Zoos of the future [Design Zoos]

The magazine article discusses on what the future zoo will be. According to a group of zoo professionals and researchers at an international conference, zoos of the future will be high-tech affairs. Robots will replace animals, zoos will design Jurassic Park-style open habitats where people are caged and animals roam. The Natural History Museum and ZSL have collected thousands of DNA samples from endangered animals. Conservationists hope that, in the future, advances in cloning technology will mean these creatures can be brought back should they ever disappear.
