Saving the supermarket of the sea

Article Abstract:

The Patagonian continental shelf, off the coast of Argentina is an important source of food for may marine animals. Parts of the Patagonian coasts where animals breed are protected but their feeding sites are not. There is a need to establish marine protected areas because some unsustainable fisheries affect feeding areas by overfishing and accidental catch of non-target species.

Centennial perspective

Article Abstract:

The New York Zoological Society has helped countries to protect and preserve wildlife for the past 100 years by conducting expeditions, research, educational programs in schools and colleges, constructing hospitals, aquariums and zoos. The society has changed the attitude of people toward animals and thus helped in conservation of rare species.
