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. In FY 2016, the wcs 96 elephant campaign had 207 partners across 45 states, 96 elephants has helped in banning ivory sales in Washington and Hawaii as well as supporting a federal ban and a proposed ban in Massachusetts State. 2. WCS worked with local authorities and a logging company in dismantling abandoned logging roads that were being used by poachers to access prime Amur (Siberian) tiger habitat in the Russian Far East. The roads were made impassable through a combination of bridge removals, trenches, and bulldozing bottlenecks such as where a road runs between a river and cliff. Tigers often use such roads as travel corridors and therefore are easy victims to poachers who drive the same roads in vehicles armed with spotlights and high-powered rifles. 3. A team of conservationists from WCS, the Government of Mozambiques National Administration for Conservation Areas (ANAC) and other partners, completed a five-day effort to fit tracking collars on 20 elephants in the Niassa Reserve, the most important protected area in the country. A total of 17 females and 3 males were collared. The focus was on females in order to track the movements of family groups. The elephants are now being tracked by conservationists in an effort to protect wildlife from poaching. Elephant collaring is a very useful tool in establishing and managing Intensive Protection Zones special areas being established to conserve key elephant sub-populations that represent a critical reproductive nucleus for the survival and recovery of the Reserves elephants. 4. WCS scientists, with the support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have embarked on an ambitious plane-based survey to gauge the influence of humans and their livestock on the largest remaining forests in Central America. Dubbed the Central American Megaflyover, the project is gathering detailed images of the largest five remaining forest blocks in Mesoamerica in flights across six countries (Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama). The findings will inform, guide, and inspire conservation action on the ground to protect these natural treasures. 5. WCS and the Royal Government of Cambodias Fisheries Administration were able to release 21 captive-raised southern river terrapins back into their native habitat in southwest Cambodia. In 2001, WCS in partnership with the Fisheries Administration instated a community-based protection system in Sre Ambel, hiring former nest collectors to search for and protect nests, instead of harvesting the eggs. Since then, 39 nests with a total of 564 eggs have been protected and have resulted in 382 hatchlings. 6. Scientists from WCSs Cambodia program have issued a report showing a dramatic comeback of wildlife, including waterbirds, monkeys and otters, in Prek Toal a globally important wetland. WCS has provided financial and technical support to the Ministry of Environment to manage Prek Toal for more than a decade. Wildlife surveys have shown that species like lesser and greater adjutant storks, spot-billed pelicans, and Asian openbills have increased along with silver langur and two otter species. Prek Toal is considered to be the premier wetland site on Tonle Sap Great Lake, and was designated a RAMSAR site an international treaty on the protection of globally important wetlands. 7. WCS staff along with the Turtle Survival Alliance assisted in identifying two suspects who were arrested in Thailand in connection with the sale of critically endangered Burmese star tortoises on Facebook. Seven tortoises were confiscated from the home of one of the suspects. upon his arrest in Khon Khaen Province, in northeast Thailand, Three of the confiscated tortoises were determined to be among others stolen in October from a wildlife sanctuary in central Myanmar, where our WCS team and the Turtle Survival Alliance have been working with the Myanmar Forest Department to reintroduce the species back into the wild. 8. The Indonesian authorities and WCSs Wildlife Crimes Unit (WCU) were able to announce the arrest of a major tiger skin trader and an intermediary in Jakarta on December 11. The WCU identified the trader through online research as selling wallets made from tiger skins. Along with 13 of the wallets in the traders possession, were a large number of protected wildlife items including four complete tiger skins, tiger feet, tails, and bones. Sumatran tiger poaching and trading is prohibited under Indonesian law. 9. WCSs groundbreaking Bolivian scientific expedition, Identidad Madidi, confirmed the 1,000th bird species in Madidi National Park, one of the worlds most biodiverse protected areas and a mecca of bird life. The 1,000th bird recorded the dusky tailed flatbill (Ramphotrigon fuscicauda) was a surprise to the team; its song was detected by an ornithologist while analyzing audio recordings in his office in Cochabamba. The bird was recorded at the sixth site of our two-year expedition into the park. In addition to the new bird species, there were three frogs, one lizard and three catfish species new to science, with ten plant species under investigation. 10. A study of complex coral reef ecosystems in the western Indian Ocean found that one species of fish, the orange lined triggerfish may play a significant role in maintaining a reefs ability to thrive and grow. WCS discovered that the triggerfish (Balistapus undulatus) a small but brilliantly colored predatory fish was consistently found among corals and algae that build reef systems. Ongoing surveys will track recovery and identify how conservation can help corals cope with a changing climate. 11. WCS organized the Amazon Waters International (AWI) Conference in Lima. More than a dozen institutions signed an unprecedented commitment to promote the integrity of the Amazon Basin. The basin is home to the largest continuous rainforest and most extensive freshwater ecosystem in the world. The commitment includes working toward international agreements in which the interests of each country are respected and the integrity of the environmental system is protected. The declaration emphasized that the Amazon Basin contributes significantly to the biodiversity, climate regulation, and water balance of the planet. 12. A grant program managed by the Wildlife Conservation Society is exploring new methods for helping wildlife in the United States to adapt to rapidly shifting environmental conditions brought about by climate change. WCS is calling for project proposals for grants provided through the Climate Adaptation Fund, a program started in 2011. This years round of grant making will extend the range of potential grants to include applications for wildlife and ecosystem adaptation projects located in and around urban centers. The Climate Adaptation Fund fills a specific niche in the realm of conservation support structures by earmarking resources specifically for projects that develop and implement land and water management designed to enable wildlife and ecosystems to adapt to climate change. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED 1. Two rare Malayan tiger cubs born at the Bronx Zoo made their public debut at Tiger Mountain. Because the cubs mother was not providing suitable maternal care in the days following their birth, animal department staff hand-raised the cubs until they were weaned. Initially, the cubs required 24-hour care and were bottle-fed a milk formula every three hours. Once fully weaned they were introduced to sights, sounds, and smells of adult tigers and allowed to properly acclimate to the off-exhibit holding areas at Tiger Mountain. They are now on exhibit for our guests and exploring the expansive outdoor exhibit space. With an estimated 250 Malayan tigers remaining in the wild and fewer than 70 in accredited North American zoos, these cubs give us an excellent opportunity to introduce our visitors to the threats Malayan tigers face in the wild and what the Bronx Zoo and WCS are doing to help save tigers where they live. 2. A baby North American porcupine was born at WCSs Bronx Zoo and is on exhibit with its family in the newly renovated Childrens Zoo. The young male porcupine was born to mother, Alice, and father, Patrick. This is the pairs third offspring. 3. A black-footed penguin chick (Spheniscus demersus) hatched at the New York Aquarium. The New York Aquariums black-footed penguin exhibit is home to 22 birds including the chick. Native to southern Africa, they are a signature species for the aquarium and live in their outdoor exhibit all year, thriving in all temperatures. 4. An Asian small-clawed otter pup (Aonyx cinereus) made its public debut in JungleWorld exhibit at the Bronx Zoo, and a colony of Rodrigues fruit bats (Pteropus rodricensis) now share an exhibit with the Matschies tree kangaroos. 5. The colony of little penguins (Eudyptula minor) that debuted in 2015 as a new species at our Bronx Zoo has successfully produced a chick that is now on exhibit with the rest of the colony. This is the first time this species has bred at the Bronx Zoo. 6. The Madagascar! exhibit at the Bronx Zoo has welcomed three new lemur babies. Two ring tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) and one brown collared lemur (Eulemur collaris). Both species live in a naturalistic habitat depicting the Malagasy Spiny Forest along with critically endangered radiated tortoises and several bird species including vasa parrots, red fodies, grey-headed lovebirds, and ground doves. 7. The Bronx Zoo is home to a white-naped crane chick (Grus vipio) that hatched this spring on the Northern Ponds adjacent to the Himalayan Highlands exhibit. The chick can be seen with its parents. WCS breeds white-naped cranes and other species as part of the Species Survival Plan, a cooperative breeding program designed to enhance the genetic viability of animal populations in zoos and aquariums accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. 8. Scientists working for the WCS New York Aquarium's New York Seascape program, in partnership with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), successfully deployed a hi-tech acoustic monitoring buoy in New York waters that will enable them to listen for whale sounds. The buoy is located between two major shipping lanes entering New York Harbor, 22 miles south of Fire Island's west end. The technology will allow the scientists to better study and protect these ocean giants that can be found in the busy waters of NYC. 9. Scientists and veterinarians working for WCSs New York Aquarium have discovered in the near shore waters of Long Islands Great South Bay a nursery ground for the sand tiger shark, a fearsome-looking but non-aggressive fish. The discovery was made by researchers who have collected a wealth of information on sharks in local waters over the past four years through the use of acoustic tags, devices that enable scientists to remotely track marine animals as they swim through their environment. These data have helped the scientists confirm the existence of the nursery in Great South Bay, one of the rich estuaries found along Long Islands southern shore. Only a handful of sand tiger shark nursery grounds have been identified, one of which is in the waters of Massachusetts. Data gathered from the sharks movements are helping scientists learn more about the migratory behavior of sand tiger sharks and their habitat needs. 10. Two Bronx Zoo herpetologists rescued an Indian cobra (Naja naja) which was a stow away on a container ship destined for the APM Terminals at the Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal in New Jersey. The Bronx Zoo is occasionally called upon by local and federal agencies to assist in situations with exotic wildlife due to the expertise of its staff. 11. WCSs Bronx Zoo and Fordham University announced the results of the first known published study of bats in New York City. The study identified species and activity levels by acoustically monitoring bat echolocations calls at four sites in the Bronx, including the Bronx Zoo. Bat activity was recorded passively using acoustic-recording devices placed on the rooftops of buildings, and actively by conducting surveys using a handheld ultrasonic recording unit. The recorders record the calls that the bats produce in flight in order to navigate and locate their prey. The recorded calls are then processed through a software program that identifies the calls by species. Along with identifying five species of bats taking up residence in the Bronx (Big Brown Bats, Silver-haired Bats, Tri-colored Bats, Eastern Red Bats, and Hoary Bats), the study provided evidence of winter bat activity in NYC and documents the migratory movement of Eastern Red Bats and Silver-haired Bats through the Bronx Borough. Since little is known about bat behavior in winter, the research results may prove valuable in determining bat migration routes and overwintering strategies. The study has been expanded to include acoustic bat surveying at three other WCS parks Central Park Zoo, Queens Zoo and Prospect Park Zoo. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C - THIRD ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUED 1. A miniature zebu calf (Bos Taurus indicus) was born at the Prospect Park Zoo. The zebu is one of the oldest breeds of cattle, believed to have originated in southern India around 6,000 years ago. Although a diminutive breed, adult mini zebus can weigh up to 500 pounds and measure three to four feet in length. Unlike larger breeds of cattle, mini zebus are slow to mature, reaching maturity in two to three years. 2. A Roosevelt elk calf (Cervus canadensis roosevelti) born at Queens Zoo joined the rest of the herd in the zoos woodland habitat. The calf brings the total number of elk in the herd to six. Roosevelt elk weigh approximately 25 pounds at birth. Adult bulls can weigh up to 1,100 pounds and females up to 700 pounds making them the largest of all elk subspecies. Ranging from Northern California to southern British Columbia, Roosevelt elk are one of the largest terrestrial animals in North America. They have distinct coats with a dark brown head and pale brown torso. 3. Three Juliana pigs (Sus domesticus) debuted at the Prospect Park Zoo. The young trio, two males and one female, are siblings. Their arrival is a first for the Prospect Park Zoo which has not previously exhibited pigs. Juliana pigs are surprising in stature. They are the smallest breed of miniature pig, weighing less than 65 pounds as adults a fraction of what a standard-sized breed would weigh. With their colorful spots, Juliana pigs are also known as miniature painted pigs. Juliana pigs are known for their wonderful temperaments, curiosity and intelligence. At Prospect Park Zoo, the new pigs are on exhibit alongside goats, sheep, chickens, and other domestic animals in the barn area. 4. Three burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia) made their debut at the Queens Zoo. The trio of owls are all females. They share their exhibit with thick-billed parrots and roadrunners. Unlike most owls, burrowing owls are awake and active during the day. 5. Two red panda cubs (Ailurus fulgens styani), one male and one female, were born at the Prospect Park Zoo. The red pandas at the Prospect Park Zoo are a subspecies from the eastern portion of the Himalayas. The subspecies of red panda at the Bronx Zoo and Central Park Zoo (Ailurus fulgens fulgens) is found in the western part of their Himalayan range. Red pandas are listed as Vulnerable by the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to habitat loss caused by deforestation for timber, fuel and agricultural use. Their population is declining. WCS works in China and Myanmar to save red pandas and other Asian wildlife. 6. The Queens Zoo is now home to a new female Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus), the only bear species endemic to South America. The new bear, Nicole, is almost three years old. She shares a habitat with Bouba, a male Andean bear that arrived at the zoo from France in 2013. The Queens Zoo brought these two bears together as part of the Species Survival Plan (SSP), a cooperative breeding program designed to enhance the genetic viability and demographic stability of animal populations in zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). 7. A Hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) was born at Prospect Park Zoo and made his public debut. Kaia, a 12-year-old female, gave birth to the male infant on October 22. Bole, a 23-year-old male, is the father. This is Kaias second birth at the zoo. The Prospect Park Zoo breeds Hamadryas baboons as part of the Species Survival Plan (SSP), a cooperative breeding program administered by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) designed to enhance the genetic viability and demographic stability of animal populations in accredited zoos. The two baboons born at the zoo last year have been sent to another AZA-accredited zoo as recommended by the SSP where they will eventually start their own breeding troop. Hamadryas baboons are native to northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. 8. Two fennec foxes (Vulpes zerda) have made their public debut at the Prospect Park Zoo. The two young male foxes came from the Bronx Zoo and are the first fennecs to be exhibited at the Prospect Park Zoo. Like many other fox species, fennec foxes are nocturnal. They are the worlds smallest species of fox, with adults typically weighing less than four pounds and having a body length that ranges from 9 to 16 inches. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D - OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT 1. WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) and the World Customs Organization (WCO) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at reducing the amount of illegal wildlife products moving across international borders. With the signing of this MoU, WCS and WCO agree to exchange information, collaborate on policy decisions, and cooperate in multiple ways in efforts to stop illegal wildlife trade. WCS and WCO affirmed that the issue should be addressed through commensurate and coordinated national, regional and international measures. 2. WCS and Harvard University, with support from The Rockefeller Foundation, launched the Planetary Health Alliance, an expansion of the HEAL (Health & Ecosystems: Analysis of Linkages) initiative developed by WCS in 2009 to improve our understanding of the linkages between environmental change and human health across the globe. By understanding those linkages and the health benefits that natural systems are providing to humanity, conservation and public health policy can be better informed. The Alliance will be grown into a consortium of universities, non-governmental organizations, governmental entities, and other partners, working together to build a community of stakeholders to foster applied research, training, and policy action. 3. WCS achieved a great victory in leading the Vote Bison Coalition in the effort to pass the National Bison Legacy Act, officially making bison the National Mammal of the U.S. Thanks in large part to the combined work of several WCS departments, both houses of Congress passed the bill in April after which President Obama signed it. The official designation is a recognition and validation of 100 years of legacy-building work to bring this iconic American animal back from the brink of extinction.
