Now our survival is threatened more by what we ourselves have worked, and by the stresses of living among these creations, than it is by wild animals to whom we relegate less and less living space with each passing year. In this world the need for good zoological gar-dens is urgent. The exponential growth of human population and the ever-increasing sprawl of cities does more than rob land from wildlife: it pushes the animals father away from city dwellers. People live in brick, concrete, and glass environments where they lose all touch with wilderness; children grow up who have never tried to catch a frog, never seen a hawk soar or a deer step daintily into a forest clearing—let alone watched a herd of elephants amble across the river or a pride of lions stalk prey.
People who have the time and money can take an occasional trip to the remaining wilderness and find, in places where wild animals still live, the renewal of spirit that comes from prolonged visits to wild country. For millions of others who are unable to leave the cities or can't afford to, good zoos laid out among plants and trees can bring what conservationist Lan Player calls "a taste of wilderness''. Perhaps more important in the long run, zoos can help give deprived people an awareness that we share the world with many other animals and should have a decent regard for their worth and right to live. If zoos did no more than accomplish these two ends, they would serve a noble purpose.
As it happens, however, today's zoos can do far more. They can become breeding centers for those wild species whose continued existence has become precarious. The team "captive breeding" has been used to describe this new role of zoos, and this book describes the effort the most important task that zoos have yet undertaken.

of us bought our beloved “pets”at pet shops or kept beautiful birds in cages.We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved.
People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is “Yes!” Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans.We believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering.Animal rights is not just a philosophy-it is a social movement that challenges society’s traditional views that all animals exist solely for human use.
