Yes, this is one of the big advantages of having Zoos, they can help with the actual breeding, or store the sperm and eggs and then implant them to help advance the species. Whatever works, especially for endangered animals. Many times Zoos have helped keep the numbers of a species from dropping too low, also keeping the blood lines from becoming to narrow. You can work with Zoos from across the world as they did with the Panda babies. Not only opening the way for the animal to expand it's genetic pool but also for human communication, and relations to expand. What this person put is completely and utterly wrong zoos enceminate females through a long hard and painful process that only works 2% of the time there is an elephant at a zoo that was enceminated 247 times with only 1 baby that later on died of a disease. Zoos are bad for are animals before choosing where to go for the weekend with your kids please consider that.

2% of zoos breed and have success
Good things about zoos are that the zookeeper does research on the animal so, they can feed it, care for it and breeding it.
Zoos have breeding programs for endangered animals so they are helping keep a species alive.
because they do
Many animals in zoos are born in captivity, particularly those in well-established institutions that focus on breeding programs for endangered species. However, some zoos still house animals that were captured from the wild. The balance between captive breeding and wild capture varies by zoo and species, with a growing emphasis on conservation and breeding for sustainability.
Zoos ruin animal life. Animals should be free. Now, domestic animals wouldn't survive out in the wild.
To ensure the continuity of endangered species
Captive Breeding
Captive breeding of pandas in zoos and other facilities are breeding and raising pandas to repopulate the former range of the animals.
Zoos play a vital role in animal conservation. Zoos are not only a place to educate people about animals and what they needs, zoos also typically have breeding programs. They do their best to breed new generations of rare and endangered animals.
