Detailed explanation-1: -Captive breeding is the process of breeding animals outside of their natural environment under controlled conditions in farms, zoos, or other closed facilities. Humans control the selection of individual animals that will be part of a captive breeding population, as well as the mating partners within that population.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -For example, the black-footed ferret and California condor are species that have been successfully bred in captivity because wild populations had very few individuals remaining and the species was near extinction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Breeding helps to increase the size of a threatened species population-and captive breeding provides our animals with a safe space to breed and allows young animals to become strong and resilient, before we release them into the wild.

Detailed explanation-5: -The captive breeding is one aspect of species conservation efforts, which involve breed animals of an endangered species in captivity with the goal of releasing them back into the wild at some time in the future. The captive breeding of endangered wildlife animals is often necessary for their conservation.
