I saw this question and its the best one I've seen all day!
Ok so a major problem is that if they don't do it when the animal is young, its already adapted to people giving it its necessities and when it goes into the wild, they have to start taking care of themselves which will eventually lead to death. Once an animal is in captivity long enough there is no hope for that creature but that when they will release it, hope that it finds a mate who will take care of it (extreamly rare but still possible) so that they can continue on a chain.
I don't know if you had this in mind but on topic of endangered animals that only live in captivity now, they will never be able to adapt to the wild again because over time their natural instincts will dull from being constantly taken care of.
I also love the fact that its non biased and gives me a lot to work with.
What else can I help you with?

When will the bilby captive breeding program at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary be ready?
As of mid-2013, there is still no sign of a bilby captive breeding program in place at Currumbin.
How do captive breeding programs affect genetic diversity?
Captive breeding programs can affect genetic diversity in one of two ways. Within the program itself, genetic diversity is reduced, because captive breeding programs only have a limited number of animals to work with. On the other hand, animals from a captive breeding program that are re-introduced to the wild can increase genetic diversity, because they are bringing genes that may have been gone for a long time back into the gene pool.
What species was saved from extinction using captive breeding?
The California condor is a notable species saved from extinction through captive breeding efforts. In the 1980s, the population dwindled to just 27 individuals due to habitat loss and lead poisoning. Conservationists initiated a captive breeding program, and through dedicated efforts, the population has since increased to over 500 birds, with many now living in the wild. This success story highlights the effectiveness of captive breeding in wildlife conservation.
What are the disadvantages of captive breeding?
Captive breeding can lead to a loss of genetic diversity, as breeding often involves a limited number of individuals, which can result in inbreeding and reduced adaptability to changing environments. Additionally, animals raised in captivity may lack the necessary survival skills for life in the wild, making reintroduction efforts challenging. Furthermore, captive breeding programs can divert resources and attention away from habitat conservation, which is crucial for long-term species survival.
What is a captive breeding?
Captive breeding is when a zoo or wildlife preserve will breed endangered animals or non endangered to help them survive.

Are hyenas in the captive breeding program?
Yes, hyenas are sometimes included in captive breeding programs, particularly in conservation efforts aimed at preserving endangered species and maintaining genetic diversity. These programs may focus on species such as the spotted hyena, which are subject to habitat loss and poaching. Captive breeding can help mitigate population decline and facilitate reintroduction into their natural habitats. However, the specifics can vary by region and organization.

Are there any captive breeding programs for the Tasmanian Devil?
Yes, there are many captive breeding programs to help save the Tasmanian devil. Scientists are breeding Tasmanian Devils in captivity to limit the spread of the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD). This disease is a great threat to Tasmanian devils living in the wild, affecting some two-thirds of the population. The Australian Government now has initiatives and programs set up to preserve the species. Tasmanian devils are being housed in captive breeding programmes, which should prevent the extinction of the marsupial, but not necessarily in the wild. There is a nation-wide Captive Breeding Program (CBP) called the 'Insurance Population' which is managed by the Zoological and Aquariums Association (ZAA) in coordination with the Tasmanian Governments 'Save the Tasmanian Devil Program' (STTDP).
How many Luzon Peacock Swallowtail are left?
There needs to be a captive breeding program of this species,ive not been able to find info on what its plant of choice is,but im sure the ruteacae family is worth trying as a captive breeding attempt
