Taking Action
The NFWC is committed to protecting wildlife populations and their natural habitats. Just like the animals under our care at the NFWC, our conservation programs span the globe. From recycling non-biodegradable materials and local food waste, to increasing forest cover in Madagascar and populations of giant anteaters in South America, here’s a taste of what the NFWC is doing to ensure the continued conservation of the natural world and wildlife across the globe.

Public Educational Outreach
Through public educational outreach, people develop the critical thinking skills they need to understand the complexities of ecological problems. Public educational outreach also encourages people to act on their own to conserve natural resources and use them in a responsible manner by making informed resource decisions.
Propagation of Rare & Endangered Species
Captive breeding programs propagate rare and endangered species in zoological facilities to mitigate extinction threats. This is done by maintaining large, healthy, and genetically diverse captive populations as well as by reintroducing species to the wild. To date, over fifty species of mammals and birds alone have been saved from extinction thanks to captive breeding efforts.
