Zoos in Great Britain are required to do an annual census. Identifying every animal is useful for monitoring conservation efforts. Animal conservation is an important element of a zookeeper's job. Since many species are threatened or extinct in the wild, zoos need to maintain those populations. Breeding programs help accomplish this, and conducting a census tells zoo officials whether these programs are working. Keepers at the London Zoo tally its more than 650 species. Some of the counts are easy. There is only one giraffe, for example. Zookeepers have found that counting the 612 cockroaches, however, is a bit harder.
