This has risen many skeptical questions on whether zoos are useful in conservation of they only focus on entertainment and keeping animals in captivity. This essay discusses some reasons why zoos are very important in the protection of animals and preservation of endangered species. Zoos will prevent the extinction of endangered animal species.
