List 10 examples of zoological gardens in Africa. Animal right activists have filed a case in court demanding the collapse of all zoological gardens in the country, citing it is against the rights of the animals to be confined in such an enclosed place instead of being the wild with their counterparts. As a conservationist and ecotourism expert, explain four reasons why their case should be thrown out of court.

Question 1

Part b: 10 physical quantities and their units 1. Length: m (meter) 2. Mass: kg (kilogram) 3. Time: s (second) 4. Electric current: A (ampere) 5. Thermodynamic temperature: K (kelvin) 6. Amount of substance: mol (mole) 7. Luminous intensity: cd (candela) 8. Speed: (m)/(s) (meter per second) 9. Force: N (newton) = kg · (m)/(s^2) 10. Energy: J (joule) = N · m Part c: Two reasons as conservationist and ecologist (2 marks) Reason 1: Zoos participate in ex-situ conservation by breeding endangered species in controlled environments, preventing extinction and reintroducing them to the wild. Reason 2: Zoos educate the public about wildlife, fostering support for in-situ conservation efforts and habitat protection. Part d: Condition “Stereotypy” in animals (2 marks) Stereotypy is repetitive, invariant behaviour patterns with no apparent goal or function, such as pacing or rocking, often developed by zoo animals due to stress or inadequate environments. Part e: Four reasons zoo animals develop stereotypy (4 marks) 1. Small enclosures: Limited space prevents natural movement and foraging. 2. Lack of stimulation: Barren environments without enrichment cause boredom. 3. Social isolation: Separation from social groups disrupts natural behaviours. 4. Unnatural feeding: Predictable schedules remove hunting/foraging challenges. Part a (using rule of four): ii. Dogs (verbal, numerical, etc.) [2 marks] Verbal: Pet dog transmitted measles to monkeys. Numerical: 1 dog mentioned. iii. [assuming animals or lions] [3 marks] Verbal: Lions arrived from Finland; monkeys infected. Numerical: 18 lions. Diagram: [no image, describe zoo layout with central west wall]. Algebraic: Group size = 18.
