History
2007
The service was launched on April 6, 2007 and is free to users and generates revenue from advertising including banner ads. On November 1, 2007, the site launched its online community after it obtained a license from Invision Power Services. This gave the registered users of the site a "meeting" place where they could have public or private discussions with other registered members.

2008
After receiving numerous searches for information on the WCS Bronx Zoo, New York Resources Project launched a dedicated online community towards the discussion of the Bronx Zoo on May 20, 2008. In the six weeks that the site has been launched, it received over 30 new registered members and its 50th member on July 1, 2008.
