Donate to protect wildlife and end the commercial trade in wildlife for human consumption

Wildlife Conservation Society Fights to Save Endangered Animals

As the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic unfolds, the wide-ranging impact of the commercial wildlife trafficking, particularly birds and mammals, for human consumption has never been clearer. And as the world contends with the consequences, the need to shut down this trade has never been more urgent.

Your gift supports the work of WCS to end the commercial trade in wildlife for human consumption, stop the spread of zoonotic diseases, and protect threatened and endangered species.

Habitat Destruction

Logging, mining, burning: human encroachment destroys homes and havens for wildlife.

We stand for wildlife

For 125 years, WCS has been dedicated to saving wildlife and wild places, powered by the expertise and science in our zoos, aquarium, and global conservation program.

Our legacy of success now positions us perfectly to take on the world’s most pressing conservation challenges—the zoonotic pandemic crisis, the decline in the world’s biodiversity, and the climate crisis—with urgent and bold action.

We focus on protecting the planet’s most important, ecologically intact places with the greatest biodiversity and resilience to climate change. With your help, we can secure a future worth celebrating.

WCS works to save wildlife and wild places in 60 countries, across the ocean, and in our 4 NY zoos and aquarium
