Who We Are
​

Conservation Centers for Species Survival (C2S2) is a science-based global initiative taking collective action to save animals from extinction. Bringing together the resources and expertise of conservation breeding centers as well as conservation-minded zoos and private landowners, we are achieving the necessary scale to build large-scale, sustainable populations of endangered species in secure havens. Given continued threats to critical habitats, an assurance population secured today is many species best bet for long-term survival.

A Partnership of Conservation Centers
​

The Conservation Centers are world leaders that have recovered some of the rarest species on the planet, from the giant panda to the black-footed ferret to the scimitar-horned oryx. The collaboration represents 100,000 acres of large, naturalistic areas and decades of experience in wildlife management, recovery management and reintroduction programs.
