Just going to share some of my favourite writings about zoos, conservation, how animal rights are tied to human rights and social justice in this thread.
"A few miles north of San Diego, scientists are gathering up specimens of every living thing to save the planet from an unstoppable predator: us" (A fine look into the supremely advanced science and prescient art of conservation from professionals.) https://www.gq.com/story/inside-the-frozen-zoo-that-could-bring-extinct-animals-back-to-life
"As a species (we) have outgrown the need to keep such wild, enormous, complex, intelligent, & free-ranging animals in captivity, where their behavior is not only unnatural; it can become pathological."

Since it is cold now, a brief look (from me) into the brutal and exploitative trade of "shahtoosh" shawls. The trade doesn't just hurt endangered antelopes, it also affects master weavers of Kashmir. https://tribune.com.pk/story/667422/shahtoosh-vanity-quite-unfair
