What is the role of zoos today?

Con el objetivo de crear conciencia sobre la conservación del medio ambiente mundial y la coexistencia de las personas y la vida silvestre, los zoológicos además de exhibir a los animales debería ofrecer programas educativos bajo el lema «Comunicar la belleza de la vida». Although environmental problems are increasing and attracting increasing public attention, the destruction of nature and climate change continue. Under these circumstances, what are the roles of zoos?

We don't really feel significantly about nature in our daily lives, although we often hear about the destruction of the environment and endangered species. Most people don't really feel much about nature or have a clear sense of the crisis we are experiencing.

Under such circumstances, the existence of zoos is becoming more significant as places where people can feel nature. Zoos are a gateway for people to learn about nature. Zoos should help visitors to become aware of nature by showing the current situation of animals and giving them the opportunity to have contact with nature and animals. That should be the most important role of zoos.
