I am not going to write your report for you, but you might consider what urban people already do for wildlife (besides donate billions of dollars to enviro groups!)

Raccoons, skunks, mice, rats and birds are all wildlife that have found urban living a boon! Coyotes, foxes, and weasels also do well inside city limits. Squirrels and possums need nut and fruit trees and urban people plant lots of trees even in the desert. Moles, shrews, deer and prairie dogs really appreciate lawns, gardens, and small orchards. In many cases the largest concentrations of these animals are in urban and suburban areas – especially in desert areas.

The urban environment includes a lot of trash cans, small pets, carefully cultivated trees and non-native plants, and gun bans all creating a good environment many species of wildlife.

Good luck on your report.

What is your view on zoo conservation?

i get a little indecisive when it comes to supporting and detesting zoos. Do you really think that captive breeding will do anything in the future for endangered species? Is it even possible to eventually release captive animals into the wild?

Zoos are vital for education, enabling people to see beautiful wild animals that they would never otherwise get to see, and teaching them about the threats to their species, which hopefully encourages them to respect and protect animals. The money they bring in is used to pay for the animals’ food and care and to fund breeding programmes, as well as the employees’ wages. Some also goes towards funding the protection of animals in the wild, and their habitats.

The main function of zoos is conservation. Without captive breeding, many endangered species would now be extinct – for example, the golden lion tamarin, red wolf and Przewalski’s horse. I am not for a moment suggesting that we should stop trying to protect animals’ natural habitats, but if endangered species were to become extinct in the wild (which sadly seems quite likely in the near future), zoos will have preserved them for future generations, with enough genetic diversity that the possibility for reintroduction to the wild exists. In my opinion it would be unforgivable to allow tigers, pandas and so on to become extinct because they were wiped out in the wild due to hunting, habitat loss, etc., and people did not want to see them in captivity. Would you like to explain to your children or grandchildren that they will never see a tiger except in pictures, because you disagreed with zoos?

In any decent zoo, the animals always come first, and the public (and staff) second. In the zoo I worked at, some of the animals’ enclosures were so carefully desinged to provide the animal with cover that the public never got to see it, and cleaning was extremely difficult for we keepers. This was obviously for the animals’ benefit, rather than for people’s.

It’s also important to remember that animals in zoos are captive-bred – they have not been taken from the wild and locked up in cages. They were born in captivity and have known nothing else. They do not miss the wild, since they have no idea such a thing exists, and are certainly not unhappy – if they were, zoos would not achieve the breeding success they do (unhappy or unhealthy animals do not breed). One might even argue that they are better off in captivity, since they do not have to contend with the constant dangers of the wild – disease, injury, predation, starvation, etc.

It’s true that captive conditions in the past were often cruel, the animals being kept in cramped cages and so on, but today all good zoos are carefully regulated – the animals are kept in conditions as close as possible to their natural habitat, with plenty of space, good diets and immediate medical care if they need it. Everything possible is done to ensure that they don’t get bored – environmental enrichment is found in all good zoos. The animals will have scenery in their enclosure, things to play with if they’re a playful species, and problems to solve in order to get their food, rather than it just being dropped in front of them.

In today’s world, zoos are nothing short of essential.
