Etymology

The term 'vivarium' comes from the Latin word 'vivere', which means 'to live'. The word was first used in the mid-19th century to describe an environment for living organisms, such as plants and animals, that allows for their growth and study in a controlled setting. Historically, vivaria have been important in scientific research, enabling scientists to observe natural behaviors and interactions in a setting that mimics the wild. The concept has evolved over time, while still maintaining its core purpose of providing a space for the study and preservation of biodiversity.
