FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED	1. WCS continued its 96 elephants campaign to stop the killing, stop the trafficking, and stop the demand. The campaign, named after the number of elephants gunned down each day by poachers in Africa, is designed to bring together the world citizens, partners, thought leaders and change law makers to leverage collective influence to protect key elephant populations and reduce ivory trafficking and demand. We have field conservation operations in close to 60 nations and all the world's oceans and we have supported the creation or expansion of roughly 245 protected areas. We are leading the charge in the fight against wildlife trafficking, working hand-in-hand with law enforcement around the world to end the trade. We are in 12 African countries that have elephants. We oversee ranger teams and manage national parks. We partner with communities and conduct pioneering research. At the Wildlife Conservation Society, we don't think the herd mentality is such a bad thing. Elephant herds are compassionate, giving, and capable of great feats-and when we work together, we too can do so much. 96 Elephants partners are uniting to help spread the word so that people everywhere stop buying ivory and end the senseless slaughter. 2. The Wildlife Conservation Society working in collaboration with Cambodia's Ministry of Environment (MoE), discovered 19 nests of the giant ibis (Thaumatibis gigantea) during the breeding season in the Northern Plains of Cambodia in Preah Vihear Province. Community members and conservationists worked together under the Bird Nest Protection Program to protect the nests from human disturbances and other threats. The giant ibis, Cambodia's national bird, is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, and occurs only in Cambodia and the Lao People's Democratic Republic. About 99 percent of the global population, estimated to contain 194 mature individuals, lives in Cambodia, making it the most important country in the world for giant ibis conservation. 3. Conservationists from the Ministry of Environment (MoE), Wildlife Conservation Society and local communities discovered an Endangered masked finfoot nest for the first time in four years in the Kulen Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary (KPWS) in Preah Vihear Province. This site is the only confirmed breeding location in Cambodia for this very rare species. The masked finfoot (Heliopais personatus) is listed on the IUCN Red List as Endangered, as its global population of less than 1,000 individuals is declining at an alarming rate. This riverine species lives in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Little is known about its numbers in Cambodia. 4. Experts from WCS's Global Conservation Programs and WCS's Bronx Zoo assisted Cuban conservationists in the release of 10 Cuban crocodiles (Crocodylus rhombifer) into Cuba's Zapata Swamp as part of an ongoing recovery strategy for this species. These genetically pure crocodiles came from a breeding facility near the Zapata swamp. Hybridization with American crocodiles, which occur in the Southwestern tip of the Zapata Peninsula, is an ongoing issue and has contributed to the Cuban crocodile's continuing decline. Cuban crocodiles face other threats, such as an increase in illegal hunting in recent years, so the release of captive bred Cuban crocodiles and the protection of these reptiles from poaching and hybridization is critical to the survival of the species in the wild. The critically endangered Cuban crocodile has the smallest, most restricted geographic distribution among all living crocodilian species, being only found in parts of the Zapata and Lanier swamps. 5. The Wildlife Conservation Society and Fisheries Administration (FiA) announced that the eggs of nine Siamese crocodiles have hatched at the Koh Kong Reptile Conservation Center (KKRCC). Listed on IUCN's Red List as Critically Endangered, the global population of Siamese crocodiles is declining at an alarming rate. This species lives only in Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. The total population is around 410 wild adults, of which 100-300 live in Cambodia, making it the most important country for the conservation of this species. 6. The Wildlife Conservation Society, World Wildlife Foundation and BirdLife International launched the Trillion Trees program, a 25-year initiative to help implement and scale global forest commitments and spur greater ambitions towards protecting and restoring one trillion trees by 2050-the number needed to reverse the global decline in tree cover. The planet is losing 10 billion trees per year, leading to widespread impacts on biodiversity, carbon sequestration, local economies and human health. The partners-three of world's largest conservation organizations, which collectively work in over 120 countries-will create tailored solutions, including an emphasis on pilot projects that involve corporate actors. In the coming years, the Trillion Trees partners will expand these initial activities and mobilize financing for other priority areas for solutions that account for local forestry and related social and economic issues. 7. The Wildlife Conservation Society staff in Congo continued its efforts to save as many parrots as possible. These parrots - many of which were injured - were confiscated from wildlife traffickers by rangers and are being held in a rescue facility constructed and maintained by WCS. Wildlife traffickers catch the parrots in glue traps sometimes by the hundreds. Conservationists estimate an astounding 20 parrots die for every one that makes it into a pet store. Prices on the illegal market for wild parrots have quintupled over the last year leading to an explosion of trafficking. WCS has partnered with the Congolese government to increase patrols around trafficking routes and launch more investigations into trafficking networks. This once very abundant species of the forests of West, Central, and East Africa is unfortunately now threatened by out of control international trade. In Ghana alone, African grey parrot populations are estimated to have declined by 90-99 percent. forests that were once full of their "music" are now eerily quiet. 8. Three nests of the Critically Endangered Red-headed vulture were found in January in Cambodia's Chhep Wildlife Sanctuary by conservationists from the Ministry of Environment, Wildlife Conservation Society and local communities. The population of this species in Cambodia is possibly less than 50 individuals. These nest discoveries give hope that conservation efforts may save this species from extinction. Global vulture populations are declining at an alarming rate. Cambodia's three vulture species - Red-headed (Sarcogyps calvus), Slender-billed (Gyps tenuirostris), and White-rumped (Gyps bengalensis) - are all listed on the IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered. Cambodia supports the largest population of vultures in Southeast Asia, but there only a few hundred individuals left in the country. 9. A decade long study led by WCS of Western Equatorial Africa's gorillas and chimpanzees came to AN end. The study found that the vast majority of these great apes (80 percent) exist outside of protected areas, and gorilla populations are declining by 2.7 percent annually. A finding that supports the continued status of the species as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Chimpanzees are listed as Endangered. The combined field time spent by researchers collecting data for the study totaled approximately 61,000 days (or 167 person-years) of time. Researchers walked more than 8,700 kilometers (5,400 miles)-a distance longer than the north-south axis of the African continent, or from New York to London-while collecting data on great ape nests that was used to generate population estimates and trends. The main factors responsible for the decline of gorillas and chimpanzees are illegal hunting, habitat degradation, and disease. At the same time, it was clear that where wildlife guards were present, above all in protected areas with intact forests, both gorillas and chimpanzees can thrive. An additional threat to great apes - as well as human health - is the Ebola virus disease. Continued research into developing a vaccine and the means to deliver it are priorities, as are educational efforts on how to avoid spreading the disease and transmission between humans and great apes.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED	1. A baby gelada (Theropithecus gelada) made its public debut at the Bronx Zoo. The Bronx Zoo is the only zoo in the U.S. breeding geladas and is one of only two that exhibit the species. Geladas are primates that are endemic to Ethiopia. They are sometimes called "gelada baboons"bleeding heart baboons" for the characteristic red patch of skin on their chests, but are more closely related to mangabeys. The female's red patch becomes more pronounced during the mating season to attract males. The males have a beautiful flowing cape of long hair on their backs that resembles a shawl. 2. A snow leopard cub (Panthera uncia) born at the Bronx Zoo made its public debut. Snow leopards are sometimes referred to as "ghost cats" due to their pale grey coloration that allows them to easily blend into the rocks and snow. The Bronx Zoo is a leader in snow leopard breeding and conservation and has a long history of success with the species. More than 70 cubs have been born at the Bronx Zoo - more than any other zoo in North America - and the Bronx was the first zoo in the United States to exhibit the species in 1903. The Bronx Zoo breeds snow leopards as part of the 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). Snow leopards are native to remote mountains of Central Asia and parts of China, Mongolia, Russia, India and Bhutan. WCS has worked for decades on snow leopard conservation programs in the field. As a result of ongoing conservation efforts, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) recently reclassified snow leopards from Endangered to Threatened. The species' survival is still at risk and continues to face threats that stem from human activities such as habitat loss and illegal killings. 3. A baby Angolan colobus monkey (Colobus angolensis) was born at the Bronx Zoo. The species is native to northern Angola and parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo, with a second population found in Tanzania and Kenya. They are arboreal and live in thick jungle ecosystems. Their slim bodies and long tails help them balance while moving through treetops in search of leaves, fruits and seeds to eat. Although their population is classified as "Least Concern" by the The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Angolan colobus monkeys are threatened by habitat loss from deforestation and agriculture. The Wildlife Conservation Society works throughout Africa and within the colobus money's range to save wildlife and their habitats. 4. The Bronx Zoo has a long, successful history working with and breeding slender-horned gazelles (Gazella leptoceros), and their new home is sure to make this beautiful gazelle a highlight of the zoo's African Plains exhibit. The Bronx Zoo's African Plains is an expansive habitat home to giraffes, zebras, lions, nyala, African wild dogs, spotted hyena, ostrich, Thomson's gazelles and more. The new exhibit space provides a naturalistic habitat and an up-close view of the endangered gazelles. The new exhibit features tall grasses, shade trees, and sand - all which are found in the slender-horned gazelles' native range in arid parts of North Africa including Algeria, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. Slender-horned gazelles are classified as Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The species range is highly fragmented and isolated populations across North Africa contain very small numbers in each location. The total population of wild slender-horned gazelles continues to decline due to poaching and human activity. IUCN estimates that there are only a few hundred remaining in the wild. 5. The New York Aquarium opened its newest exhibit the Donald Zucker and Barbara Hrbek Zucker Ocean Wonders: Sharks! The three-story, 57,500-square-foot exhibit building, with 9 dynamic galleries, will drive awareness of the importance of sharks to the health of the world's ocean; educate visitors about the severe threats sharks face; and inspire guests to protect the surprisingly diverse and beautiful marine wildlife here in New York. In total, Ocean Wonders: Sharks! showcases more than 115 marine species, including 18 species of sharks and rays, to tell the 450 million-year-old-story of sharks; their role as top predators; their vulnerability in a world where 100 million sharks every year are lost to unsustainable fishing; and the surprising diversity of sharks and other wildlife in the waters of New York. The exhibit highlights the work that WCS' New York Aquarium scientists are doing to protect sharks throughout the region, as well as the conservation efforts of WCS experts globally to protect sharks; and illustrates how the choices we all make in our day-to-day lives affects sharks and their marine habitats. 6. The New York Aquarium has opened an ocean-side grill that will serve up sustainable seafood and tips on how to eat responsibly as stewards of the world's ocean. The grill is a no single-use plastic zone. All food is served on environmentally-friendly packaging: no plastic straws, cups, bags or other items. The New York Aquarium educates their visitors each day about how everyone can be stewards of the ocean. Now they have taken their messaging to the millions enjoying the boardwalk and beach in Coney Island. 7. The Bronx Zoo had two black and rufous elephant shrews (Rhynchocyon petersi) born in Mouse House. These offspring are significant births for this population and were hand-reared at the Wildlife Health Center. The Bronx Zoo has been instrumental to sustaining the Association of Zoos and Aquariums population, which consists of only 13. In addition the Bronx Zoo welcomed the birth of a female Grevy's zebra (Equus grevyi) foal, and several births for many of their lemur species with a total of four ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta), four collared lemurs (Eulemur collaris) and three red-ruffed lemurs (Varecia rubra). 8. "The Zoo" a reality show that takes viewers behind the exhibits by providing a look at what is needed to operate a zoo in addition to all the work being done in the city and worldwide to protect and save animal species followed up its debut on Animal Planet last year with an all new Season 2. The show focuses on the stories of dozens of animals and experiences at the Bronx Zoo, and its critical mission to conserve wildlife around the globe. It also highlights the diverse community of people who work at the zoo, and how their expertise and varied skills come together to provide the highest quality care for the animals. Jim Breheny, Director of the Bronx Zoo and EVP of Zoos and Aquarium at the Wildlife Conservation Society said: "Animal Planet's The Zoo gives viewers an opportunity to see what happens every day at the Bronx Zoo, presenting an uncontrived and unscripted look at how we go about caring for the animals and linking our work at the zoo to preserving species in the wild."
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C - THIRD ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED	1. The Prospect Park Zoo added a male member of Africa's smallest wild-feline species to its exhibits. The diminutive black-footed cat is native to Southern Africa, where it tends to keep to itself, hunting birds and rodents at night with the aid of its large eyes and razor-sharp claws. The breed has seen better days, however, and a loss of habitat coupled with poaching and indiscriminate trapping led the International Union for Conservation of Nature to classify black-footed cats as vulnerable, a designation the species has held since 2002. Prospect park also welcomed the return of Prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus), a single male Reeves' muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi) and a second black pacu (Colossoma macropomum) was added to the Amazon Flooded Forest exhibit. 2. The Central Park Zoo successfully hatched three superb bird-of-paradise (Lophorina superba) this year. CPZ has worked with this difficult to breed species, native to New Guinea, since 2007 and has focused on developing improved husbandry and strategies to foster successful breeding. The three CPZ chicks are the first to successfully hatch outside the San Diego Zoo in 14 years. Collectively, there are only five AZA institutions involved in the program and there were only 22 birds in the total program population at the outset of this season. San Diego has hatched one bird to date this season and we now have a total AZA population of 26 birds. Each successful hatching is critical to sustain and grow the population. 3. The Queens Zoo opened a new exhibit area for Eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina). A dozen box turtles were sent to the Queens Zoo as a result of law enforcement confiscations. The exhibit will be open only when staffed to ensure the safety of the turtles. It will provide an intimate area for guests to sit and learn about the turtles with live interpreters. 4. The Prospect Park Zoo expanded its turtle propagation program with the addition of a pair of black breasted leaf turtles (Geoemyda spengleri). Prospect Park Zoo will participate in breeding these animals in a joint program with Bronx Zoo Herpetology. The species is under great pressure in its native Vietnam due to the food and pet trade. 5. The Central Park Zoo welcomed the addition of a King penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus), their third successful hatched chick, as well as a Lilac-crowned amazon parrot (Amazona finschi). the Central Park Zoo is the only zoo in North America that is currently breeding this species. 6. The Queens Zoo had several new births including six owlets in the second successful year of breeding in our burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) exhibit, another pudu (Pudu puda) fawn, the fifth born at the Queens Zoo, and a Jacob's four horned sheep (Ovis aries) lamb, born on the domestic side of the zoo. Both fawn and lamb were big hits with the zoo guests.
