In conclusion, it seems that zoos are trying to fulfill their goals to educate and conserve but in the process are harming the animals themselve. What is the solution then? One solution is to protect the natural homes or habitats of animals. Another possibility is to have habitat preserves where wild animals live with the least possible human interfernce. If the money and expertise that zoos are using today where redirected to habitat preservation and management, we would not have the problems of having of conserve species whose natual homes have disappeared. Nonetheless, there also has to be an international effort to control pollution and the illegeal capturing of endangered species.
