NYC Luxury Rentals and the Bronx Wildlife Center
The Wildlife Conservation Society has been set up to save wildlife and wild
lands through conservation not only in New York, but around the world. The
wildlife parks include the Bronx Zoo, New York Aquarium, Central Park Zoo,
Queens Zoo, and Prospect Park Zoo.
Go green
The Wildlife Conservation Society originated in 1895 as the New York
Zoological Society. The name was changed to the Wildlife Conservation Society in
1993. Their mandate was to advance wildlife conservation, promote the study of
zoology, and create a first-class zoological park. Some notable New Yorkers
involved in its creation include Andrew Green and Theodore Roosevelt. The Bronx
Zoo was created as the flagship zoo and was designed as a cultural icon that you
can visit with your Condo NYC Luxury Rentals. Today, the Wildlife Conservation Society works in 53
countries across the world to protect all species from insects to the king of
the jungle.
See a map of New York unlike any other
One thing that you can learn about when you visit with your
Rent Luxury Condo Manhattan NYC is
the Manhattan Project, which is a project by the WCS to map exactly how
Manhattan looked when Henry Hudson discovered it in 1609. Elements on the map
include where the streams flowed, and where species of trees grew. The project
was designed to see how we have altered the natural ecosystem.
Go back to the beginning
The Bronx Zoo was the original project for the Bronx Conservation Society.
Some of the exhibits in the Bronx Zoo that you can visit with your NYC Luxury Rentals include seeing
Western lowland gorillas in the Congo Gorilla Forest, visiting the Himalayan
Highlands, or sweating it out in the Asian rain forest.
Welcome to the jungle
You can also transport yourself to the Asian rainforest without even leaving
New York. This is a 37,000 square-foot Asian rainforest that is a permanent 75
degrees inside. There are four types of rainforest habitats marked by signs
inside. From floor to ceiling you will find a wealth of animals in here. The
stag beetles, walkingsticks, and fired-bellied toads creep along the forest
floor. At the top of the trees the Bali mynah and Indian roller fly around,
while the white-cheeked gibbons swing from tree-to-tree.
Stay central to Manhattan
The Central Park Zoo is another part of the Bronx Conservation Society. There
are three major exhibit areas here - tropic, temperate, and arctic - that are
housed in discreet buildings. One of the favorite attractions to check out here
with your NYC Luxury Rentals is the Polar Bear Pool.
The Bronx Conservation Society is committed to protecting all species by
education efforts.
