FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED1. 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. 2. WCSs Peru Program is fighting wildlife trafficking through a campaign that leverages one of the most effective means of reaching a wide audience: Facebook. The campaign uses Facebook and other social media platforms to gauge attitudes toward the wildlife trade as well as inform the public about the many wildlife species and ecosystems imperiled by unsustainable exploitation. The initial response rates exceeded expectations; WCS staff estimated that a total of 247,634 people viewed at least one of the graphics shared on Facebook in only one month. The campaign continues on Facebook and Twitter. In partnership with the National Forest and Wildlife Service (SERFOR), and with the support of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), WCS also organized several workshops and talks on the theme of wildlife trafficking. 3. The Wildlife Conservation Societys Wildlife Crimes Unit (WCU), in collaboration with North Sumatra Police (POLDA SUMUT), arrested three wildlife traders in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Among the confiscated items were a 1.5 meter Sumatran tiger skin, pangolin scales, a snake skin, turtle shells, deer organs and stuffed Hawksbill turtle. 4. Scientists working for WCS discovered that the orange-lined triggerfish (Balistapus undulatus) a small but brilliantly colored predatory fish was consistently found among corals and algae that build reef systems. Triggerfish are known to reduce sea urchin species that degrade reef structure when they become too numerous, and the authors believe this relationship may explain the positive association of these fish species and reef builders. 5. Scientists from WCS, the Nature Conservancy, and several partners in Brazil and Peru have produced a geographic information system (GIS) roadmap to help guide conservation efforts at large scale in the Amazon River basin, a region roughly the size of the United States. The new spatial framework created with several major data sets and GIS technology is made up of a new hydrological and river basin classification, along with various spatial analysis tools, that can be used to better understand and mitigate the synergistic effects of deforestation and new or planned highways and dams across the Amazon Basin. 6. WCS India's WildSeve, A mobile technology initiative, is helping to address human-wildlife conflicts and has been implemented in 284 villages in India. WildSeve is a tool farmers and others can use to report a wildlife conflict incident, resulting in immediate assistance from WildSeve responders on motorcycles. This user-friendly mobile technology-based platform integrates a toll free number that farmers can call to report a wildlife conflict incident. The responders assist families in filing compensation forms with the government, including fair assessment of the damage, and - they act as intermediaries between people and government agencies, ensuring transparency. 7. A team of scientists from WCS, University of York, and Uganda Wildlife Authority have developed a new method of detecting illegal activities in protected areas by as much as 250 percent. Using ranger-collected data from SMART(Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool), the team developed a method to improve ranger patrol allocation, targeting different combinations of conservation priorities. The breakthrough methodology owes its success to the use of SMART, a free downloadable tool that combines software, training materials, and patrolling standards to conservation and protected area managers to improve patrolling methods. The tool is being increasingly used around the world and has already been implemented in 43 countries and in more than 120 protected areas. 8. Wildlife rangers from the Nouabal-Ndoki National Park, a protected area managed by WCS, arrested more than 30 poachers; seized over 100 kilograms of ivory; and detained six semi-automatic weapons around the limits of the park. This includes the arrest and conviction of an ivory trafficker tied to one the most notorious poaching rings in northern Congo. Almost one quarter of the worlds remaining forest elephants reside in northern Congo. Having suffered a serious decline of more than 60 percent across Central Africa over the past decade, protecting these elephants and their forests is of global importance. 9. WCS launched the Uganda Biodiversity Fund with support from USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) to help generate the resources needed to conserve Ugandas wildlife and natural heritage. The Uganda Biodiversity Fund will mobilize, manage, and channel financing in the form of grants and other financial support to institutions that are involved in implementation of work to protect key populations of elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, and other species. The fund will also help to support world-famous protected areas such as Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Falls National Park, and provide investments and financial support to protect ecosystems of importance for the economic livelihoods of communities throughout Uganda. 10. A team of Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)/Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) scientists working in Myanmar have reported the successful recovery of 44 fertile eggs of the critically endangered Burmese roofed turtle (Batagur trivittata) one of the worlds most endangered turtles with less than five females remaining in the wild. A combination of overharvesting of eggs, incidental loss in fishing gear, and habitat loss due to gold mining had pushed the species to the brink of extinction. But ongoing conservation work offers a glimmer of hope for the imperiled turtle. All told, 44 viable eggs have been recovered and are now in a protected incubation site where they receive 24 hour monitoring. The eggs are expected to hatch in early June. The hatchlings will be immediately transported to another facility and maintained in large pools for the next four or five years. Once the turtles are at a size thought safe from predation, they will be released back into the river. 11. WCS in collaboration with Cambodias Fisheries Administration (FiA) and the Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA), released 150 Endangered Asian giant softshell turtle (Pelochelys cantorii) hatchlings into their natural habitat along the Mekong River. The hatchlings are part of a community protection program designed to increase the wild population of the species, and had been collected from nests that were guarded by local communities. The Asian giant softshell turtle is listed on the IUCN Red List as globally Endangered. 12. WCS Cambodia team assisted in the rescue of 11 Asian Elephants from a mud hole. The mud hole where the elephants where trapped was a bomb crater left over from the Vietnam War that had been enlarged by farmers to store water. When local farmers discovered the elephants they notified the Department of Environment, who in turn notified WCS who were able to mobilize a rescue. WCS, in collaboration with Government of Cambodia through Ministry of Environment (MoE) and the Department of Environment (DoE) and local communities, has been conserving the Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary(KSWS) for over 15 years. KSWS is one of the most important sites for Asian Elephants in Cambodia and also supports other important wildlife populations. Elephant conservation work in KSWS is supported by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED1. The colony of little penguins (Eudyptula minor) that debuted in 2015 as a new species at WCSs Bronx Zoo has successfully produced a chick that is now on exhibit with the rest of the colony. This is the first time this species has bred at the Bronx Zoo in its 120-plus year history. Named for their small size and characteristic bluish hue, little penguins are also known as blue penguins, little blue penguins, and fairy penguins. Adults are only about 13 inches tall and weigh 2 to 3 pounds. They are the smallest of the 18 penguin species and native to coastal southern Australia and New Zealand. 2. An acoustic buoy recently deployed by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and WCSs New York Aquarium is making its first near real-time detections of two rare great whale species in the New York Bight, including the highly endangered North Atlantic right whale. North Atlantic right whales are particularly vulnerable to getting hit by ships, so any information on the whereabouts of these animals along the coast is important. 3. A new herd of bison is now on exhibit at the WCSs Bronx Zoo. The zoo received a gift of eight genetically pure American bison from the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux tribes. The seven female and one male bison are from the Yellowstone National Park bloodline, which are among the few pure herds remaining. The vast majority of present-day bison have small amounts of domestic cattle genes, a reflection of past interbreeding efforts when western ranchers tried to create a hardier breed of cattle. The historic transfer will further the Bronx Zoos long history of facilitating bison conservation projects in the western U.S., and marks the first time bison have been transferred by a tribe to a zoo. 4. Six American bison calves have been born at WCSs Bronx Zoo and are now on exhibit on the zoos Bison Range. The calves will help the Bronx Zoo further bison conservation efforts. The calves were born to a herd of seven females and one male that arrived at the zoo from Ft. Peck, Montana in November 2016. The herd was an historic gift from the Assiniboine and Sioux tribes and was significant because the Fort Peck bison are from the Yellowstone National Park bloodline, and are among the few pure bison remaining. 5. The Bronx Zoo added eight Indian gharials (Gavialis gangeticus) to the river habitat in JungleWorld, and they made their public debut just in time for Spring Break in New York City. This is the first time the Bronx Zoo has exhibited the species since 2000. JungleWorld opened in 1985 and is one of the marquee exhibits at the Bronx Zoo. It is an award-winning indoor Asian rainforest that features several multi-species habitats that create a total immersion experience for guests. The new gharials can be seen in a river that already serves as home to turtles and fish native to Asia. White-cheeked gibbons, mouse deer, Indian fruit bats, painted storks and numerous other species of birds can also be seen along the rivers edge. Gharial are a slender-snouted crocodilian native to northern Indian subcontinent. They are classified as Critically Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). 6. The herd of Pre David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus) at the WCSs Bronx Zoo got a little larger. Four fawns were born and are on exhibit with the herd. The four fawns, two males and two females, are all born to different mothers. The Pre David's deer might seem somewhat unassuming, but the species has some adaptations unlike any other deer. They have long tails, branch-like antlers, and splayed hooves that would indicate that they are adapted to live in a marsh-like environment, but no one knows for sure how the species evolved or the environment it once lived in the wild. Today, Pre Davids deer exist only in human care. They roam in deer parks, ranches, zoos, and have returned to China to live in reserves. The species is classified as Extinct in the Wild by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Bronx Zoo has maintained a herd of Pre David Deer since 1946 and, including the four new fawns, has produced 165 offspring over the years. The species is bred at the Bronx Zoo as part of the Species Survival Program (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). 7. A new exhibit in the Reptile House at the Bronx Zoo opened features the Grand Cayman iguana (Cyclura lewisi), also known as the blue iguana and highlights an amazing conservation success story. Once numbering fewer than 20 animals, the species has been brought back from the brink of extinction. The Zoological Health Program, based at the Bronx Zoo, has been working with partners in the Cayman Islands for more than 15 years offering veterinary support for efforts that include captive breeding, incubating and hatching of both wild and captive laid eggs, and head-starting hatchlings at a breeding facility to allow them to grow large enough to better avoid predators before being returned to the wild. 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 debuted on Animal Planet. Filmed over an 8-month period, 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 CONTINUED1. Two painted storks (Mycteria leucocephala) made their public debut at WCSs Prospect Park Zoo. Painted storks are large wading birds native to tropical regions of Asia. They are named for their striking black, white, and pink wing feathers, orange beaks, and pink legs. The rest of the plumage is largely white. The Prospect Park Zoo is home to a variety of beautiful exotic birds. Examples include Victoria crown pigeons, aracari toucans, wreathed hornbills, parrot finches, owls, and free roaming peafowl. The painted storks can be found in the zoos Discovery Trail aviary. WCS works to conserve landscapes in Asia that are home to critical populations of painted storks and a host of other wildlife. 2. Children who visit WCSs Prospect Park Zoo and Queens Zoo can delve into a conservation scientists work through the expanded WCS Quests experiential program. WCS Quests are geared toward children, but adults can also participate. The program allows visitors to learn about animals at the zoos and in the wild in a scavenger hunt format. The goal is to connect people to nature in an exciting way, as educators guide each guest interaction with live interpretation. Participants will receive a Quests map brochure at the start of the adventure at each zoo. They will then visit several stations spread around each park to complete science and conservation challenges. 3. An Andean bear cub (Tremarctos ornatus) born over the winter at WCSs Queens Zoo has made his public debut. This is the first Andean bear born in New York City. The male cub was born to mother, Nicole (four), and father, Bouba (six). They are also known as spectacled bears due to the markings on their faces that sometimes resemble glasses. They have characteristically short faces and are relatively small in comparison to some other bear species. As adults, males weigh between 250-350 pounds while adult females rarely exceed 200 pounds. 4. A white-naped crane chick (Grus vipio) hatched at WCSs Central Park Zoo has made its public debut. The chick is only the second of its species ever hatched at the Central Park Zoo. WCS breeds white-naped cranes 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. The species is exhibited and bred at both the Central Park Zoo and the Bronx Zoo. White-naped cranes are a migratory species native to East Asia including China, Russia, Japan, North and South Korea, and Mongolia. They are classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), with the wild population estimated to be between 5,500 and 6,500 individuals. The species is at risk because of loss of its wetland habitats to agriculture. 5. A southern pudu fawn (Pudu puda) the worlds smallest deer species was born at the WCSs Queens Zoo. The Queens Zoo has seen substantial success with its pudu breeding program in recent years having produced four fawns in the last five years. The species is classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). 6. One of the most popular exhibits at WCSs Central Park Zoo has a new species and its called macaroni. Six macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) were added to the Polar Circle exhibit. The three males and three females came to the Central Park Zoo from the Montreal Biodome and SeaWorld San Diego on a breeding recommendation from the Macaroni Penguin 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). The species is classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In the wild, macaroni penguins live on the southern tip of the South American continent, throughout the sub-Antarctic islands, and on the Antarctic Peninsula. Populations throughout its native range are decreasing due to climate change where higher temperatures lead to a loss of fish, krill, and crustaceans that make up its diet, and the degradation of coastal ecosystems which reduces nesting sites. WCS scientists are looking at how climate change is affecting penguin populations and working around the globe to address these marine conservation problems that continue to plague wildlife. In Latin America, WCS works to safeguard several species of penguins in coastal Argentina and Chile, and has helped establish marine protected areas in both countries. WCSs expansive Global Marine Program conducts conservation work and activities in 23 countries and all five oceans to help save marine life. 7. WCS Queens Zoo surveys of black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra), translocated to Belizes Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary 25 years ago reveal that the effort has been a great success, with monkeys now thriving throughout the reserve after going locally extinct 40 years ago. The surveys conducted by WCSs Queens Zoo in collaboration with the Belize Audubon Society last month counted 66 individual howler monkeys from at least 15 different social units with evidence of many other groups inhabiting areas up to 20 kilometers away from the original release sites. All told, the survey team believes that as many as several hundred howlers are likely to live in the sanctuary release sites. All told, the survey team believes that as many as several hundred howlers are likely to live in the sanctuary. 8. A tufted deer fawn (Elaphodus cephalophus) was born at WCSs Prospect Park Zoo and is made its public debut. The new fawn is a male and was born to mother, Lucy, and father, Gage. This is Lucys seventh fawn. Tufted deer are a small species of Asian deer named for the thick tuft of black hair on top of their head. They are closely related to the muntjacs, another group of small deer species exhibited at several WCS parks. While not endangered, tufted deer populations suffer from overhunting and habitat loss in its native range which spans central China and northeastern Myanmar. WCS works in these areas to help protect and save local species and their habitats.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D - OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTThe Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), along with the Waitt Foundation, the blue moon fund (bmf), and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), announced a major commitment to expand the worlds marine protected areas (MPAs). The MPA Fund has been created at a pivotal moment in time; a dramatic increase in ocean protection is urgently needed. We have lost 95 percent of ocean predators, a third of coral reefs are severely degraded and the majority of the worlds fisheries are over-exploited. Today, while close to 15 percent of land is set aside for conservation, only 3.5 percent of the oceans are formally protected, with less than 2 percent secured in full no-fishing zones.
