Mission Statement

WCS Canada's mission is to save wildlife and wildlands by improving our understanding of and seeking solutions to critical problems that threaten key species and large wild ecosystems throughout Canada.

About This Cause

Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Canada saves wildlife and wild places through science, conservation action, education, and by inspiring people to value nature. We envision a world where wildlife thrives in healthy lands and waters, valued by all cultures that embrace and benefit from the beauty, diversity, and integrity of life on Earth. WCS Canada plays a unique role in conservation in Canada as one of the only organizations that can provide detailed answers about the causes and impacts of biodiversity loss that are critical for developing successful conservation solutions. We work at the nexus of biodiversity, climate change, and wildlife health in priority landscapes and seascapes where there is high potential for durable conservation gains. Rooted in science, our efforts include a unique blend of on-the-ground field research and programs that work with Indigenous and local communities to protect priority places and species that operate alongside a national program that influences conservation policy and practice across Canada. WCS Canada is one of Canada’s most trusted organizations informing laws and policies. From global agreements to key local land use decisions, WCS Canada provides scientific advice to decision-makers and advocates for stronger conservation outcomes. Our expertise has influenced national policies and environmental impact assessments and we continue to be a strong voice for nature. This is our decision decade. Decisions about conservation today will have profound and lasting impacts on Canada and the planet. Our vision of halting and reversing the loss of nature is not just about benefiting wildlife and wild places. It is renewing our collective relationships with the natural world and deepening our personal connection to the nature around us. It is uniting ecology and economics to choose new paths and policies of sustainability that value, protect and restore the diversity and abundance of life. And it is a cultural coming of age where we come to the realization that without nature, there is nothing else. By creating a better world for wildlife, we create a better world for everyone. WCS Canada is an independently registered and managed program of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), headquartered at the Bronx Zoo, New York, which operates conservation programs in over 60 countries around the world. WCS is a recognized global leader in wildlife conservation, dedicated to saving wildlife and wildlands in order to assure a future for threatened species such as elephants, tigers, gorillas, jaguars and sharks.
