European Endangered Species Programme (EEP)

The European Endangered Species Programme (EEP) is a collaborative effort among zoos and wildlife organizations across Europe to conserve and protect endangered animal species. Its goal is to maintain healthy, genetically diverse populations in captivity, which can support research, education, and potential future reintroduction into the wild. The EEP involves careful planning, breeding, and management of animal populations to ensure their survival. By working together, these institutions enhance the chances of preserving species at risk of extinction, contributing to global conservation efforts through scientific knowledge and responsible stewardship.
