d make them conscious about the adverse impact of anthropogenic activities that promote extinction of animal species.
Education: Education is crucial for conservation .Educating people about significance of wild animals and their presence in nature by various means through their visit zoo to described widely as successful.
Research: In a zoo students of zoology, ecology and conservation biology have many things to learn. Most important field for research in a zoo is adaptation studies of wild animals in an environment different from their native habitat.
Knowledge of wild animal husbandry has increased greatly in recent years, resulting now in the need for populations of many species to be regulated by cooperative zoo efforts. Collective efforts are also re q u i red to exchange accumulated husbandry and reproduction knowledge and experience for species that do not as yet breed optimally in zoos.
Zoos are institutions that can uniquely integrate their three major conservation tasks of environmental education, research, and species and habitat conservation. Combined with the enormous public interest in zoos and the ever more intensive cooperation within the worldwide zoo network, this integrated approach provides a great potential for conservation. The World Zoo Conservation Strategy strongly emphasizes that cooperation, coordination, and interaction in all conservation efforts are the only means for success.
