There are many great books on conservation biology and many great books on zoos, as well as shelves full of academic journals and other literature that deal with these topics and their areas of overlap. It is a vast body of work, and for a new entrant to the field, one that is hard to navigate. Here is the answer to that problem. Fa, Funk and O’Connell have brought together all the various strands related to zoos and their roles in animal conservation. The book includes detailed treatments on the full range of relevant topics, ranging from the background to the current species extinction crisis through to the contributions that zoos can make to address it.
