Company Overview

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) saves wildlife and wild lands. We do so through careful science, international conservation, education, and the management of the world's largest system of urban wildlife parks, led by the flagship Bronx Zoo. Together, these activities change individual attitudes toward nature and help people imagine wildlife and humans living in sustainable interaction on both a local and a global scale. WCS is committed to this work because we believe it essential to the integrity of life on earth.

Since 1895, WCS has worked from our Bronx Zoo headquarters to save wildlife and wild lands throughout the world.

We uniquely combine the resources of wildlife parks in New York with field projects around the globe to inspire care for nature, provide leadership in environmental education, and help sustain our planet's biological diversity.

Today WCS is at work in 53 nations across Africa, Asia, Latin America and North America, protecting wild landscapes that are home to a vast variety of species from butterflies to tigers.

Our pioneering environmental education programs reach millions locally, nationally and internationally.

And the more than 4 million visitors who annually experience our Bronx Zoo, New York Aquarium and Central Park, Queens and Prospect Park Zoos are encouraged to learn about our natural world, and inspired to care about its future.

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is a non-profit, equal opportunity, diversity committed employer. WCS employs approximately 875 individuals on a full time basis. In addition, we hire between 700 and 1000 employees during peak seasons.

Full time jobs are available in the general areas of guest services, animal management, education, development, operations and maintenance, security and general administration. Annually, WCS receives thousands of applications for the limited number of positions that we have available. All of these positions are highly competitive and generally require related experience and/or a specific educational background in the particular area.
