WCS stands for wildlife and wild places. As the world’s premier wildlife conservation organization, WCS has a long track record of achieving innovative, impactful results at scale. We run programs spanning more than 3 million biologically critical square miles in more than 50 countries and all the world's oceans. We build on a unique foundation: Our reach is global; we discover through best-in-class science; we protect through work on the ground with local and indigenous people; we inspire through our world-class zoos, aquarium, and education programs; and we leverage our resources through partnerships and powerful policy influence. Our nearly 4,000 diverse, passionately committed team members in New York City and around the world work collectively to achieve our conservation mission.

Since 1971, Earthwatch has protected our shared planet, engaging people worldwide in scientific field research and education in order to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment. Our vision is a world in which we live within our means and in balance with nature. Our research program involves a global community of researchers, conservation volunteers, NGOs, and businesses, working together towards a sustainable environment. Earthwatch supports about 60 projects across nearly 40 countries, and draws $20 million in annual revenues, with more than 85% of its budget supporting science research and engagement, and going towards programmatic support. Since 1971 Earthwatch has inspired 93,000 volunteers to join vital conservation research projects in the field, helping to make us the best environmental volunteer non-profit organization in the world. Earthwatch supports research projects in four key areas: • Ocean Health - Coastal ecosystems, marine biodiversity conservation • Wildlife & Ecosystems - Biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, sustainable forestry, freshwater • Climate Change - Adaptation, mitigation • Archaeology & Culture - Sacred landscapes, indigenous knowledge systems

The School for Field Studies (SFS) is a unique 501c3 nonprofit academic institution headquartered in Beverly, MA. It was founded in Boston in 1981 by a small group of visionary individuals. Their mission addressed the critical need to increase environmental literacy and sustainably manage the world's resources. They did this by pioneering experiential, field-based education for young people. Today, SFS is known throughout the United States as the premier undergraduate environmental study abroad program. Over 20,000 students have participated in our programs, and over 150 colleges and universities are affiliated with SFS. Courses on ecology, resource management, and socioeconomics provide the basis of our three-pronged mission to educate students, disseminate research, and reciprocate to host communities by sharing that research. Each SFS field center offers a theme of study based on the local ecosystem and needs of the local community. Our programs include: • Australia: Rainforest Studies • Bhutan: Climate and Sustainable Futures • Cambodia: Environmental Justice and Mekong Ecologies • Chile: Climate Studies • Costa Rica: Ecological Resilience • Croatia: Marine Megafauna • Italy: Sustainable Food Systems • Kenya: Endangered Species • Panama: Tropical Island Biodiversity • Peru: Amazon Studies • Tanzania: Wildlife Management • Turks and Caicos Islands: Marine Resource The SFS model offers students a comprehensive and balanced education firmly grounded in research and real-world application. Our centers have established a long-term presence in the countries where we operate, fostering meaningful relationships with our communities and enabling us to study diverse ecosystems over extended periods. Our interdisciplinary curriculum reflects the intricate and multifaceted nature of the environmental issues that we investigate. Substantial time spent in the field allows students to directly experience the topics they are studying and cultivate practical skills.
