What role do zoos play towards Indian tigers?
Zoos, parks and sanctuaries are a back up to real wild tiger conservation efforts, by controlled breeding of certain tiger to enclosures species remains as genetically strong as possible, captivity is not the best way to ensure survival of Indian tigers. Life in captivity really is a misguided answer of poaching, above all it degrades the meaning and natural purpose of wild life, but still acts as good substitute in the age where Indian wild tigers could be extinct within a few years or so. Zoos primarily do adoptions for breeding programmes to increase numbers but still gives a good opportunity for the public and zoos to maximise involvement in conservation of this sub species.

Six hundred million people look at tigers in zoos every year in India. That’s a piont where people can be educated about them.
