JOIN OUR HERD
the power to protect wildlife is in your hands
C2S2 is not your typical conservation non-profit. We are a results-oriented organization that uses scientifically-driven approaches to save critically endangered species. We lead our research teams as they develop the next generation of scientific tools to ensure that wild species can survive and flourish as their habitats shrink. We work with private landowners, conservation-minded zoos, and Conservation Centers that together manage over 100,000 acres of naturalistic space to build large-scale, sustainable populations of endangered species. Our success in increasing the cheetah population by an unprecedented percentage demonstrates that our methods are key to restoring a healthy ecosystem.
Be part of a passionate community determined to ensure a future where wildlife thrives. Your donation helps fund the most urgent and innovative conservation efforts put in place to protect and restore vital species populations.
C2S2’s Approach is Grow-Optimize-Return
We grow space, populations, and participation.
We optimize genetic diversity, reproductive success, animal health, and data integration.
We return animals to the wild, funds from efficiencies, and balance to ecosystems.
Funding Priorities
Our funding priorities directly benefit members and participants in achieving their mission of building sustainable populations of endangered species.
