Answer 2

Most of today’s non-profit and serious zoological gardens display wild animals, not just for the amusement and the entertainment of their visitors, but primarily for conservation of endangered species, for education and biological research. The concern of these institutions is to help save the diversity of life on Earth through applied conservation activities such as breeding endangered species.

In 1993 the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), formerly known as the International Union of the Directors of Zoological Gardens, produced its first conservation strategy. In November 2004 WAZA adopted a new strategy that sets out the aims and mission of zoological gardens of the twenty-first century

The breeding of endangered species is coordinated by cooperative breeding programmes containing international studbooks and coordinators, who evaluate the roles of individual animals and institutions from a global or regional perspective. There are regional programmes for the conservation of endangered species:

* America: Species Survival Plans SSP (American Zoo and
Aquarium Association AZA, Canadian Association of Zoos and
Aquariums)
* Europe: European Endangered Species Program EEP
(European Association of Zoos and Aquaria)
* Australasia: Australasian Species Management Program ASMP
(Australasian Regional *Association of Zoological Parks and
Aquaria ARAZPA)
* Africa: African Preservation Program APP (African Association
of Zoological Gardens and Aquaria PAAZAB)
* Japan: Conservation activities of Japanese Association of Zoos
and Aquariums JAZA
* South Asia: Conservation activities of South Asian Zoo
Association for Regional Cooperation SAZARC
* South East Asia: Conservation activities of South East Asian
Zoo Association SEAZA

Some examples :
Farmers in Africa think the spotted cheetah is an annoying pest. So they trap and kill them. Now cheetahs are in danger of disappearing forever. The National Zoo in Washington, D.C. is trying to change that through the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia, Africa. Scientists there are showing farmers that they don't have to kill cheetahs to keep them off their farms.

The San Diego Zoo just opened the Conservation and Research for Endangered Species Center. The $22 million center gives scientists cutting-edge instruments and plenty of room to do their work.

The California zoo is famous for its work helping to save China's giant panda. Three panda cubs have been born at the zoo already. The San Diego Zoo now has the largest population of giant pandas outside mainland China.

Do some research on the web for more info....Good luck with ur project!! Hope u do well :)
