Zoos have been a part of human culture for centuries, serving as places where people, especially children, can learn about and connect with wildlife. Over the years, the role and perception of zoos have significantly evolved. Today, zoos are not just enclosures for animals; they are institutions dedicated to conservation, research, education, and sometimes, the rehabilitation of wildlife. However, they are also subjects of criticism and ethical debate.
