NATURE & SPECIES CONSERVATION
Nature and species conservation is one of the central tasks of a zoological garden, especially in a world where so many species have become rare and intact habitats are disappearing. Zoos try to fulfil this task through public relations work, participation in research and animal protection projects. With the help of coordinated European Endangered Species Programmes (EEP), genetically stable "reserve populations" are maintained in zoos, which can then be made available for well-planned and supervised reintroduction programmes in national parks, nature reserves and intact habitats.
