At the Wildlife Conservation Society, we harness the power of our zoos and aquarium in New York City and our field conservation work around the globe to save wildlife and wild places. Our model: connecting millions of visitors at our urban wildlife parks with the largest and longest-standing field conservation program.
In New York, we run the leading zoo in the US, the Bronx Zoo, as well as the Central Park Zoo, Queens Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, and the New York Aquarium. We also employ the largest field-based conservation program, operating in more than 50 countries. These two activities are deeply connected and mutually supportive.
Our planet faces many big conservation challenges. No one person or organization can tackle these challenges alone, but together we can. WWF-US.
For more than 50 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature.
The world’s leading conservation organization, WWF works in 100 countries and is supported by over 1 million members in the United States and six million globally. WWF’s unique way of working combines global reach with a foundation in science, and involves action and partnership at every level from local to global to ensure the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature.
The Jane Goodall Institute is a global, community-led conservation organization founded in 1977 that advances the vision and work of Dr. Jane Goodall through 25 chapters around the world. Each of our programs is rooted in Jane’s legacy of inspiring hope and transforming it into action.
Here is what we are focused on at JGI USA:
🔍 Wildlife research & science — Continuing Jane’s groundbreaking research into animal behavior, especially chimpanzees, at Gombe Stream Research Center in Tanzania.
🌿 Community-led conservation — Working hand-in-hand with local communities to address the root causes of habitat loss and build sustainable futures, which is our signature Tacare approach.
Wildlife rehabilitation — Providing world-class care for rescued chimpanzees and other at-risk species at our Tchimpounga sanctuary in the Republic of the Congo.
🌱 Youth empowerment — Inspiring young changemakers through our Roots & Shoots program, which equips youth everywhere to take action for people, animals, and the environment. Roots & Shoots is active in 75 countries and counting.
Together, we’re carrying forward Dr. Jane Goodall’s mission of hope in action — protecting wildlife, uplifting communities, and inspiring generations to care for the planet we all share. 🌍💚
