New York Needs More Green To Take Environmental Lead
Saying it needs to live up to its name, the Wildlife Conservation Society is taking steps to make the Central Park and Bronx zoos and its other animal parks more environmentally friendly.
“We can’t be a leader in global conservation if we don’t also live it at home,” President Steven E. Sanderson said in a release Wednesday as the organization announced plans for a 30-percent cut in its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
The 112-year-old organization conducts research and works to protect rare and endangered animals in various places around the world. Based at the Bronx Zoo, it also operates the Central Park, Prospect Park, and Queens zoos and the New York Aquarium.
