Zoos Encourage Research and Recreation
Along with conservation comes valuable research. The more we learn about animals, the better we can preserve them and provide for their needs. Zoos are not perfect, but I assure you that they are getting better everyday. Thirty years ago animals were enclosed in small areas made of concrete and metal bars. However, the enclosures have improved by leaps and bounds since then. Today animal habitats in zoos have been created to closely resemble the animals’ natural habitat in the wild. With each day, new information is uncovered and additional steps are being taken to continue improving the lives of animals living in zoological parks.
Recreation is an important factor to consider as well. There are over 200 accredited zoos in America, and last year nearly 160 million people visited zoos and aquariums – this makes visiting zoos the largest recreational activity in the country. Zoos provide the opportunity for people to come together and learn about the creatures we share the planet with, all while supporting wildlife conservation programs for thousands of animal species.

Alot goes on behind the scenes that helps find out why various species are in decline and how we may help them. While the tickets sold for admission and other recreation for the public to enjoy they fund research on species which includes creating assurance colonies so that species on the brink are not lost forever. The animal attractions that use both keeper and animals educate the public that man and animal can co-exist side by side as they have for thousands of years while at the same time showing the public that the animals are intelligent interactive beings to be respected and protected.
