even though built for conservation purposes, only small percentage of endangered species are exhibited, impacting reintroduction programs

even for captive breeding, with the small population of the species, it may be unsuccessful to breed

further impacted with the lack of space and moreover, the comfort for the species

this lack of space thus failed to replicate its natural habitat to develop its natural behavior and furthermore, it may be close to impossible to replicate exactly the interactions and wide territory of species

this thus cause stress and behavioral changes upon species in captivity

public may view it as affecting their welfare/wellbeing trapped in captivity and cause them despair, thus immorality

even with reintroduction to the wild, the ecosystem are ever-changing, impacting the adaptability of that species/individual

the goal of the zoos can easily be swayed by stakeholders for greed/profit which highlights that the mission of zoos is primarily 'window-dressing'

zoos are aimed for entertainment, education, scientific research, and conservation

with the overwhelming negative impacts on species, zoos can be used as a solution to helping the species from dislocations or even extinction (especially small population in the wild where they can then be better manage and monitor, as preservation of habitat may not be enough to slow/stop the extinction rate)

provide ex situ conservation, such as captive breeding and reintroduction

both the zoos and public have the opportunity to contribute to conservation efforts (if manage/goal is as appropriate/intended)

genetic management for small population of captive animals can be beneficial for the small and declining populations in the wild

with increase growth in ecotourism, can also bring lot more damages to the environment

hidden agendas, potential gains (profit) and competition within the tourism industries (public vs private agencies) which increase potential misuse/abuse the true goal of ecotourism

varies in developed and developing countries where investment on efforts may benefit or detriment to conservation areas for tourism

moreover, developing countries may need high financial aid from developed countries for implementation

this is influenced by social, economic, political, and governance pressure locally, regionally and globally

policies and regulations to be heavily implemented or there will be uncontrolled consequences

furthermore, with competition with the big companies, locals can be outcompeted and taken over as big companies exploit the conservation areas for profitability

there is importance for stakeholder communication to build a strong framework for ecotourism planning
