世界动物园和水族馆协会与国家和地区动物园和水族馆协会合作进行的一项调查显示，全世界每年有7亿多人参观动物园和水族馆，因此有可能接触到环境教育。此外，据报道，世界动物园和水族馆社区每年在野生动物保护上花费约3.5亿美元。因此，世界动物园和水族馆社区有潜力在环境教育和野生动物保护方面发挥重要作用。鼓励进行系统评价，以进一步证明动物园和水族馆作为教育和保护中心的有效性。Zoo Biol 30：566-569，2011. (C)2010 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
A survey conducted by the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, in collaboration with national and regional zoo and aquarium associations, showed that annually more than 700million people visit zoos and aquariums worldwide and are thus potentially exposed to environmental education. Furthermore, the world zoo and aquarium community reportedly spends about US$350million on wildlife conservation each year. Therefore, the world zoo and aquarium community has the potential to play an important role in both environmental education and wildlife conservation. Systematic reviews are encouraged to provide further evidence for the effectiveness of zoos and aquariums as centers of education and conservation. Zoo Biol 30:566-569, 2011.
