Schedule D, PART X - FIN 48 FOOTNOTE	WCS recognizes the benefit of tax positions when it is more-likely than-not that the position will be sustainable based on the merits of the position. There are certain transactions which could be deemed "Unrelated Business Income" and would result in a tax liability. Management reviews transactions to estimate the potential tax liabilities using a threshold of more likely than not of being sustained. It is management's estimation that there are no material tax liabilities that need to be recorded.
Schedule D, PART V - SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION	Endowment funds are used to support WCS programs and projects as designated by the donors in furthering the overall mission of WCS.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED	HERE IS A SAMPLE OF ACHIEVEMENTS THIS YEAR: 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. In FY 2015, the wcs 96 elephant campaign had 197 partners across 45 states, 96 Elephants has helped in banning ivory sales in New York, New Jersey and California as well as currently supporting proposed bans in CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, MD, OK, OR, RI, TX, VT, and WA. 2. WCS provided technical assistance to the Belize Fisheries Department in initiating a new monitoring program using unmanned aerial vehicles (i.e. conservation drones) to curtail unsustainable levels of illegal fishing. Besides coastal development, unregulated and unreported fishing are some of the largest threats to Belize's fishing industry. This is the first use of conservation drones to monitor marine protected areas. 3. Researchers with the Wildlife Conservation Society and other partners in India are using high-tech solutions to zero in on individual tigers in conflict and relocate them out of harm's way for the benefit of both tigers and people. In recent tiger-conflict cases involving both a human fatality and the predation of livestock, both occurring near two of India's national parks, WCS scientists helped to identify problem tigers using stripe pattern-matching software and additional information to make the connections. Both tigers have been captured and relocated to a nearby zoo. 4. WCS scientists working in Madagascar played a pivotal role in helping to create the country's first marine sanctuary for sharks, part of a new law to safeguard marine resources and the communities that rely on them. On February 2, 2015, the Malagasy government announced the initiation of the law that establishes the new "shark park" in Antongil Bay, a 1,446-square-mile body of water slightly larger than Long Island Sound. 5. Wildlife Conservation society has worked with fishing communities in Madagascar to develop management plans for two new marine parks. These areas provide hope for coral-reef conservation and fisheries management in the face of energy development, illegal fishing and climate change. WCS's Bemahafaly Randriamanantsoa led an expedition in 2015 to establish a baseline of biodiversity for the newly protected reefs. The community led marine-protection efforts like locally enforced "no take" zones have become a model for marine conservation in Madagascar. 6. A scientific team from WCS, Myanmar's Nature and Wildlife Conservation Division - MOECAF, and National University of Singapore (NUS) has rediscovered a bird previously thought to be extinct. Jerdon's babbler (Chrysomma altirostre) had not been seen in Myanmar since July 1941, where it was last found in grasslands near the town of Myitkyo, Bago Region near the Sittaung River. The team found the bird while surveying a site around an abandoned agricultural station that still contained some grassland habitat. 7. A research team led by the Wildlife Conservation Society confirmed the sighting of a deer with vampire like fangs known as the Kashmir Musk Deer - one of seven similar species found in Asia - this was the first sighting in over 60 years. The species is categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss and poaching. 8. The Wildlife Conservation Society's Russia Program, in partnership with the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve and Udegeiskaya Legenda National Park, released a camera trap slideshow of a family of Amur tigers in the wild showing an adult male with family. These series of photos show an adult female and three cubs following the "tiger dad" along the Russian forest. Scientists note this is a first in terms of photographing this behavior, as adult male tigers are usually solitary. Also included was a photo composite of a series of images showing the entire family as they walked past the a camera trap over a period of two minutes. These images confirm that male Amur tigers do participate in family life.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED	1. Bronx Zoo reopened it Children Zoo after undergoing renovations. Species new to the Children's Zoo include giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), Linne's Two- toed Sloth (Choloepus didactylus), South American coatimundi (Nasua nasua) and the world's smallest deer: the pudu (Pudu puda). Other wildlife favorites returning to the children's zoo include American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis), black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus), and South American squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) which now live on an island habitat surrounded by wading Caribbean flamingoes (Phoenicopterus ruber) and other dabbing waterfowl. 2. The New York Aquarium continued construction of Ocean's Wonders, a 57,000-square-foot building that will house more than 115 species of marine wildlife including sharks, skates, and rays. This is all progress in rebuilding and the transformation of the new York aquarium, post hurricane sandy. 3. The Bronx Zoo debuted the first gelada baboon born in the U.S. in 13 years. Gelada baboons are found only in the highlands of Ethiopia, and the Bronx Zoo is the only wildlife facility in the U.S. that has a group of geladas. The grass-eating apes are sometimes called "bleeding heart baboons" because of the red patch of skin on their chests, which becomes more conspicuous on females during mating season. Males are known for their impressive mane of back hair. 4. A colony of Eudyptula minor, known variously in English as little penguins, blue penguins and fairy penguins, has made its debut in the zoo's aquatic bird house. The smallest species of penguin, the adults - and these are all adults, appearance notwithstanding - stand about 13 inches tall and weigh under 3 pounds. They were hatched at a zoo in Sydney, Australia. The Bronx Zoo becomes only the third American zoo with little penguins. 5. The Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium welcomed a harbor seal pup on May 27,2015, only the second harbor seal born there in the last 15 years. The wide-eyed male pup has a silver and black spotted coat and was born weighing 22 pounds. The pup is gaining half a pound to a pound a day, according to the aquarium. Adult harbor seals can weigh up to 250 pounds. 6. Scientists at the Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium discovered a nursery for sand tiger sharks in Great South Bay on Long Island. Located approximately 65 miles from mid-town Manhattan and situated between Long Island and Fire Island, the Great South Bay is a place where juvenile sand tiger sharks collect in mass to feed and grow. Juvenile sand tiger sharks range in size from 9 inches to 4 feet and generally remain in a nursery for 3 to 4 years until they reach between 8 to 10 feet. As adults, the sharks will continue their migratory lifestyle swimming in the surf zone and shallow bays to the continental shelf from Cape Cod to Delaware Bay during the summer, swimming southward for the winter. The researchers made the discovery using acoustic tags, devices that enable scientists to track marine animals in real time as they travel through their environment. 7. The Bronx Zoo hosted the first annual New York City Student Visionmaker fair where students from 11 public middle and high schools used the web-based Visionmaker.nyc platform developed by WCS Senior Conservation Ecologist Eric Sanderson and his team to compete in a fair with their vision for "A Greener Future for New York City." The platform allows users to examine and manipulate urban ecosystems throughout N.Y.C. to learn how their decisions could affect the city and nature, including energy use, storm water drainage, and biodiversity. 8. The Wildlife Conservation Society launched its Blue York campaign to protect the New York seascape. Funding was raised to purchase satellite tags to learn more about migrating whales near the New York coast. The campaign also focused on banning plastic microbeads from entering waterways and poisoning wildlife. 9. There have been a number of significant births and hatchings this spring/early summer including snow leopards, sea lions, red pandas, giraffes, gorillas, markhors, fennec foxes, Angolan colobus, Timor pythons, king cobras, lesser bird of paradises, elegant crested tinamous.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C - THIRD ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED	1. The herd of American bison at the Wildlife Conservation Society's (WCS) Queens Zoo just got bigger with the addition of three new females from the Bronx Zoo. Bison, which today number in the hundreds of thousands, remain a unique icon of North American culture and natural history. However, the bison's important ecological role in its former landscapes has not been restored, and the vast majority of bison occur in commercial herds. Bison are a keystone species that influence plant and animal communities where they range. Plant diversity is greater in areas where bison graze, which also helps to support increased populations and diversity of birds and other mammal species in the same habitats. WCS has set up a multi-stakeholder, transboundary initiative with the objective of working with partners to achieve the ecological restoration of bison across its range in North America. 2. The Queens Zoo has successfully bred critically endangered Puerto Rican crested toads (Peltophryne lemur) for reintroduction to their native Puerto Rico. The Queens Zoo started breeding the species this year as part of a collaborative effort with Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) zoos to boost the wild population. Puerto Rican crested toads are brown to yellow-brown in color and covered with warts and blackish spines. The tadpoles were sent to Puerto Rico where biologists from the Caribbean Ecological Services and the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (PRDNER) introduced them to their low-lying rocky habitats. 3. The Central Park Zoo opened an exhibit for rescued grizzly bears. The exhibit opened as the new home for two adult female grizzlies, Betty and Veronica, who were rescued in 1995 and brought to the Bronx Zoo. Betty originally came to New York from Montana and Veronica from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Both had become too accustomed to humans, and local authorities considered them a danger to people. 4. Central Park Zoo is celebrating the arrival of New York City's first royal baby - a king penguin chick. The chick is the first king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) ever hatched in New York City. The landmark hatching is the result of the expertise and careful husbandry techniques practiced by the zoo's keepers and curatorial staff. 5. A southern pudu fawn (Pudu puda) was born at the WCS's (Wildlife Conservation Society) Queens Zoo. The pudu is the world's smallest deer species. The arrival of the fawn brings the total number of pudu on exhibit at the Queens Zoo to three. This is the third year in a row this pair has successfully raised a fawn. Southern pudu are native to Chile and Argentina and are designated Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Using research and conservation practices, WCS is working in the pudu's range countries to grapple with ways to curb habitat loss and other threats to pudu and other native wildlife. 6. There have been a number of significant births and hatchings this spring/early summer including snow leopards, sea lions, red pandas, banded mongoose, king penguin, scaly-sided mergansers, pink-eared ducks and Baer's pochards, and a Roosevelt elk.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D - OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT	The Government of Bolivia, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and a number of Bolivian research and conservation organizations launched a new scientific expedition, Identidad Madidi, into the heart of Madidi National Park-the most biodiverse protected area in the world-in an effort to describe still unknown species and to showcase the wonders of Bolivias extraordinary natural heritage at home and abroad. The expedition officially began on June 5th 2015 and will last for 18 months as a team of Bolivian scientists will work to expand existing knowledge on Madidis birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish along an altitudinal pathway descending more than 6,000 meters (more than 19,000 feet) from the mountains of the high Andes into the tropical Amazonian forests and grasslands of northern Bolivia. Madidi boasts what many believe to be the greatest concentration of biodiversity in a protected area in the world- with magnificent species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish. The team registered 627 butterflies, including 115 new records for Bolivia and 424 new records for Madidi; 532 bird species, 23 new to the park; and an incredible 930 vertebrate species, at least 150 of which are new records.
