This is a proposal for a multi-faceted STS study by an interdisciplinary research team to explore the conservation mission of zoos and aquariums focusing on the evolution of the shifting responsibilities of these institutions to animals and to conservation. The team will engage in an ambitious and integrated program of research, conferences, public events, and the development of teaching materials focused on the complex, contested, and changing roles of zoos and aquaria in society.There is a dual emphasis on engaging the scientific/professional community and the general public, which not only enables the integration of diverse viewpoints, but also serves as a mechanism for increasing public awareness of the goals, tactics, and challenges of zoo conservation. With regards to the public component, the researchers plan to have a broad impact in two distinct ways; the events will take place in different geographic regions (Arizona, New York), and there will be a virtual public exhibit that will be accessible worldwide.

这是一个跨学科研究团队提出的多方面 STS 研究提案，旨在探索动物园和水族馆的保护使命，重点关注这些机构对动物和保护责任转变的演变。该团队将参与一项雄心勃勃的综合计划，包括研究、会议、公共活动和教材开发，重点关注动物园和水族馆在社会中复杂、有争议和不断变化的角色。双重强调科学/专业界和公众的参与，这不仅能够整合不同的观点，而且可以作为提高公众对动物园和水族馆的目标、策略和挑战的认识的机制。 动物园保护。关于公共部分，研究人员计划以两种不同的方式产生广泛的影响：这些活动将在不同的地理区域（亚利桑那州、纽约）举行，并且将有一个虚拟的公共展览，全世界都可以访问。
