One way that zoos and aquariums help increase wildlife populations is through
A
captive breeding programs.
B
international biodiversity treaties.
C
conservation concessions.
D
wildlife corridors.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Captive breeding improves animal living conditions. Zoos and public aquariums educate visitors about species conservation and protection. Captive breeding educates people about animals and their natural habitats, and it frequently generates funds for research and protection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Modern zoos and aquariums help combat these problems. Breeding programs help preserve genetic biodiversity and help reintroduce critically endangered species into the wild. Having animals in protection provides a reservoir against a population crash in the wild.

Detailed explanation-3: -Captive-breeding programs breed endangered species in zoos and other facilities to build a healthy population of the animals. Species-survival plans coordinate with zoos around the world to bring species together for breeding that ensures genetic diversity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Captive populations can be used for educational purposes, exhibition of rare or interesting species, research, and for conservation. In conservation situations, zoos use captive breeding as a tool to prevent extinction of a species that cannot survive in the wild, often due to the deterioration of a species’ habitat.
