captivity breeding

Captivity breeding is a conservation method where animals are bred and raised in controlled environments, such as zoos or breeding centers, rather than in the wild. The goal is to help species survive declining populations, prevent extinction, and sometimes restore animals to their natural habitats. This process involves carefully managing health, genetics, and social interactions to ensure healthy offspring and maintain genetic diversity. While it plays a crucial role in conservation, it’s complemented by efforts to protect natural habitats and address root causes of decline.
