though we can protect animals in zoos , wildlife sanctuaries and national parks are considered best for conserving certain animal species . why
Zoo is a simulated environment of an organism. The organism are kept away from their natural habitats and they are not freely living or hunting etc. Whereas national parks and wildlife sanctuaries provide natural surroundings and animals own native habitat. In addition they offer protection from hunting, poaching etc. Hence the latter are better for conservation. Also in addition to the animals the flora and the entire ecosystem of the place is also preserved in case of parks and sanctuaries.
