Genuine question about Asian Elephants being born into Blackpool Zoo
Bear with me, I’m a curious student😭
So Blackpool zoo just announced that they have two Asian elephants who are pregnant. I know that their current population count is around 30,000 on the endangered species list. I’m curious as to y’all’s thoughts about these animals being born into captivity, especially a zoo. I am not too familiar with Blackpool’s zoo and how they function, but I feel pretty split by this. I’ve read that Asian elephants are important for ecological balance and grazing, so I know they have a high ecological value (which my professor would argue lol) but I guess I’m just curious about the “conservation” efforts over this animal when there are still around 30,000, especially when these efforts are made in a zoo.

What organization(s) should I direct people to in a call to action
Hello there! I am currently taking an AP art class, and, for my portfolio, I have decided to create infographics of various endangered animals. I plan to include the sources I used as well as somewhere to send people under each infographic. However, I am unsure of which site(s) to use. I would prefer to use one so that they are more uniform, but I'm not sure if it would be better to have multiple catered to each animal. Any suggestions?
