Animal conservation has always been a topic people should be aware of, but sometimes it is not always about saving the elephants, tigers, or giant pandas. Sometimes animal conservation is about animals that most people never knew existed until it is too late. Dominique Mosbergen and Nick Visser have written multiple articles together for the Huffington Post, and most are about animal conservation or awareness to certain species that need high lightening in the hopes that something could be done to
Captive breeding plays an important role in conservation biology. However it is not perfect tool since it has drawbacks in breeding rate, inbreeding, lost of gene variation, surplus animals, adaptation captivity,etc. a. Breeding rate Not all species breed well in captivity. Most species that easily breed in captivity has the same management requirements with domestic animals or considerable experience. Poor reproduction in captivity is often due to behavior problems caused by inadequate husbandry
human beings but to animals as well. Human is capable of changing themselves to the environment but animals are not able to do this. In order to give animals due to protection, zoos are made and different breeding programs are started. The zoo is such a place where animals are provided with their required and best suitable environment so that they can be protected from any difficulty. On the other hand Breeding programs are planning a breeding schedule which is for several animals or for their several
captive animals with a variable environment enhances their behavioural flexibility in response to the variable environment this has positive physical and mental health or he animals (Davis, 2015). It is evident in many zoos globally including old South African zoos that still have their yesteryear enclosures, that zoos were more like places of amusement that did not have a conceptualisation of what the needs of the animals were. They were not the places of public education, conservation, research
of seeing animals again that went extinct thousands of years ago? Some people believe that extinct species should be brought back to life, however, I think that we shouldn’t and here are three reasons why. The first reason I do not agree with de-extinction is because they could bring back retroviruses or pathogens. Another reason why I do not want extinct animals to come back

with regards to this species, often unwarranted fear of snakes among humans increases the intensity of conflict where thousands of snakes are killed every year out of sheer paranoia. (Translocation Tragedies: Are We Really “Rescuing” Snakes?. Conservation
about animal care, and decreased visitor rates. Zoos have existed for thousands of years and only recently have strict regulations been enforced. In zoos earliest state, zoos were reserved solely for the monarchs. The earliest zoo was discovered
The main issues with the captivity of zoo animals is that many suffer from numerous psychological problems. Justin Worland, author of “The Future of Zoos” used a recent study made by Kari A. Morfeld and Janine L. Brown and explained, “Elephants thrive best when they have social connections and the challenge of having to gather their own food. When those factors aren’t present, elephants tend to have impaired mental states and do not carry out basic functions like reproduction (Worland). Modern zoos
More animals are belonging to diurnal animals. They have a high competition in hunting food because of other predators. Diurnal animals hunt at day while nocturnal search food at night. Therefore, in this case, both animals can find their food without competing each other. Many animals that live in extremely hot and arid places avoid the heat of the day and water loss by being active at night. This case is common at animals which live at dry places or at desserts
