    Well how else would you suggest people come in contact with the wildlife of this world?

    By going to their habitats?

    obviously critical in making people care about protecting it

    No. Zoos are not critical in making people care about protecting wildlife.

      Taking tourists into natural habitats is way more destructive than having a few specimens on display in artificial habitats.

        I’m not talking about tourists viewing exotic animals from far off places, I’m talking about people going into the countryside that’s near to them and seeing the wildlife there.
