Airs Wed., Oct. 16, 6 p.m. Zoos are fun places to go to learn about animals from all over the world. But did you know that zoos are also heavily engaged in conservation? Join us tonight at 6 p.m. on Conserving Earth for a behind-the-scenes look at what zoos do to conserve wildlife, both in the United States and around the world. Ben Jones, Vice President for Conservation and Education at the Houston Zoo, tells about pygmy elephants in Asia (they’re still pretty big!), tamarins in South America, breeding Houston toads, prairie chickens close to home, and a host of other wildlife and special programs.
