Sanctuaries play a key role in protecting and rehabilitating exotic and endangered animals, offering a safe environment for those rescued from dangerous situations, such as illegal wildlife trade or habitat loss. These facilities focus on providing medical care, emotional recovery, and, in some cases, preparing animals for reintroduction into the wild. Sanctuaries also contribute to conservation through breeding programs that help preserve genetic diversity. Additionally, they serve as educational centers, raising public awareness about the importance of wildlife protection and conservation efforts.
