I ke kenekulia 21, lohe pinepine mākou e pili ana i ka haumia o ke kaiapuni e nā mea i hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai nā hale hana, ka hoʻololi o ke aniau, a me ka hoʻomehana honua. Minamina, nui ka poʻe e lilo lohi nei i ko lākou aloha i ke kūlohelohe, no ko mākou honua ʻokoʻa. He hopena maikaʻi ʻole kēia a pau i nā holoholona e noho ana i ko mākou ʻāina. Ua maʻa mākou i ka hoʻolohe ʻana e pili ana i ka make ʻana o kēia a i kēlā ʻano holoholona paha, a pehea e hāʻawi ai nā kānaka koa i ko lākou ola i ka pale ʻana i nā holoholona, e hana ana i nā kūlana no lākou e ola a hānau hou ai.
He mea hoihoi ka hōʻike ʻana o ka zoo mua ʻekolu kaukani makahiki i hala. Ua hana ʻia e ka Emepera Kina a kapa ʻia ʻo "Park for the curious"; kona wahi he 607 hectares. Ua ʻokoʻa ke kūlana i kēia manawa. ʻO ka puke "Zoos in the 21st Century" e hoʻomaopopo ai ʻaʻohe wahi pili ʻole ma ka honua a ʻo nā mālama kūlohelohe nā mokupuni wale nō, no nā mea he nui, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke mahalo i ka honua o nā holoholona lōhiu.
Me he mea lā ua hilinaʻi mākou āpau i nā pōmaikaʻi o nā zoo a me nā mālama, akā, eia nō naʻe, ke kumu o kēia kumuhana i kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa ma waena o nā loea. Hoʻomaopopo kekahi i ka mālama ʻana o nā zoo i nā ʻano holoholona o ka holoholona. Kū'ē kekahi i ka hoʻopaʻahao ʻia o nā holoholona i nā kūlana ʻē iā lākou. Eia nō naʻe nā ʻimi noiʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka mea mua, hoʻomaopopo lākou i ke kipa ʻana i nā zoo kōkua i ka poʻe aloha i nā holoholona a manaʻo he kuleana no ko lākou ola. Minamina, ʻo ka loli ke ʻano weliweli liʻiliʻi loa i nā holoholona lōhiu, ʻoiai hiki i nā holoholona ke hoʻololi i ka loli. ʻO ka lawaiʻa kahi mea aloha ʻole, mea kaua hewa. Ke ulu nei ka lehulehu o ka honua, ke kūkulu nei i nā wahi hou o ka honua; haʻalele ke kanaka i nā wahi kūlohelohe a liʻiliʻi hoʻi o nā holoholona. Loaʻa kahi mana pūnaewele o ka Red Book ma ka Pūnaewele a hiki i nā mea āpau ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā lākou iho me ka haʻalele ʻole i ka home.
E nā Makua Aloha! E ʻoluʻolu e kipa pinepine i nā mālama kūlohelohe me nā keiki, e hele i nā zoo a me nā aquarium. E aʻo i kāu poʻe keiki e aloha i nā holoholona, e aʻo iā lākou e kuleana no kā lākou hana. A laila, malia, nā mokupuni aloha no nā mea ola āpau i ka puʻuwai o nā hanauna e hiki mai ana e waiho i kēia ao ʻino.
