The Arsenal Building on 5th Ave and 64 Street was where a premier global organization based in New York City, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) briefed members of the foreign press. The briefing centered on their current strategies to contribute to regional and global conservation.
WCS manages the world’s largest field-conservation effort in more than 50 countries with a portfolio of Nature’s Strongholds covering more than 16 million hectares. Topics discussed include work to declare the Hudson Canyon, 100 miles off the coast of New York a National Marine Sanctuary; legislation in the U,S. Congress that would lead to more funding of conservation projects around the world; and WCS’s role in advancing 30x30.
Globally recognized days for conservation include World Wildlife Day in March and Environmental / Earth Awareness Month in April.
