Conservation breeding is a method used to help protect endangered species by breeding them in controlled environments, such as zoos or wildlife reserves. The goal is to increase the population size and genetic diversity of these species, making it easier to reintroduce them into their natural habitats when conditions improve. This approach often involves careful planning and monitoring to ensure the health and well-being of the animals. Organizations like the World Wildlife Fund and American Zoo and Aquarium Association play crucial roles in coordinating these efforts, helping to maintain genetic diversity and prevent extinction.
