Man is considered as the most dangerous predator on Earth because his actions can send many animals into extinction. The likes of the Zoological Society of San Diego works toward bringing man and animals closer in harmony, thus, ensuring that the Earth's diversity becomes more varied - or at least, remain at its present level (i.e., significant reduction in the extinction rate).

The Zoological Society of San Diego, a non-profit organization, has one of the world's largest memberships of any society of its kind - more than 250,000 member households and 130,000 members among children, thus, representing over half-a-million members. The benefits of membership are many, such as free admission to the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, both of which are operated by the society including the Institute for Conservation Research; subscription to ZOONOOZ, the monthly magazine; and access to educational programs.
