Essay about necessaty of zoos
First of all, nowadays we need to help the nature and animals
that are the ones facing quite big danger of becoming extinct. Mostly it
is caused by our selfish attitude: we do not take care of nature. Zoo is
one of the solutions to help to preserve nature and to protect it from
poachers. For example Loxodonta africana is an African elephant who
has been hunt down and whose population was significantly reduced in
20th century.The population in the Tanzanian Selous Game Reserve,
once the largest of any reserve in the world, dropped from 109 000 in
1976 to 13 000 in 2013. 85 000 elephants were lost to poaching in
Tanzania between 2009 and 2014. Even though zoos compared to
reserves are really small, they are still important in preserving animal
species.
Also, some of the animals lose their natural habitat completely
due to the natural disasters or something even worse like pollution
