Zoos are at the forefront of efforts to save endangered species from extinction through captive breeding programs. These initiatives provide safe spaces where vulnerable species can reproduce without the threats they face in the wild. Breeding programs are meticulously planned to ensure genetic diversity and health, preparing animals for possible reintroduction into their natural habitats. Such programs have successfully revived populations of critically endangered animals, giving hope for the future of biodiversity.
Today’s zoos are committed to providing high standards of animal welfare, with facilities designed to cater to the physical and psychological needs of every species.
Biodiversity, or the variety of life on Earth, is essential for a healthy planet. Zoos play a critical role in preserving biodiversity by housing a wide range of species.
