Detailed explanation-1: -There are many positive success stories to the single species conservation approach, for example, the Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) dwindled to near extinction with just 30 individuals left in the wild, primarily due to habitat fragmentation.
Detailed explanation-2: -In ecology, an endemic species refers to a species that is native to where it is found. A species can be endemic to a particular small geographical area, such as a single island, or to a larger area, such as a continent. If it is found elsewhere, then, endemic is not the word to describe it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Captive breeding. The process of breeding and raising organisms in controlled conditions.
Detailed explanation-4: -Extirpation (also known as ‘local extinction’) describes the situation in which a species or population no longer exists within a certain geographical location.
