10 | WCS ANNUAL REPORT 2015 WCS LEADERSHIP | 11 Launching a Conservation Strategy Supported by a New Website and Brand Identity

In 2015, we unveiled our WCS: 2020 strategic plan, which is designed to conserve ecologically intact wild places in 15 priority terrestrial and marine regions and reverse the decline of six priority species groups across their range. We will also maintain viable populations of critically endangered species in our five New York City wildlife parks.

WCS President and CEO Cristián Samper said, “The urgency to preserve the world’s wildlife and the intricate balance of species and the systems that all lives depend on demands that we go beyond conservation as usual. WCS: 2020 addresses that urgency.

“To achieve our ambitious goal, we must work in collaboration to address the enormous threats facing wildlife and all of nature. We commit ourselves to stay focused on our mission to save wildlife while realizing our work cannot be implemented in a vacuum and without partners.”

WCS: 2020, available at wcs.org, has three core strategies: to Discover, to Protect, and to Inspire.

DISCOVER: Through Science, WCS will produce and disseminate the information and knowledge necessary to inform and improve conservation and management action in the wild places we seek to conserve and to measure the impact of our work.

PROTECT: Through Conservation Action, WCS will conserve 15 intact wild places on land and in the sea. WCS will reverse the decline of six priority species groups: elephants, apes, big cats, sharks & rays, whales & dolphins, and tortoises & freshwater turtles. WCS will conserve threatened species at our NYC parks, including the Bronx Zoo and New York Aquarium.

INSPIRE: Through Engagement and Education, WCS will activate a diverse and empowered global audience invested in protecting wild nature through engaging zoo and aquarium experiences, stimulating education programs, and powerful digital and media tools.

We also launched our new brand identity, including a logo and the tagline: We Stand for WildlifeSM . The logo, a W with blue and green colors predominant in nature, symbolizes our mission to save wildlife and wild places globally. The mark can project a wide range of expressions from serious to lively, contain colors and images, and appeal to everyone from park visitors to policy makers.

—LADY BIRD JOHNSON, FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES The WCS Story A Spirit of Hope for Wildlife — Wildlife was given a fighting chance in 2015. Yes, wildlife across the globe faces threats from all angles, including climate change; over-hunting and over-fishing; the illegal wildlife trade; and habitat destruction and degradation. But during this past year, we found a spirit of hope for wildlife across many places where twe work.

Countries large and small took big steps on behalf of biodiversity. Local communities and businesses are finding solutions that promote sustainable development and wildlife conservation. From the Paris Climate Summit and the United Nations� embrace of critical new Sustainable Development Goals to President Obama’s ban on ocean- polluting microbeads and the growing embrace by zoos and aquariums of conservation goals and commitments, 2015 provided a spirit of optimism for the future of wildlife. WCS’s work over the past year to take concrete action on those priorities is documented in the following pages.

In an effort to clarify our own role in furthering the protection of wildlife and wild places, WCS publicly launched a new WCS: 2020 strategy. Identifying 15 priority regions and six priority species groups, we have dedicated ourselves unreservedly to the protection

16 | WCS ANNUAL REPORT 2015 2015 WCS STORY | 17 DISCOVER WCS Re-Discovers “Extinct” Bird in Myanmar

A WCS-led scientific team in Myanmar re-discovered the Jerdon’s babbler, a bird last seen in 1941. The small brown bird had been common in the vast natural grasslands that once covered the Ayeyarwady and Sittaung floodplains around Yangon at the turn of the 20th century. Most of these grasslands have since disappeared as the area has been developed.

Myanmar has more bird species than any other country in mainland Southeast Asia. The babbler was heard as the team surveyed a grassland habitat near an abandoned agricultural station. After identifying the call, the scientists played back a recording to attract more birds. Over the next 48 hours, the team found babblers at other locations, and obtained blood samples and photographs.

18 | WCS ANNUAL REPORT 2015 2015 WCS STORY | 19 DISCOVER An Unexpected Shark Nursery Close to New York City

Scientists and veterinarians working for WCS’s New York Aquarium have discovered a nursery ground for the sand tiger shark, a fierce-looking but non-aggressive fish, in the waters of Long Island’s Great South Bay. The researchers made the discovery using acoustic tags, devices that enable scientists to track marine animals in real time as they travel through their environment.

Only a handful of sand-tiger-shark nursery grounds have been previously identified off the U.S. Atlantic Coast. The discovery is exciting news for local conservationists seeking to learn more about sharks and other species in the New York seascape. Through field and outreach efforts, the New York Aquarium is raising awareness about our local marine environment and the need to protect it.

In 2012, hunters found a starving four-month-old Amur (or Siberian) tiger in Primorskii Krai, one of the last strongholds for Amur tigers in the world. While recovering at a rehabilitation site, the tiger—named Zolushka (Russian for Cinderella)— learned hunting skills essential to survival in the wild. With the help of scientists from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zolushka was released into the Bastak Reserve, once an active tiger habitat but devoid of these mighty predators for 40 years. She soon attracted a mate and in the fall of 2015 she was spied with two cubs, providing hope that Amur tigers might rebound in this vast, frozen landscape.

Twenty-five years ago, Guatemala established the Maya Biosphere Reserve. The size of New Jersey, this remarkable protected area has contributed greatly to the ecological stability of Central America. Since 1992, WCS has played a critical role in the reserve’s protection. Today 69 percent remains well conserved. Intact national parks teem with jaguars, white-lipped peccaries, and scarlet macaws, and the reserve provides wintering habitat for millions of birds. Local communities are actively engaged in sustainable forest use, while visiting tourism generates valuable foreign exchange. With continued political and financial support from partners and donors both within and outside of government, this incredible landscape can continue to serve as core habitat for wildlife, a basis for sustainable rural livelihoods, and a model of environmental governance benefiting local people.

Tacana People Win Equator Prize

In December, Bolivia’s Tacana indigenous council was awarded the prestigious Equator Prize for its efforts to reduce deforestation. Over the past 14 years, the group has developed a community- based land-use vision for its ancestral territory in the Madidi landscape. WCS has worked with the Tacana since 2001, supporting their efforts to secure collective legal tenure over 389,000 hectares and implement a land-use and natural-resource management strategy among the 20 communities living within it. The strategy—which prioritizes sustainable livelihoods, biodiversity conservation, and forest protection—has resulted in four times less deforestation than in surrounding areas.

In late May, Ornithology Department staff at the Bronx Zoo observed an abandoned egg left by a pair of adult lesser-adjutant storks that were inexperienced parents. The egg was moved to a nest belonging to a pair of storks that had previously raised chicks. The female accepted the egg, which hatched a month later. The pair’s own egg hatched on August 5 and both chicks are now thriving. WCS’s Bronx Zoo is one of only three zoos in North America to work with lesser adjutants. WCS has worked to protect the storks in Nepal and has an active conservation program in Cambodia, where these birds occupy mangroves, coastal swamps, flooded grasslands, and other wet areas.

Inspiring a New Generation of Conservationists in Cuba

Among Caribbean nations, Cuba has the broadest array of wildlife habitats and the most endemic species. Long before U.S. diplomatic relations with Cuba normalized, conservationists worked under a scientific exchange license with their Cuban counterparts to preserve biodiversity. WCS�s efforts, which began with the research of late crocodile expert John Thorbjarnarson, have resulted in critical conservation work generated and led by Cubans. In recent years, John�s protégé at WCS, Natalia Rossi (pictured), has been mentored by Dr. George Amato of the American Museum of Natural History, crocodile expert Dr. Manuel Alonso Tabet, and Professor Dr. Georgina Espinosa Lopez from University of Havana.

These results added $61.9 million to net assets totaling $810 million. The increase was driven by endowment additions, support from the City of New York for the New York Aquarium Ocean Wonders expansion, and higher grants and pledges receivable from private, governmental agencies, foreign aid, and other sources. WCS total assets exceeded $1 billion in FY 2015, up from $971 million on June 30, 2014.

WCS’s general operating revenues totaled $246.6 million and expenses $248.1 million. After setting aside $2.4 million from operations for plant renewal, WCS’s general operating bottom line was a $3.9 million deficit which was anticipated and planned for given that the New York Aquarium’s operation will continue to be limited until the storm damage it sustained in Hurricane Sandy can be fully restored. That effort, combined with the Aquarium’s Ocean Wonders expansion, will be a challenge, but we are making progress towards our goal of reopening a transformed Aquarium that will provide new and exciting opportunities to connect visitors with WCS’s marine conservation work in New York and around the globe.

Conservation Partners — With leadership and results dating back to 1895, WCS has evolved into the world’s most comprehensive wildlife conservation organization. The additive strength derived from our parks, our field conservation work, and our global health network is unparalleled. Yet we could never do this work and achieve these results without the collaboration and support of hundreds of partners. With offices across the globe, WCS is well positioned to engage with representatives of government and civil society whose goals align with our science-based conservation mission.
