Zoos are keeping endangered animals in the zoo, to try and help the species by breeding them. If they can get them to reproduce and have healthy offspring that will be able to breed in the future, they are contributing to the species population in general, and the diversity of the gene pool for the species. The hope is that in the long run the species will not be endangered anymore. Also if the species is still endangered, or needs serious conservation work, we might have had time to learn new techniques, and technology to make other advances that can make a major difference in helping maintain the health of the species populations.
because they want to preserve the endangered species that are in the zoos
yes
So the species does not become extinct.
To ensure the continuity of endangered species
Wildlife reserves or sanctuaries, zoos.
Zoos have breeding programs for endangered animals so they are helping keep a species alive.
cause many hunters will kill them in wild
Captive Breeding
The Capuchin is an endangered species of monkey. Certain wildlife organizations are taking certain measures to preserve the Capuchin species.
No the zoos are not helping the endanger species because they are only helping some endangered species
Some zoos have animals just for show and they breed them there. Other zoos just have endangered animals: animals that are injured and cannot survive in the wild, babies that have been abandoned or separated from their parents or endangered species. But some zoos have a mixture of both... :)
They are doing plenty, but there is always more they could do.
