WCS Run for the Wild
Make tracks for gharials.
They're iconic. They're majestic. They're endangered. They need your help.
This year's 5K Run and 3K Family Fun Run/Walk takes place at the Bronx Zoo on Saturday, April 26.
This year, WCS Run for the Wild is inspired by gharials. These charismatic crocodilians can grow up to 20 feet in length and are excellent swimmers and hunters. They have complex social structures, including elaborate courtship rituals, and males can engage in various vocalizations to communicate with other gharials. They face dire threats from habitat loss and destruction, pollution, and human persecution; the Indian gharial is critically endangered, with fewer than 1,000 remaining in the wild.
Animals around the world are going extinct 10,000 times faster than ever before. Your support will give them a fighting chance.
