40 minutes, 250 words at least.

Answer:

Zoos, which are an artificially created environment, provide shelter to the animals when humans are (pronoun their needs a plural noun) is continuously destroying natural resources especially forest lands in order to fulfill their own needs. Some people opine that zoos are functionless as they do not provide any benefit to the society. I completely disagree with this view because zoos play a crucial role in conservation of wild life and in proliferation of economy of the nation. (1)

1. Note that you’ve expressed conservation of wildlife in the opening sentence of the introduction. In fact, the opening sentence seems to be an explanation of ‘conservation of wildlife’. This has made the introduction too long. Avoid repetition of ideas. A zoo, which is an artificially created environment, provides shelter to animals. Some people …..

Using both will reduce your LR score as it reflects lack of understanding about word usage.) to generate revenue through tourism. Being a reflection of the wildlife of a nation, (An excellent modifier.) a zoo attracts a large number of tourists not only from local areas but also from foreign countries. As a result, governments can earn revenue in the form of foreign currency, which can be used for the development of the nation. To exemplify, The Hindustan times has recently published the popularity of the National Zoological Park, Delhi, as it generated at revenue of five lakhs in 2017.

In conclusion, animals are the an important part of the ecosystem and a zoo provide habitat to them. Therefore their usefulness cannot be overlooked.
