Conservation breeding

Conservation breeding involves carefully managing and breeding animals in captivity to help protect endangered species from extinction. The goal is to maintain healthy populations, preserve genetic diversity, and sometimes reintroduce animals into their natural habitats. This process includes selecting animals with strong genetic traits, providing suitable environments, and managing their health and reproduction. Conservation breeding acts as a safeguard against species loss, supporting long-term survival while research helps improve practices for eventual release into the wild. It plays a crucial role in global efforts to conserve biodiversity and restore threatened ecosystems.
