Some zoos maintain breeding programs to assist endangered species. Unfortunately it seems the countries where many of these species live in the wild are unable to control the poaching which is quite sad.
BTW, it certainly doesn't help matters when inattentive perhaps criminally and civilly liable parents let their children jump into animal enclosures necessitating the loss of an animal's life.
