		The research now underway and planned by Zoo Atlanta scientists, and scientists at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is varied, including studies of breeding season behavior, the effects of environmental variables, the effects of positive reinforcement, and the collection of medical data.
		The focus of much of the panda research conducted by Zoo Atlanta researchers in Chengdu thus far is on reproductive behavior and mother-cub behavior, because pandas have historically not bred well in captivity.
		For example, Zoo Atlanta’s consulting dentist Dr. Laura Braswell has been taking data on the status of the animals' teeth and gums during their annual physical exams over a period of about 10 years, and has obtained similar data from some other zoos.

		Zoo architecture is now soft and naturalistic, and both the quality and the quantity of space is regarded as germane to the well-being of zoo animals and zoo visitors.
		Modern zoos recognize their obligation to educate their visitors, and they promote the idea that wild animals and wild places must be protected for future generations to enjoy and understand.
		Atlanta's innovative gorilla exhibit, five contiguous habitats on 4.5 acres of hillside woodlands, was based on the ideas of comparative and environmental psychologists.

		"Zoos by their very existence are part of the struggle to save nature, and any zoo that doesn't take on that struggle, any zoo that doesn't get involved, doesn't deserve to survive because there's no moral justification for what we do if we aren't connecting to the whole.

	New Zoo Ideas
		Zoos have changed from their historic goals of entertainment to new goals in conservation and public education explained Dr. Jean Wineman, associate professor of architecture at Georgia Tech.
		In some cases, overall zoo strategies such as natural "landscape immersion" exhibits and the use of technology to provide information, may be at odds with the goals of educating children.
		Zoo Atlanta Director Dr. Terry Maple, who is also a psychology professor at Tech, said the project's recommendations will help Atlanta's planners design "a children's zoo unlike any other you have seen." The work will also foster university research relationships he believes will make Zoo Atlanta a leader in scientific study.
