One obvious answer is that many animals are endangered due to loss of habitat or poaching. Refuges protect their habitat and give them a place where they can live and reproduce, hopefully growing their populations. Refuges are also more easily defended from poachers and people that mean them harm. The population is within a known area so the people that protect the population are better able to protect them.

Another less obvious way is that they provide education and viewing opportunities to the public, increasing awareness and making the species more personable to the general public. When people can see a real, living, breathing animal, they connect with it more and become more aware of conservation efforts.

There are many more ways but these are a few of the biggest.

Will the fact of endangered animals be solved?

The problem with endangered species is that contrary to what you were taught in school, no novel genetic material of any kind is entering the world. When a genetic line is eliminated, it will not return, and neither will it be replaced by something more interesting. This makes the world a sadder place.
