The WCS Central Africa team continued to work with partners, local and national, to help combat the trafficking and sale of pangolins and their scales, using a variety of innovative methods by leveraging conservation and law enforcement knowledge. Pangolins are now considered to be the most trafficked animal, not only in the Republic of Congo, but across the globe. Population numbers of these scaly mammals are declining across Africa and Asia due to the high demand for pangolin scales and meat, which are used in traditional medicine and considered to be a delicacy in countries like China and Vietnam. In Congo, pangolins are still sold as meat in markets in urban areas, and trafficked out of the country to neighboring Cameroon and Democratic Republic of Congo, despite the national protected species status of two of the three pangolin species found in the country. A study published in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society suggests that wildlife traffickers are now also taking advantage of remote ivory trade routes to smuggle pangolins out of Central Africa. The study additionally found that the high international price of pangolin scales was driving up local costs, resulting in pangolin poaching and trafficking becoming a lucrative activity in Africa's forests and cities. 2. WCS's Wild Seve program, which helps farmers living around India's Bandipur and Nagarahole National Parks recoup losses of crops or livestock from tigers, leopards, elephants, and other protected wildlife, has filed its 10,000th claim since the program launched in July, 2015. In doing so, Wild Seve has potentially saved wildlife from being slaughtered in retribution killings, while also protecting farmers from lethal encounters with wild animals. Wild Seve (wildseve.org) uses mobile technology linked to a portal and a field-based response team so that claims can be quickly processed. It currently services more than a half million people living in 600 settlements around wildlife-rich protected areas in India's Western Ghats region. Since the program launched, 5685 families have received $235,000 in payments from the Karnataka government facilitated by Wild Seve. The program has allowed WCS conservationists to identify places where crop damage is most likely to occur, and then subsequently develop mitigation measures including assistance in building livestock protection sheds to keep predators out. 3. Researchers from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa (UH Manoa), WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society), and other groups are discovering how forest conservation in Fiji can minimize the impact of human activities on coral reefs and their fish populations. Human activities on land often have cascading effects for marine ecosystems, and human-related impacts on Fiji are threatening more than 25 percent of the total global reef area. Expansion of commercial agriculture, logging, mining, and coastal development can harm coral reefs and their associated fisheries through increases in sediment and nutrient runoff. Consequent reef degradation directly affects food security, human wellbeing, and cultural practices in tropical island communities around the world. To determine where management and conservation efforts would be most impactful, the researchers built a fine-scale, linked land and sea model that integrates existing land-use with coral reef condition and fish biomass. The team then simulated various future land-use and climate change scenarios to pinpoint areas in key watersheds where conservation would provide the most benefit to downstream coral reef systems. In every simulated scenario, coral reef impacts were minimized when native forest was protected or restored. 4. Conservationists from WCS, Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) and the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI), were able to successfully re-introduce 24 zebras into Tanzania's Kitulo National Park in the Southern Highlands region - part of a bold effort to re-wild this once pristine landscape. Half a century ago zebras were hunted to extinction or otherwise removed from this region for state-run sheep ranching and dairy farming which have since been abandoned. The release is part of a long-term effort by WCS to re-wild key habitats in the Southern Highlands. WCS has already planted some 4 million indigenous trees so far to restore woodlands and restore corridors for duikers and the kipunji - a new species of monkey WCS discovered in the region in 2003. 5. After three male lions strayed from Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) WCS, together with Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and Uganda Carnivore program (UCP), were able to track the lions using VHF signals to trace their location and rescue them before they could cause harm to people and their livestock. Once the rescue team successfully re-tracked the big cats to their exact location, a team from UWA laid their trap, using the buffalo leg as bait and playing recorded sounds of prey animals such as buffaloes and warthogs from the sound recorder to attract the lions to the bait. The veterinarians darted the lions with an aesthetic drug to weaken them for their safe translocation to the park under the close watch of the vet doctors who kept monitoring their vitals throughout the journey to make sure they were breathing fine and well positioned. 6. The Nassau grouper-a fish known for its spectacular spawning aggregations in and around the Caribbean Sea-is now a "Critically Endangered" species, according to an assessment by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) that was supported by studies and data generated by WCS working in the coastal waters of Belize. The Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus) inhabits the waters of the Bahamas and the Caribbean, and averages about 20 pounds in weight. The Nassau grouper is now at risk of extinction as One of the biggest threats to the Nassau grouper is overfishing. The loss of pristine coral reefs-the grouper's primary habitat-is also a contributing factor to the downward population trend of Nassau groupers. 7. The Moskitia represents one of the last wild places in Central America and its second largest rainforest. To protect this critical area and its vast natural resources from threats that include wildlife trafficking, criminal archaeological looting, and deforestation for illegal livestock ranching, the WCS Americas Program has worked with Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC) and the Honduran government to protect the Moskitia from further degradation. According to recent research by WCS, over the past 15 years, the Moskitia has faced a number of threats that have resulted in the destruction of 30 percent of the region's forests. The primary threats have included illegal land-grabbing by cattle ranchers, wildlife trafficking, organized crime and looting of archeological artifacts. Ninety percent of the deforestation that has taken place in the rainforest is the result of illegal livestock. 8. A new study by WCS, El Colegio de Frontera Sur, Washington State University and other key regional partners has found that the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari), one of the last large herding mammals of the Americas, has been eliminated from 87 percent of its historical range in Mesoamerica. Thought to be the 'canary in the coal mine' for Mesoamericas forests due to their ecological sensitivity, their loss could indicate the beginning of the end for Central America's wilderness. Stable and large populations can now only be found in two of Mesoamerica's five largest and most intact wildernesses: the tri-national Maya Forest (Guatemala, Mxico and Belize), and El Darin in Panama. However, 20 of 29 assessed populations are either significantly smaller or highly threatened and are rapidly becoming isolated. The report demands urgent attention to avoid further national extinctions. 9. 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. We have field conservation operations in close to 60 nations and all the world's oceans and we have supported the creation or expansion of roughly 245 protected areas. We are working hand-in-hand with law enforcement around the world to end the trade. We are in 12 African countries that have elephants. We oversee ranger teams and manage national parks. We partner with communities and conduct pioneering research. Elephant herds are compassionate, giving, and capable of great feats-and when we work together, we too can do so much. 96 Elephants partners are uniting to help spread the word so that people everywhere stop buying ivory and end the senseless slaughter. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED 1. A baby mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) born at the Bronx Zoo and it's debut at Congo Gorilla Forest. The Bronx Zoo is one of only 26 zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums with mandrills and there are fewer than 100 individuals in the AZA population. This youngster is the first mandrill born at the Bronx Zoo since 2013. Mandrills are one of the largest monkey species and among the most colorful. The dominance status of males can be determined by the relative brightness of their coloration - dominant males are brightly colored while subordinate males are paler. Females are smaller and less colorful, and normally breed with the most dominant males. The species has a gestation period of 6 to 7 months. The baby is a female and was born to female, Sandy, and male, Nigel. Nigel came to the Bronx Zoo in 2016 to breed with the zoo's females as part of the AZA's Species Survival Plan, a cooperative breeding program to maintain genetic diversity in zoo populations. The species is classified as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and their numbers continue to decline due to human activities including hunting for bushmeat and habitat loss. They are native to the evergreen rainforests of central West Africa, occurring in parts of Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. 2. The New York Aquarium received five Endangered Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrhynchus oxyrhynchus) and has been designated a satellite research facility by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to educate aquarium visitors about the importance of protecting the historically important fish that were once plentiful in the Hudson River. The aquarium will give New Yorkers an opportunity to see these gigantic sturgeon nose-to-nose, highlighting how the species has played a central role in New York State history and how conservationists are working to prevent their extinction. Each sturgeon measures between five and six feet in length and weighs upwards of 120 pounds. They are now the latest denizens of Canyon's Edge in Ocean Wonders: Sharks!, a massive replication of the Hudson Canyon marine ecosystem located approximately 100 miles off the coast of New York City. The Canyon's Edge habitat is also home to sand tiger sharks, sandbar sharks, nurse sharks, and other marine species native to New York waters. There are 27 known species of sturgeon worldwide. Sturgeon, like salmon, are anadromous fishes: They are born in freshwater, move into saltwater to mature, and return to their natal rivers to spawn. Most species are valued for their meat and their eggs, and they are slow-growing and long-lived. Consequently, more than half are listed as "Critically Endangered" on the IUCN's Red List, and four species may in fact be extinct. 3. The Bronx Zoo's Hereptology department were very successful in reproducing four endangered Asian turtle species; five gold coin box turtles (Cuora trifasciata), two McCord's box turtles (C. mccordi), seven yellow-headed box turtles (C. aurocapitata) and four Roti Island snake-necked turtles (Chelodina mccordi). Staff have been focused on breeding these species for several years now and the efforts have paid off with hatching success of these eighteen offspring. The staff also had success in reproducing the Critically Endangered Roti Island snake-necked turtle (Chelodina mccordi) and have two clutches incubating. Ultimately these offspring will be returned to Indonesia as part of the reintroduction program for this species. 4. Equinor Wind US, the Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) launched a joint project to deploy two acoustic buoys designed to expand the detection and monitoring of whale species found in the waters of New York Bight. The buoys will provide near real-time monitoring of species such as the sei whale, fin whale, humpback whale, and the highly endangered North Atlantic right whale. The new devices will build on monitoring work in the New York Bight done by a previously deployed acoustic buoy funded by the G. Unger Vetlesen Foundation and the Flora Family Foundation. The new buoys will help marine conservation scientists increase their understanding of whale species that spend time in and migrate through the waters off the coasts of New York and New Jersey. The data will help inform ecologically sound decisions for potential development within Equinor's offshore wind lease site. The effort will also provide the general public with a fascinating window into the behaviors of acoustically sensitive marine mammals that live in the coastal areas. The near real-time data (transmitted by satellite to researchers' computers) will be publicly available on a dedicated web page and eventually put on display in the WCS New York Aquarium. 5. The Bronx Zoo continued it's work with the Chinese crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) having one of the pairs give birth to six live young. The Chinese crocodile lizard is listed by the IUCN as Endangered. Also the Forsten's tortoise (Indotestudo forstenii) had another hatchling emerge from its egg. The Forsten is, a medium sized tortoise species and Indonesian native found on the Islands of Sulawesi and Halmahera. Its conservation status is Endangered due to habitat destruction, hunting for food and to supply the wildlife trade. 6. The WCS New York Aquarium's breeding program for the African black-footed penguin (Spheniscus demersus) successfully added four more chicks to its colony. The four penguins are now on public view at the Aquarium's Sea Cliffs habitat. The aquarium's colony now numbers nearly 30 birds. Penguin chicks are hatched in off-exhibit nest boxes, and animal care staff monitor and care for the chicks until they are ready to join the colony. Black-footed penguins typically lay one to two eggs and incubate them for almost 40 days. The gray down of the newly hatched chicks gives way to waterproof juvenile plumage (blue-gray feathers on the back and head and white on the belly) after 60 days. The species is classified as Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The species faces numerous threats in the wild including human disturbance at nesting sites, oil exploration, and climate change. 7. The Bronx Zoo helped the New York Department of Environmental Conservation who after confiscating illegally held turtles from an individual in the state asked the zoo to care for these turtles while legal proceedings were underway. The confiscated turtles included 17 bog (Glyptemys muhlenbergii), two painted (Chrysemys picta), and 32 wood turtles (Glyptemys insculpta). During this same time, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service confiscated non-native turtle species and also asked the Bronx Zoo to care for these eight turtles of three species [Indian roofed turtle (Pangshura tecta), Indian black turtle (Melanachelys trijuga), and Asian black breasted leaf turtles (Geoemyda spengleri)]. 8. "THE ZOO" A REALITY SHOW THAT TAKES VIEWERS BEHIND THE EXHIBITS BY PROVIDING A LOOK AT WHAT IS NEEDED TO OPERATE A ZOO IN ADDITION TO ALL THE WORK BEING DONE IN THE CITY AND WORLDWIDE TO PROTECT AND SAVE ANIMAL SPECIES, continued with aN ALL NEW SEASON 3. THE SHOW FOCUSES ON THE STORIES OF DOZENS OF ANIMALS AND EXPERIENCES AT THE BRONX ZOO, AND ITS CRITICAL MISSION TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE AROUND THE GLOBE. IT ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO WORK AT THE ZOO, AND HOW THEIR EXPERTISE AND VARIED SKILLS COME TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY CARE FOR THE ANIMALS. JIM BREHENY, DIRECTOR OF THE BRONX ZOO AND EVP OF ZOOS AND AQUARIUM AT THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION SOCIETY SAID: "ANIMAL PLANET'S THE ZOO GIVES VIEWERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS EVERY DAY AT THE BRONX ZOO, PRESENTING AN UNCONTRIVED AND UNSCRIPTED LOOK AT HOW WE GO ABOUT CARING FOR THE ANIMALS AND LINKING OUR WORK AT THE ZOO TO PRESERVING SPECIES IN THE WILD." FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C - THIRD ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED 1. The Prospect Park Zoo joined a program to breed Pallas's cats (Otocolobus manul), which are classified as "Near Threatened" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The zoo will breed the cats as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP), a cooperative breeding program between AZA-accredited zoos, to help maintain genetically viable, sustainable zoo populations. Currently, there are 42 Pallas's cats in 18 accredited AZA zoos that participate in the SSP. Pallas's cats, native to the Central Asian steppes of Mongolia, China, and other central Asian countries and are at risk because they are hunted for their fur and organs, which are used in traditional medicines. And like many small animals, they are accidentally caught in traps set for larger predators like wolves. The new exhibit will give visitors an opportunity to view a male, Batu, from Krakow Zoo and a female, Sarnai, from Helsinki Zoo. Both cats are new to the Prospect Park Zoo. The exhibit features a rocky terrain that provides several hiding places, much like their native habitat. The outdoor space will let the cold-weather cats experience a climate similar to what they would in the wild. 2. Two Andean bear cubs (Tremarctos ornatus) born at the Queens Zoo made their New York City debut. After spending several weeks in their den bonding with their mother, they began to venture into the zoo's outdoor habitat. Queens Zoo animal care staff have named the cubs Brienne and Benny, and are closely monitoring their health and development. Andean bears are the only bear species native to South America. Andean bears are classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Estimates indicate that there are fewer than 18,000 remaining in the wild. 3. The Central Park Zoo saw the addition of seventeen tentacled snakes (Erpeton tentaculatum). These unique snakes, native to Southeast Asia, live their entire lives in murky waters of lakes and streams feeding exclusively on fish. They largely remain motionless in the water to ambush their prey. They are venomous but are not considered dangerous because their fangs are small, located in the back of the mouth and their venom is specific to the fish they eat. Tentacled snakes are ovoviviparous and the young are born live underwater. 4. The Queens Zoo saw the addition of two new male sea lions (Zalophus californianus) to the sea lion pool to join the current pair of young males in the exhibit. A pair of king vultures (Sarcoramphus papa) were added to their thick billed parrot exhibit. hatched approximately three dozen wood duck (Aix sponsa), hooded merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus) and Barrow's goldeneye (Bucephala islandica) in our incubators. Our sun conure (Aratinga solstitialis) flock has successfully raised four chicks this year, and our burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia) also successfully nested and reared three chicks in their exhibit. We also hatched one trumpeter swan cygnet (Cygnus buccinnator) that was sent to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for eventual release into the wild. 5. The Central Park Zoo had a Superb bird-of-paradise (Lophorina superba) chick hatch. this chick, along with the three others from 2018, was hand raised and will be a significant contribution to the small breeding population managed in only five AZA zoos. Each successful hatching is critical to sustain and grow the population. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D - OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT Wildlife Conservation Society awarded 13 new grants to nonprofit organizations implementing on-the-ground, science-driven projects that will help wildlife and ecosystems adapt to climate change. These grants are made through the award-winning Climate Adaptation Fund, part of WCS's Conservation Solutions division, which provides a total of $2.5 million in grant awards between $50,000 and $250,000 to conservation non-profit organizations annually. The Fund's work contributes to WCS's mission to protect wild places across our globe and connect communities to nature. With funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF). the WCS Climate Adaptation Fund has awarded almost $17 million to 91 conservation projects since its inception. This year's grant selection process widened the applicant pool and for the first time, invited projects using joint mitigation and adaptation (JMA) strategies to apply.
