Because the attraction rallies support for preserving and protecting their natural habitat. Zoos act as promotional centers for conservation.

Zoos act as promotional centers for conservation.

But they aren’t necessary for conservation. Conservation can occur without zoos.

Yes, but conservation is not a binary condition. Zoos are responsible for more conservation than we would otherwise have without them.

So you acknowledge that zoos are not necessary for conservation?

I love when people like you suddenly come up with a hot take that absolutely no one has ever thought through ever in the past hundreds of years.
