Transcript
Why zoos are important for wildlife conservation. As a scientist, I see zoos as a place of scientific research that help to protect wildlife species from going extinct. And this includes learning about their behavior and also creating breeding programs. And when we protect wildlife, we also protect ecosystems that support human beings as well. Everglades scientists out.
