Every day, passionate Adelaide and Monarto Zoo staff care for animals and fight to safeguard this planet’s amazing wildlife for future generations.
We’re not going to deny that zoos started as places purely for entertainment, but as society has evolved, so too has the role of a modern zoo.
Today, good zoos are local and global conservation agencies. The reality is, we are losing wildlife at the highest rate since the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. As species extinction accelerates, zoos are becoming increasingly necessary.
If you ask anyone who works in a zoo, many of us would say: “we wish zoos didn’t exist!”
If we didn’t need zoos, it would mean people were connecting with nature in a positive way.

It would mean we wouldn’t have to have populations of animals in human care as an insurance against wild extinction and it would mean animals would not just be surviving, but thriving in the wild.
But as the human population expands and habitats around the world are destroyed, for many species, there’s rarely an alternative.

Our conservation successes speak for themselves.
Zoos SA has bred more than 15 species for re-release into the wild in SA, nationally and internationally, including, Greater Bilbies, Western Swamp Tortoises, Yellow-footed Rock-wallabies, Orange-bellied Parrots, Regent Honeyeaters, Stick-nest Rats and the Przewalski’s Horse.
We are one of a very small number of zoos to have brought a species back from extinction in the wild, re-establishing a wild population of South Australian Mainland Tammar Wallabies at Innes National Park in the Yorke Peninsula after they were classified as extinct in the 1930s.
In a world-first for conservation, last year Monarto Zoo successfully bred 14 Pygmy Blue-tongue Lizards, a species once thought to be extinct and never before bred in captivity. These are just a few examples of how our work is saving endangered species from extinction.

And let’s not forget the power of a simple zoo visit.
Here at Zoos SA, our mission is to connect people with nature and save species from extinction.
We believe these two actions are mutually dependent on each other.
When a person has the opportunity to see or engage with an animal, they develop a greater relationship with and understanding of that animal and in turn are more likely to take action to help with the conservation of their wild cousins.

A painting by Renoir is a work of art.Art
Art is a creative activity that expresses imaginative or technical skill. It produces an artifact, also called a work of art, for others to experience. Those who do this are called artists. They hope to affect the emotions of people who experience it. Some people find art relaxing, or exciting, or informative. Many people disagree on how to define art. Some say people are driven to make art due to their inner creativity.
Art includes drawing, painting, sculpting, photography, performance art, dance, music, poetry, prose and theatre.

What "art" means
Some people say that art is a product or item that is made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind, spirit and soul. An artwork is normally judged by how much impact it has on people, the number of people who can relate to it, and how much they appreciate it. Some people also get inspired.
The first and broadest sense of "art" means "arrangement" or "to arrange." In this sense, art is created when someone arranges things found in the world into a new or different design or form; or when someone arranges colors next to each other in a painting to make an image or just to make a pretty or interesting design.
Art may express emotion. Artists may feel a certain emotion and wish to express it by creating something that means something to them. Most of the art created in this case is made for the artist rather than an audience. However, if an audience is able to connect with the emotion as well, then the art work may become publicly successful.

History of art
There are sculptures, cave painting and rock art dating from the Upper Paleolithic era.
All of the great ancient civilizations, such as Ancient Egypt, India, China, Greece, Rome and Persia had works and styles of art. In the Middle Ages, most of the art in Europe showed people from the Bible in paintings, stained glass windows, and mosaic tile floors and walls.
Islamic art includes geometric patterns, Islamic calligraphy, and architecture. In India and Tibet, painted sculptures, dance, and religious painting were done. In China, arts included jade carving, bronze, pottery, poetry, calligraphy, music, painting, drama, and fiction. There are many Chinese artistic styles, which are usually named after the ruling dynasty.
In Europe, after the Middle Ages, there was a "Renaissance" which means "rebirth". People rediscovered science and artists were allowed to paint subjects other than religious subjects. People like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci still painted religious pictures, but they also now could paint mythological pictures too. These artists also invented perspective where things in the distance look smaller in the picture. This was new because in the Middle Ages people would paint all the figures close up and just overlapping each other.
In the late 1800s, artists in Europe, responding to Modernity created many new painting styles such as Classicism, Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism. The history of twentieth century art includes Expressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and Minimalism.

Roles of art
In some societies, people think that art belongs to the person who made it. They think that the artist put his or her "talent" and industry into the art. In this view, the art is the property of the artist, protected by copyright.
In other societies, people think that art belongs to no one. They think that society has put its social capital into the artist and the artist's work. In this view, society is a collective that has made the art, through the artist.
Functions of art
The functions of art include:[1]
1) Cognitive function
Works of art let us know about what the author knew, and about what the surrounding of the author were like.
2) Aesthetic function
Works of art are more or less harmonic and bring pleasure, a sensation of beauty.
3) Prognostic function
Some artists draw what they see the future like, and some of them are right, but most are not...
4) Recreation function
Art makes us think about it, not about reality; we have a rest.
5) Value function
What did the artist value? What aims did he like/dislike in human activity? This usually is clearly seen in artists' works.
6) Didactic function
What message, criticism or political change did the artist wish to achieve?
