The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is a US non-profit, private organization established in 1895 in New York City. WCS saves wildlife and wild places worldwide through science, conservation action, education, and inspiring people to value nature. To achieve our mission, WCS, based at the Bronx Zoo, harnesses the power of its Global Conservation Program in more than 55 countries and in all the world’s oceans, and its five wildlife parks in New York City, visited by more than 3.5 million people annually. WCS combines its expertise in the field, zoos, and aquarium, to achieve its conservation mission.

For nearly two decades, WCS Viet Nam has worked alongside government partners and related stakeholders to combat wildlife trafficking, strengthen enforcement and legal systems, advance wildlife health, and protect endangered species. Its work combines science, policy, capacity building, and international collaboration to achieve lasting conservation impact.
