About Us

ABOUT US

The purpose of The Wildlife Conservation Center Inc. is many-fold.  Our priority is the conservation of threatened and endangered species that are threatened with extinction without human intervention.  Through captive, selective breeding and propagation practices ultimately this goal can be achieved.  The veterinary medical team is committed to the care and breeding of all animals on site.  By using selective genetic criteria, adhering to International and AZA SSP recommendations and collaborating with similar facilities and institutions, we can all provide the best genetically sound offspring.  Secondly, the WCC participates in research and genetic studies with other scientists globally to help ensure sustainable and genetically diverse populations of endangered species. Thirdly, WCC supports and has future plans to provide endangered species for reintroduction into their native habitats that are protected and prepared for their arrival.  Finally, this could not be accomplished without the education of new scientists and the public alike. The WCC interacts with like-minded facilities and provides animals and a workspace for scientific research and development of endangered species knowledge.
