のIn my view, (1)it_is perfectly possible for many species of animals living in gon..

one that is automatically ‘good' is, I think, an error. Furthermore, zoos serve several key
purposes.
の Firstly, zoos aid conservation. Colossal numbers of species are becoming extinct
across the world, and many more are increasingly threatened and therefore risk extinction.
Moreover, some of these collapses have been sudden, dramatic and unexpected, or were
simply discovered very late in the day. Aspecies protected in captivity can be bred up to
provide a reservoir*3 population against a population crash or extinction in the wild. A
good number of species only exist in captivity, with many ofthese livinginzoos. Stillmore
only exist in the wildbecause they have been reintroduced from zoos, or have wild
populations that have been1o0osted by captive bred animals Without (2these efforts there
would be fewer species alive today. Although reintroduction successes are few and far
between*4, the numbers are increasing, and the very fact that species have been saved or
reintroduced as a result of captive breeding proves the value of such initiatives.
③ Zoos alsoprovide education. Many children and adults, especially those in cities, will
never see a wild animal beyond a fox or pigeon.
While it is true that television
documentaries are becoming ever more detailed and impressive, and many natural history
specimens are on display in museums, there really is nothing to compare with seeinga
living creature in the flesh*5, hearing it, smelling it, watching what it does and having the
time to absorb details. That alone will bring a greater understanding and perspective to
many, and hopefully give them a greater appreciation for wildlife, conservation efforts and
how they can contribute.
④ Inaddition to this, there isalsothe education that cantake place in Z0Osthrough signs,
talks and presentations which directly communicate information to visitors about the
animals they are seeing and their place in the world. This was an area where zoos used
to be lacking, but they are now increasingly sophisticated in their communication and

waureach*6 work. Many zooS aleo work diroctlv to educate conservation workers in other
6 Zoos also play a key role in research. If we are to save wild species and restore and
repair ecosystems we need to know about how key species live, act and react. Being able
to undertake research on animals in zoos where there is less risk and fewer variables
means real changes can be efected*7 on wild populations. Finding out about, for éxample,
thè oestrus*8 cycle of an animal or its breeding rate helps us manage wild populations.
Procedures such as capturing and moving at-risk or dangerous individuals are bolstered*9
by knowledge gained in zoos aboutdoses for anaésthetics*10, and by experience in handling
and transporting animals. This can makea real difference to conservation efforts and to
the reduction of human-animal conflicts, and can provide a knowledge base for helping
with the increasing threats of habitat destruction and other problems.
しる。
In conclusion, considering the many ongoing global threats to the environment, it is
hard for me to see zoos as anything other than essential to the long-term survival of
numerous species. They are vital not just in terms of protecting animals, but as a means
of learning about them to aid those still in the wild, as well as educating and informing the
general population about these animals and their world so that they can assist or at least
accept the need to be more environmentally conscious. Without them, the world would be,
and would increasingly become, a much poorer place.
