5. Conservation Through the Zoo Conservation Outreach Group (ZCOG), our zoo, plus man others, aidein the conservation efforts of Central and south american zoos by providing http://www.thealexandriazoo.com/conservation.html

How you live, what you do, what you buy does make a difference. Conservation is defined as the wise use and protection of our natural resources - plants, animals, or minerals. Our plants and animals that live in the wild are vital in many ways to man's existence - our food supplies, our health, and the quality of our lives. It is important to conserve habitats and entire ecosystems, as well as single species. Development that seems good for us is not always good for the millions of species of plants and animals that also inhabit the planet. As natural habitats around the world are destroyed, species become homeless and eventually disappear. It does not mean that we must stop logging, farming, or hunting, or using our natural resources. But, it does mean that we must do these things with careful planning. Accredited zoos and aquariums view education as a primary commitment to the future of wildlife conservation. Everyone must learn that each animal has its own spot in the complex web of ecology and that to remove or damage one portion of that web may weaken the entire structure. Each species is unique and by destroying even one plant or animal, many other species may be affected. Because of their commitment to captive propagation of endangered species, zoos and aquariums accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association are the last refuge many animals have against extinction. Collectively, zoos and aquariums are the largest conservation education organization in the world, and professionals feel that preserving ecosystems should be a priority in wildlife conservation.

The Tapir Gallery: Focus on the lowland tapir Inhabiting a paradise in peril The lowland, Brazilian, or South American tapir ( Tapirus terrestris ) is indigenous to most of the rainforested areas of South America. While there are more of this species left than of the Baird's, mountain and Malayan tapirs, the rainforests are suffering at the hands of humanity, and the tapirs are disappearing along with the rainforest. In addition, tapirs are often hunted, a pressure they cannot withstand for long. Tapirs figure in myths, legends, and religious beliefs of indigenous people. The Piaroas Indians of South America do not kill the tapir ( Tapirus terrestris ) because they believe tapirs to be "a sacred animal in which their ancestors are reincarnated."
