One World, One HealthTM
A WCS Health Programs Report 2016
WCS saves wildlife and wild places worldwide through science, conservation action, education, and inspiring people to value nature. WCS envisions a world where wildlife thrives in healthy lands and seas, valued by societies that embrace and benefit from the diversity and integrity of life on earth. WCS was the first conservation organization with a dedicated team of wildlife veterinarians and other health professionals deployed around the world. Our Health Programs Progress Report provides updates and insights on core health contributions to conservation. Together, we are securing a future for wildlife and wild places.
