Established 10 years ago as the Living Landscapes Program, Conservation Support works with WCS staff from around the world to develop and deploy wildlife-focused tools and strategies that help to save wildlife and wild places. Conservation Support provides direct support to WCS projects and programs and undertakes activities to enhance skills, share lessons learned and disseminate best practices across the organization and beyond. We also help WCS to track and credibly report our conservation progress and strategy effectiveness. We use a diversity of approaches, including one-on-one and group training, remote mentoring, distance-learning modules and the production and dissemination of how-to manuals. In these ways, we help our conservation colleagues learn how to make effective use of conservation tools and strategies.

We accomplish our work with the support and assistance of the following partners:
