Do Zoos Help Conservation? #shorts

#zoos #kpassionate #shorts
Do zoos and aquariums help contribute to conservation and research? As a marine biologist who works at a zoological facility, I get this question a lot. And the answer is yes! According to National Geographic and the National Institutes of Health, every year, WAZA, CAZA, and AZA accredited zoos and aquariums carry out thousands of research and conservation projects, half of which are field projects in over 80 countries. WAZA accredited facilities spend nearly 350 million US dollars every year on conservation and research, making zoos and aquariums the third largest contributor to conservation in the world.
