Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Captive breeding programs, also known as conservation breeding programs, enable zoos to exhibit many species of animals without capturing new individuals from the wild.
Detailed explanation-2: -Background Information. 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-3: -Captive breeding is normally used to provide individuals which can then be released into the wild (often called ‘reintroduction’) to either re-establish a population that has been lost, or to augment an existing population (’restocking’).
