Animal parks (zoos, aquariums, etc.) help animals in several methods. First, the animals held in these collections are studied thoroughly throughout their lives for normal anatomy and physiology as well as to study common diseases. This research is then taken back to the wild by zoologic researchers and wildlife veterinarians to help manage and understand the wild populations.

Second, the animals are used to teach the general public about the animals, which helps to encourage conservation and protection for threatened and endangered species.

Third, many of these facilities are actively involved in conservation efforts around the world and contribute money and expertise to helping protect fragile ecosystems.
