Zoos provide safe havens for many endangered animals, offering a refuge from the challenges they face in the wild. Habitat destruction, climate change, and illegal poaching continue to threaten countless species, but zoos step in to offer a protective environment where these animals can thrive.

Through dedicated conservation programs, zoos help rebuild populations and give endangered species a second chance. These programs also include breeding efforts that support species recovery and release into the wild when possible. In this way, zoos serve as sanctuaries that protect wildlife and preserve biodiversity for future generations.
