WCS-Congo > About WCS-Congo

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has been dedicated to conserving the earth’s biodiversity since its establishment in 1898 as the New York Zoological Society. Our mission is to save wildlife and wild lands. We achieve our mission through science-based international wildlife conservation programs, working to save endangered wildlife species and ecosystems in 60 nations.

For nearly two decades WCS has assisted the government in managing national parks, reserves and buffer zones in the Republic of Congo, having first worked in the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in 1988. Through long experience, WCS has developed a profound understanding of the ecological and socio-political context for conservation in Congo, and has developed the tried and trusted relationships with government, private-sector, and local community actors required to make conservation happen.
