Zoos are keeping endangered animals in the zoo, to try and help the species by breeding them. If they can get them to reproduce and have healthy offspring that will be able to breed in the future, they are contributing to the species population in general, and the diversity of the gene pool for the species. The hope is that in the long run the species will not be endangered anymore. Also if the species is still endangered, or needs serious conservation work, we might have had time to learn new techniques, and technology to make other advances that can make a major difference in helping maintain the health of the species populations.
