Zoos and conservation in the Anthropocene: opportunities and problems

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Activities of zoological gardens are increasingly scrutinized by researchers other than biologists and sectors of society. While this is evident proof of the relevance of zoos in present-day societies, the historical and scientific evidence supporting today zoo conservation mission is not always well-known outside the conservation community. In this chapter, a broad overview of zoo’s evolution and present work is offered by professionals with a long-term association with the zoo world. Any evaluation of zoo activities needs to be done in the framework of present-day environmental crisis that it is not just due to ‘climatic changes’ but to the collapse of ecosystem functioning and loss of biodiversity. If, as we believe, education of new generations remains fundamental to create new societal values towards wildlife and ecosystems, zoos are essential tools for directing attention of public opinion towards the root environmental problems of our time.
