The Science & Conservation Center is the world’s foremost facility dedicated to research, development, distribution, and field-based application for the advancement of the humane control of wildlife populations through fertility control.
Researchers at the center produce, distribute and oversee quality control for a wildlife contraceptive vaccine called PZP Immunocontraception, registered as Zonastat. The center is also the repository for all records and data required by the Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency.

The SCC is affiliated with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Reproductive Management Center at the St. Louis Zoo. Contraceptive research carried out in zoos and aquariums has direct applications to the management of wild animal populations found in National Parks and Reserves. The SCC has applied this technology to the management of wildlife including wild horse and urban deer populations across the United States and the world.
SCC researchers coordinate with wildlife groups to provide training and perform field-based application of contraception to wildlife populations.

White-tailed deer are known for their impressive swimming abilities. Not only are they fast and agile on land, but they’re also skilled in the water. When needed, these deer can zip through the waves at speeds reaching up to 13 miles per hour! This talent comes in handy for escaping predators, moving around their environment, and exploring new areas to call home.
The Science and Conservation Center is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to the development of humane wildlife contraceptives and methods of application. Our research supports the transition to safe, humane, and publicly acceptable wildlife management paradigms that are beginning to replace human-imposed lethal methods.
