ABSTRACT: In the course of this work which is the impact of zoological garden in schools, the
questionnaire interviewed was used in the collection of data. Based on the
finding it was observed that people visit zoological gardens for different purposes like educational,
recreational, research, economic and cultural values. Also the chi-square (X2) is used in this research to show if there is
significant difference or not. Result indicated that people from various works
of life visited the zoo. Some recommendations were also made for further
studies as well as the opposition of establishment of a zoo. Thus, the
objectives of the this work are to identify the conservation areas in which
zoos make a contribution, to develop understanding and support of the
conservation potentials of zoos, to convince local zoos and conservation
agencies that they can make important contributions to conservation, to help
zoos formulate conservation priorities and policies and finally, to promote
action of individual zoos by participation in the global zoo and other
conservation network.
