Question

After learning about the different protected areas for conservation of wildlife, Riya wonders why zoos are not considered one of them. Can you explain the reason for the same?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Zoos aren't breeding animals with the intent of replenishing threatened populations: Babies bring visitors through the gates, and captive breeding gives the public a false sense of security about a species' survival. But that belief undermines support for and diverts resources from in-situ conservation efforts.
