WCS Associação Conservação da Vida Silvestre is the Brazilian affiliate of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), a global conservation organization founded in the United States in 1895 as the New York Zoological Society. WCS has been active in Brazil for many decades, conducting research and conservation projects across the country's diverse biomes. The Brazilian entity was formally established as a non-governmental organization to provide a legal and operational base for WCS's activities in Brazil. While the exact founding year of the Brazilian association is not specified in the available evidence, its work is part of WCS's long-term commitment to the region. The organization operates under the WCS approach, which integrates ecological research, threat assessment, and community engagement to achieve conservation outcomes. Over the years, WCS Brasil has contributed to the protection of species such as jaguars, giant otters, and Amazon river dolphins, and has worked in protected areas and indigenous territories.
