At present, many wild animal species living on earth are in need of immediate conservation efforts in order to remove the threat of extinction. This includes gorillas and some species of dolphin, both popular with zoos and aquariums. Other animals, such as Asian elephants, orangutans, and dugongs, will more than likely disappear from the wild in the near future if nothing is done to protect them and their habitats. Saving wild animals from extinction will help conserve biodiversity, which will enrich the lives of everyone on the planet. It is necessary to promote not only research, conservation and education activities in wild habitats, but also in zoos and aquariums, such as artificial breeding and environmental education programs intended to protect wild animals from extinction. Consequently, zoos and aquariums are now frequently focused on the task of conserving wild species.
This symposium gathers international researchers at the forefront of research, conservation, and education efforts involving animals in wild habitats and at zoos and aquariums. These experts will discuss effective means of conserving wild animals, as well as how researchers at universities, zoos and aquariums can better collaborate with each other. The achievements of this symposium will be announced from Nagoya, the host city of COP10.
