A growing recognition that zoos ought to be in the vanguard of the fight for the devastation of our natural world has begun a zoologic revolution. The change occurred in the 1960s, when the Jersey zoo was set up to breed endangered species. As a result, the breeding of animals in captive has become a complex science, with zoos around the world co- ordinating their efforts to avoid the genetic dangers of in-breeding small populations. The answer to the question of whether zoos can have much impact on the preservation of endangered species is probably minimal. Zoos do not focus their education efforts on those people in the strongest positions to affect the future of the wildlife being exhibited. For the most part, conservation education is targeted at children and other non-decision makers in a process too slow or too far away to address the extinction crisis which exists now. Furthermore, the efforts of zoos to inform lawmakers and government authorities are usually low-key or un- existent. Campaigns are more likely to be for an animal exhibit other than for the existence of the animal itself. Nevertheless, it does not do to address the future from a foundation of pessimism. A vision of the future is embraced in which the human population has leveled off at about 8.8 billion and wherein human effects upon the environment have been tethered and considerable wildlife remain. It certainly will not be as rich or abundant as today’s wildlife, but with substantially diversity, numbers of more or less wild ecosystems, and the zoos’ work, this vision can become reality.
