Zoos and Aquaria
Zoos and aquaria are facilities that house and display a variety of animals and aquatic life for public education and enjoyment. Zoos typically feature terrestrial animals, while aquaria focus on marine and freshwater species. Both institutions aim to promote conservation, research, and awareness about wildlife and their habitats.
Visitors to zoos and aquaria can learn about different species, their behaviors, and the importance of biodiversity. Many zoos and aquaria also participate in breeding programs for endangered species, contributing to global conservation efforts. These facilities often provide interactive experiences, such as animal encounters and educational programs, to engage the public.
