OUR FOCUS IS ON ENDANGERED SPECIES THAT ARE DOWN TO VERY FEW POPULATIONS (SOMETIMES EVEN ONLY A SINGLE POPULATION) AND HAVE AN INHERENTLY HIGH RISK OF EXTINCTION. WHEN RESEARCH INDICATES LIKELY DRASTIC DECLINES OF MORE WIDESPREAD SPECIES, WE ALSO PRIORITIZE CONSERVATION ACTIONS TO STABILIZE POPULATIONS. IN 2017, GWC SUPPORTED THE OPENING OF AUSSIE ARK IN AUSTRALIA, A NEW ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEGUN WITH A SEMI-WILD SANCTUARY THAT WILL SAFEGUARD SOME OF AUSTRALIA'S MOST IMPERILED MAMMALS, INCLUDING THE TASMANIAN DEVIL, AND THAT AIMS TO ULTIMATELY RETURN THE ANIMALS TO THE WILD. IN NEW ZEALAND, WE SUPPORTED THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BREEDING AVIARY FOR THE WORLD'S RAREST WADING BIRD, THE BLACK STILT - OR KAKI. THE WILD POPULATION OF KAKI IS AT A MERE 106 WILD ADULT BIRDS, BUT THE AVIARY WILL ADD UP TO 175 EXTRA BIRDS RELEASED INTO THE WILD EACH YEAR. AND SAOLO, A WILD CATTLE SPECIES SO RARE NO BIOLOGIST HAS EVER SEEN IT IN THE WILD. 622253 488593 WILDLANDS: THE SINGLE BIGGEST THREATS TO THE SURVIVAL OF SPECIES WORLDWIDE IS THE LOSS AND DEGRADATION OF HABITAT. GWC PRIORITIZES SPECIES AND SITES MOST AT RISK AND WORKS WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO PROTECT AND MANAGE THESE CRITICAL HABITATS. IN 2017, GWC CELEBRATED THE JAMAICAN GOVERNMENT'S DECISION TO ESTABLISH THE GOAT ISLANDS AS A WILDLIFE SANCTUARY WITHIN THE PORTLAND BIGHT PROTECTED AREA, INSTEAD OF OPENING THESE ISLANDS TO DEVELOPMENT FOR A TRANS-SHIPMENT PORT. GWC HELPED PARTNERS TO BRING IN 488004 282239 GUARDIANS: AT GWC, WE USE CAPACITY BUILDING EFFORTS AND EDUCATION TO FURTHER DEVELOP LEADERSHIP OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING RANGERS AT THE FRONTLINES OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION. OUR ASSOCIATES PROGRAM PROVIDES RESEARCHERS, CONSERVATIONISTS, AND ACADEMICS FROM AROUND THE WORLD AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AND USE GWC'S INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY TO BUILD CONNECTIONS, ACCESS RESOURCES, AND BOLSTER CONSERVATION ACTIONS.

Other PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4D, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS - GWC ACTIVELY SUPPORTS A NUMBER OF OTHER SCIENCE-BASED, CONSERVATION EFFORTS AROUND THE WORLD. WE PARTICIPATE IN GLOBAL FORUMS TO ADVANCES IMPORTANT AND EMERGING INITIATIVES. WE EXPLORE WILDERNESS AREAS TO IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF BIODIVERSITY PATTERNS AROUND THE GLOBE AND IN SEARCH OF UNDISCOVERED AND LOST SPECIES. WE CONFIRM AREAS OF HIGH SPECIES DIVERSITY AND ENDEMISM, DETERMINE THE THREATS TO AN AREA'S WILDLIFE, AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO ALLEVIATE THESE THREATS. WE HELP IDENTIFY AND MAP VITAL HABITATS FOR THREATENED SPECIES, CALLED KEY BIODIVERSITY AREAS, AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO BEST PROTECT THESE PLACES TO LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS. AND WE HELP CONDUCT ASSESSMENTS TO HELP THE IUCN RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES MAINTAIN THE MOST UP-TO-DATE DATA FOR WILDLIFE SPECIES, INCLUDING AMPHIBIANS, SMALL CATS, PRIMATES AND OTHERS. IN 2017, GWC LAUNCHED THE SEARCH FOR LOST SPECIES, WHICH IS THE LARGEST-EVER QUEST TO FIND AND PROTECT SPECIES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST TO SCIENCE FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. THE CAMPAIGN GOT OFF TO A TREMENDOUS START WHEN A PARK GUARD AT THE GWC-FUNDED YAL UNIN YUL WITZ AMPHIBIAN RESERVE IN GUATEMALA FOUND THE JACKSON'S SALAMANDER, LOST SINCE 1975 AND AMONG THE INITIATIVE'S TOP 25 "MOST WANTED" LOST SPECIES. THE REDISCOVERY HAS PROMPTED THE EXPANSION OF THE RESERVE. WE ALSO ANNOUNCED THE DISCOVERY OF THE FIRST NEW SPECIES OF GREAT APE DESCRIBED IN NEARLY 90 YEARS, THE TAPANULI ORANGUTAN, WHICH IS NOW ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST ENDANGERED GREAT APE SPECIES. AND WE RELEASED THE NEWS OF THE DISCOVERY OF A COBALT BLUE TARANTULA SPECIES IN ADDITION TO 30 OTHER SPECIES IN GUYANA AS A PART OF A BIODIVERSITY TEAM SURVEY IN WHICH GWC TOOK PART.
