Zoos

Zoos are facilities that house and care for a variety of animal species for public education, conservation, and research. They provide a controlled environment where people can observe animals up close, gaining insight into their behaviors and habitats. Modern zoos focus on conservation efforts, breeding endangered species, and educating the public about wildlife and environmental issues. Many zoos also support global conservation initiatives and habitat protection efforts. While historically criticized for animal welfare concerns, today’s zoos aim to create enriching environments that promote the well-being of the animals they care for.
