dart frogs, leaf-tail geckos, satanic geckos, mantilla frogs, tomato frogs, eyelash vipers, and Ethiopian mountain vipers. The animals have been introduced into the exhibit and are thriving. Visitors were able to enjoy the new habitats and animals the day Reptile House reopened. A film crew from Animal Planet's THE ZOO documented the process of making and installing the Ethiopian mountain viper exhibit, so that it can be featured in an episode of the series. 4. The Bronx Zoo was contacted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding a confiscated keel-billed toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus). The bird is presumably of wild origin and was seized by authorities as it was being smuggled across the Mexico-United States border into California. After undergoing a federal quarantine, the toucan was transferred to the Bronx Zoo where it was eventually released onto exhibit in the World of Birds. This bird is the first keel-billed toucan to be exhibited at the Bronx Zoo since 2011. 5. The Bronx Zoo significantly expanded it's Holiday Lights experience by spreading the lanterns among five themed outdoor trails throughout the zoo (Africa, Asia, North America, Latin America, and Ocean) and one immersive Luminous Garden scene in Schiff Hall. We designed additional lightbox graphics to support wayfinding, restaurants, and retail, and interpret each of the new lantern trails by connecting visitors to stories of WCS's conservation work at our global field programs and zoos and aquarium. We collaborated with Digital and Web teams to create digital layers of interpretation for visitors to engage with throughout the event by scanning Quick Response (QR) codes on their smartphones. Visitors could access digital field guides with photos and information about the animals represented in the lanterns; watch video greetings in local languages from our global field staff; send holiday postcards to their loved ones; and send thank you messages to WCS staff around the world. 6. The Bronx Zoo has several births. Eight American bison calves born to their two herds of genetically pure bison. Three ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) births on the same day! Twins were born to a 4-year-old female, and a singleton was born to that female's mother who is 17-years-old. All three babies can be seen on exhibit together in Madagascar exhibit. A female mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) was born, the fourth offspring for sire Nigel, and brings the mandrill group size to six. A male California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) pup was born to a 10-year old female Margaretta. This is Margaretta's fifth pup born at the Bronx Zoo and brings the group to seven individuals. 7. The New York Aquarium Conservation Program's ongoing work in partnership with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute to track the movements of great whales in New York waters has expanded into New York Harbor, and gained a new partner in Equinor-the Norwegian state oil, gas and alternative energy company-who has the largest leases for offshore wind energy installations off of New York. Working together with Equinor and WHOI, the NYA have designed and installed a new kiosk in Ocean Wonders which gives visitors to the aquarium a chance to listen in near-real time to our monitoring of four species of great whales. 8. The New York Aquarium had a new harbor seal pup born during the year. The new arrival named Murphy is a female pup born to mother, Coral, and father, Pickles. Harbor seals are common along the east and west coasts of North America and frequently spotted in New York waters. They are a species protected in U.S. waters by the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Harbor seals and sea lions are just two of the over 300 species exhibited at the New York Aquarium. In addition to the birth, NYA welcomed Sidney a female harbor seal. Sidney was rescued by the Pacific Marine Mammal Center near Laguna Beach as an abandoned neonate. Despite efforts to prepare Sidney for release, she failed to demonstrate the ability to forage for food so a permanent home was sought for her by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). After completing a quarantine Sidney joined the rest of the harbor seals in her permanent home in Sea Cliffs. 9. The New York Aquarium saw the addition of Five recently hatched epaulette sharks (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) which are currently housed off exhibit in the touch tank at Ocean Wonders: Sharks! This small shark species found along the southern part of New Guinea and the northern coast of Australia only reaches about 3 feet in length. They live in shallow waters and tidal pools using their pectoral fins to "walk" on corals and rocks in search of food. They are adapted to the low oxygen level and relatively high temperature of the tidal pools. We also exhibit adult epaulette sharks in Ocean Wonders. 10. THe New York Aquarium had several other new additions. an Australian spotted lagoon sea jellies (Phyllorhiza punctata) from Waikiki Aquarium in for exhibit and subsequent reproduction. A Female nurse shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum) "Starla" was acquired from Gulf World Marine Park in Florida She has been moved to Ocean Wonders: Sharks! for acclimation and will join the Canyon's Edge exhibit. Lion's mane sea jellies (Cyanea capillata) and Japanese pinecone fish (Monocentris japonica) were acquired from the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT. Both species will be displayed in the Spineless exhibit. Lion's mane jellies are named for their long, dense trailing tentacles that are suggestive of a lion's mane. The pinecone fish have large scales or scutes that give them a look reminiscent of a pine cone.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C - THIRD ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED1. A baby North American porcupine born in February at the Prospect Park Zoo is making its public debut along the zoo's Discovery Trail. The young female porcupine is named Barb; a clever reference to the species' characteristic quills. She was born to mother, Needles, and father, Spike. This is the pair's first offspring. The porcupine's most recognizable physical characteristic is its sharp quills. They can have as many as 30,000 quills covering their bodies and use them as a defense against predators. Despite popular belief, porcupines cannot shoot their quills. North American porcupine quills have a tiny barb on each tip that, when hooked in skin, pull from the porcupine and painfully imbed in a predator's face, paws or body. The lost quills regrow to provide continued protection. At birth, the quills are very soft. They begin to harden a few hours after birth and continue to harden and grow as the animal matures. Young porcupines begin eating solid food as early as three weeks old, but will continue to nurse for about three months. North American porcupines live in healthy numbers across much of North America. Their range extends across most of Canada and the United States from Alaska to Texas. 2. The Prospect Part Zoo made improvements to the children's interactives in the marsh area including a remodeling of the lily pad walk and duck nest. New graphics were installed in the barnyard which included colorful and charming animal cutouts. A new exhibit in the Animal Lifestyles Building features the Chinese crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus). 3. The Prospect Park Zoo continued to expand it's turtle propagation programs. They had their first successful hatching of the Roti Island snake necked turtles. Roti Island snake-necked turtles are listed as one of the world's 25 rarest turtles. PPZ's breeding project is a collaboration with Bronx Zoo Herpetology to reintroduce the species to Rote Island, Indonesia. In addition the long-term breeding program for Chinese big-headed turtles (Platysternon megacephalum) has entered another breeding season. one of the pairs has successfully bred while others are being introduced. PPZ is one of the few zoos to successfully propagate this species and we continue to explore techniques to improve our rate of successful hatching and rearing. Breeding attempts with the Henkel's leaf-tailed geckos (Uroplatus henkeli) have resulted in a fertile egg. 4. The Queens Zoo debuted three new Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) cubs. The trio was born as a result of a breeding recommendation from the Canada Lynx Species Survival Plan (SSP), a cooperative breeding program designed to enhance the genetic viability of animal populations in zoos and aquariums accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Canada lynx are medium-sized cats that have a thick grayish-brown coat and short tail. They are easily identified by the pointed tufts of fur on their ears and cheeks. Their oversized paws act as snowshoes to prevent them from sinking in deep snow during the harsh winters of their native range, which spans Alaska, Canada, and portions of the northern and western United States. Canada lynx populations are healthy in some portions of their range, and the species is classified as Least Concern by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In the United States, they are protected under the Endangered Species Act where their numbers have declined due to fur trapping and habitat destruction. 5. The Queens Zoo welcomed a new young male Southern pudu (Pudu puda). "Chile" was born at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle and made the trip across the country to be paired with our female "Jello". Currently, there are just 35 Southern pudu in North America. These transfers are vital to keep the population stable and genetically diverse. Craig Gibbs, Assistant Curator and Pudu SSP Coordinator, is working with the Cervid Taxon Advisory Group to bring in new founders in the near future with the goal of strengthening the population maintained in zoos. 6. The Central Park Zoo saw additions to it's Tropic Zone. Our superb bird-of-paradise (Lophorina superba) pair produced a late season chick that was a surprise since both the dam and sire were already in molt. This is our sixth successful hatch in two years raising the total population in AZA institutions to 29 birds. CPZ was the only AZA institution to successfully hatch a chick this year. In August, a single African pygmy goose (Nettapus auritus) hatched from a pair that resides in the tropic aviary. This is a first for CPZ after many years of trying to breed this species. Also added was a plum headed parakeet (Psittacula cyanocephala) female from Tulsa to pair with our current male. The striking parakeet is native to the Indian subcontinent. as well as a plush-crested jay (Cyanocorax chrysops) as This medium sized South American jay is a new species for CPZ. There are currently only 37 birds in the AZA population and we hope to establish a breeding pair in the future. 7. The Central Park Zoo Polar Circle welcomed the hatching of a macaroni penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus). also hatched a gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua ellsworthi). This is the first gentoo hatch in quite some time for CPZ and we are pleased that the pairs are starting to have more reproductive success. two Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) hatched two weeks apart. This is the second year CPZ has had breeding success with this species.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D - OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTThe Wildlife Conservation Society along with a team of scientists from Sapienza University of Rome and the University of Queensland, conducted an analysis that reveals that many imperiled mammal species have become almost completely dependent on protected areas, and without them, would likely vanish. The scientists compared current distributions of a representative set of 237 threatened terrestrial mammal species from the 1970s to today, measuring changes in species' ranges and overlaid them with the protected area network in the past and present. They found that for 80 percent of the species, the proportion of range covered by protected areas has at least doubled in the last 50 years, and 10 percent of the species analyzed live predominantly on protected land. For example, around 80 percent of the range of the Greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is currently protected compared to just 3 percent in the 1970s, and the species has lost more than 99 percent of its distribution in the last 50 years. The saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) is one of the most threatened mammals in the world. It lost 70 percent of its distribution in the last 50 years and with the majority of its population found in two protected sites in Central Asia, with isolated populations elsewhere. African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) have suffered an 89 percent range loss, with just 15 percent of its range protected in 1970s, but 71.6 percent protected today. African lions (Panthera leo) have lost approximately 85 percent range loss; 16 percent of its range was protected in 1970s as compared to 64 percent protected today. Tigers (Panthera tigris) have experienced an 82 percent range loss; 4.5 percent was protected in the 1970s, 31 percent protected today. The study concludes that to ensure the long-term survival of mammals, and indeed other animals as well, global conservation policies must focus on securing those critically important protected areas and, at the same time, reward those efforts that ensure re-expansion and restoration of wildlife populations into territories beyond protected area boundaries. This means focusing on retaining Earth's remaining intact ecosystems that contain key protected areas and prioritizing efforts to restore habitat corridors between isolated reserves that best provide opportunities for movement and genetic exchange.
