Prevented Ocean Plastic Competitors

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 ocean is truly awesome—but it is not invincible. Ocean Conservancy is a U.S.-based organization that works globally to protect the ocean. We work on protecting biodiversity, advancing climate solutions and preventing ocean plastics. Together, we are securing a healthy ocean and a thriving planet, forever and for everyone.
