The AZA Wildlife Contraception Center (WCC) began as the Contraception Advisory Group in 1989. As the role of contraception in the management of captive breeding programs grew, the Advisory Group expanded its services and membership.
Home to the Advisory Group's co-chairs, the Saint Louis Zoo has contributed funds and resources to its operation, and in 2000 the AZA selected the Saint Louis Zoo as the site for the newly commissioned WCC.
The WCC includes scientists, veterinarians, and animal managers with research and management expertise in wildlife contraception.
