Пожалуйста, помогите перевести.Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:<
In his intensity of outrage about species extinction Durrell was
ahead of his time. The partnership between television and such persuasive
advocates as Durrell, Desmond Morris, David Attenborough
and others has meant an entire revolution in the past 40 years in
the way that animals are perceived. Their presentation in zoos has
changed radically — from spectacles TO BE GAWPED AT, to sources of
information and objects of respect. Durrell was a conservation pioneer,
although the debate about methods of conserving endangered
species continues..>Заранее спасибо
