In the face of ever-declining biodiversity, zoos have a major role
to play in species conservation. Written by professionals involved
in in-situ conservation and restoration projects internationally,
this is a critical assessment of the contribution of zoos to
species conservation through evidence amassed from a wide range of
sources. The first part outlines the biodiversity context within
which zoos should operate, introducing the origins and global
spread of zoos and exploring animal collection composition. The
second part focuses on the basic elements of keeping viable captive
animal populations. It considers the consequences of captivity on
animals, the genetics of captive populations and the performance of
zoos in captive breeding. The final part examines ways in which
zoos can make a significant difference to conservation now and in
the future. Bridging the gap between pure science and applied
conservation, this is an ideal resource for both conservation
biologists and zoo professionals.
