The Wildlife Tracking Center at Disney's Animal Kingdom
The Wildlife Tracking Center (WTC) at Disney's Animal Kingdom is an exciting lab where researchers work every day to find ways to help conserve wildlife and wild places. Our mission is to provide everyone with a fun, interactive first-hand experience with cutting edge conservation research projects as they are being performed. All of the work in the WTC is designed to assist us in better caring for wildlife and wild places.
The WTC provides an opportunity to highlight some of the technology that is used to study animals in the field and in captivity. In this lab, we study things we can't easily see or hear�hence the references to "tracking". As we learn more, we can use this information to help us develop long-term conservation programs for these species.
The three main areas of research at the WTC are:
