Our Mission

The Americas is a realm of some of the last, great wild places – from the Rockies to Patagonia, the Arctic waterways to the Mesoamerican Reef, the Yukon to the Amazon Forest. Home to incredible animals, the Americas include 7 of the 10 most biodiverse countries in the world.

Yet at the same time, it is the most urbanized continent on earth. More than 80% of Americans live in cities, which is expected to increase to 90% by 2050. In this urban landscape, many city dwellers are increasingly disconnected from nature.

Wild Americas mission is to influence this rapidly changing world for the better. The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) will bring together and protect the two aspects truly unique to the Americas – the hyper urban and super wild.

We seek members who are adventurers of instinct. Those who want to reconnect with nature and share their forays into the great outdoors. Those willing to inspire others to protect the wild and the animals that call it home.

So Join US, the Wildlife Conservation Society, to protect YOUR wild.
