ZOO
The
modern
zoo
is
a
center
for
the
creation
of
collections
of
rare
and
endangered
animal
species
included
in
the
International
and
Republican
Red
Data
Books,
their
artificial
breeding
and
familiarization
of
the
population
with
the
fauna
of
the
Republic
and
the
World.
In

it
is
a

educational
and
research
institution

the
conservation,
breeding
and
reintroduction
of
rare
and
valuable
species
of

The
Tashkent

organized
in
1924
at
the
initiative
of
zoological
scientists
of
the
Central
Asian
University.
By
the
end
of
the
40s,
the
Tashkent
Zoo,
formed
and
with
an
exposition
of
about
200
species,
took
a
direct
part
in
organizing
a
network
of
zoos
in
Central
Asia
-
Kazakhstan,
Turkmenistan,
and
Tajikistan.
Since
the
80s,
the
initiative
group
of
the
old
zoo
began
a
long-term
work
in
search
of
new
spacious
territories
within
the
city
and
permission
to
obtain
them.
However,
it
should
be
noted
that
the
small
zoo
continued
to
live
its
large,
fulfilling
life.
The
old
expositions
were
reconstructed
and
repaired,
the
collection
of
animals,
rich
in
species,
was
preserved
and,
as
far
as
possible,
grew.
Thousands
of
citizens,
residents
and
guests
of
Uzbekistan
enjoyed
visiting
a
small
corner
of
wildlife
in
the
city
center.
But
the
most
important
achievement
of
the
old
zoo
was
the
training
of
professional
staff
to
work
with
exotic
animals.
Despite
the
cramped
areas,
modest
mud
brick
premises
and
other
shortcomings,
many
species
of
animals
reproduced
well
in
the
zoo.
The
special
pride
of
the
Tashkent
Zoo
was
the
breeding
of
Andean
condors,
for
the
first
time
in
the
world
history
of
zoos.
In
1992,
the
territory
of
the
Tashkent
Zoo
was
10.7
hectares,
the
number
of
animal
expositions
totaled
more
than
270
species.
