resilience? Resilience is the ability of an ecosystem (or component of an ecosystem) to adapt to a changing environment and to restore function and structure following an episode of natural or human- induced stress. Ecosystems rich in biodiversity generally have greater resilience than those with little diversity. They are able to recover more readily from naturally induced stress (including drought and fire) and human- induced habitat destruction. 2. Under what conditions does

The roles of Zoos in conservation The main aim of zoos is to protect and conserve global biodiversity and wildlife. To do this they have four roles to play which are; research‚ conservation‚ education and welfare. Research: Research is the careful search or inquiry for new facts by scientific study of a subject‚ through a course of critical investigation. By studying animals we can learn new things about their behaviour and lifestyle. The Secretary of State’s Standards of Modern Zoo Practice (SSSMZP)

The goliath frog‚ or conraua goliath‚ is the world’s largest frog. From nose to toes‚ it maxes out at about twelve and a half inches‚ and can weigh just under eight pounds. Unlike most frogs‚ these don’t have the ability to make mating calls‚ and instead create a breeding ground along rivers and streams. The frog is found primarily in Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon‚ at least naturally. A big reason for the goliath frog’s status as endangered is because of the zoo and pet demands. Other significant
