	Satya July 00: Editorial by Catherine Clyne
		Opponents of zoos argue that no matter which way you look at it, the fact remains that zoo animals are incarcerated—against their will—and such an existence is not justifiable.
		The modern zoo is a continuation of this legacy of imperialism, established by the British empire to amuse the public and to symbolize world domination.
		Zoos aren’t going anywhere soon, but our animals, environment and fellow people are, and we can choose to use the means that are available to work to change the situation for the better.

		Experts, including gorilla keepers, curators, zoo directors, researchers, etc. from around the world, expressed their concern for the welfare of gorillas in Japan, given the tragedies of Biju's death and Genki's suffering, and the contrasting statements made by Ueno Zoo officials in explaining these situations to the public.
		Biju's legacy may live on, since the zoo has informed the public that one of th females he mated with is now pregnant *.This news was reported on TV as if the pregnancy was proof that their techniques were correct and working well.

		Zoos have tremendous potential as conservation organisations, but they need to collect, present, analyse and publish more data on their work, and they need to work more closely with universities and other partners in order to do this to maximum effectiveness.
		Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, Japan's oldest (opened 1882), comes next (90 species and 370 specimens), followed by Okinawa-Kodomonokuni Zoo and Aquarium (86 species and 599 specimens) in Okinawa Prefecture and Higashiyama Zoological and Botanical Gardens (74 species and 325 specimens) in Nagoya.
		Considering that there were 99 zoos and 70 aquariums, or a total of 169 JAZGA member institutions, in the country during that year, the figures may appear surprisingly low in the eyes of European and American zoo officials.
