Did you know the Saint Louis Zoo is a world leader in saving endangered species and their habitats? Many of the animals you will see at the Zoo are threatened in the wild by shrinking habitats, disease and poaching. The need for conservation is greater than ever, with one vertebrate species disappearing from the Earth every day. Ultimately, we need to save the ecosystems on which animals and humans depend. The Saint Louis Zoo WildCare Institute, with the support of its Conservation Fellows , takes a holistic approach to troubled ecosystems by addressing three key ingredients in conservation success: wildlife management and recovery, conservation science, and support of the human populations that coexist with wildlife. 12 Centers.

WWF - Madagascar - Projects
The island nation of Madagascar, located off the east coast of Africa, is one of the world’s highest conservation priorities because of its enormous diversity of native species and alarming rate of habitat loss. Our Madagascar Project enhances local and national capacity for conservation through training and education, creates community-based protected areas to conserve tropical forest and wetland ecosystems, and addresses the potential extinction of raptor species. Madagascar’s incredible diversity of endemic species and rapid loss of habitat makes it one of the world’s highest conservation priorities.

tropical forests and lemur habitats. Zahamena National Park and Mantadia National Park, located in the northern and southern ends of the corridor, respectively, are anchors for CI's corridor conservation strategy. This Population Health and Environment project began in July 2003, with generous support from USAID. CI worked closely with its Malagasy partners, ASOS and MATEZA, to build local capacity and ensure project activities could continue after USAID funding ended in 2008. These two NGOs were selected for their ability to mobilize effective teams of health and conservation professionals on the ground, and for their experience in the field working at the grassroots level.

Madagascar is about as far away as you can get from the United States, both geographically and biologically. The same principles of ecology and evolution apply everywhere, but the different conditions have led to very different results. Likewise, the threats to biodiversity have underlying similarities, but the details are quite different.
