Animals don´t belong in zoos. While living abroad I visited dozens of zoos in Europe. No matter how much scientific efforts is made in them in order to preserve species... In front of those individuals, my heart wept every time. It is their natural environments which should be kept in safe.

At the time when I made this piece, I used freshwater pearls as symbol of pain because of the way how they are manufactured. Nowadays I no longer use them, for I don´t think it is right/ justified to support that industry, not even in the name of awareness, art...

"Reservates"

Nature reservates like national parks are important, but they should never be the only places for wildlife to exist. So many species have a natural need to wander in huge areas. Some animals also need a large territory not only because of the amount of specific food source, but also because of their natural behaviour towards each other. Too small group of individuals also have a small variation in gene pool, which will easily affect negatively in the health of the species sooner or later. Isolation is often dangerous. We should make sure, that there will be enough of natural environment for wildlife.
