How biodiversity could be conserved?

Biodiversity can be protected by: Captive breeding Habitat preservation Laws


How does removing a species from an ecosystem for captive breeding help scientists maintain an ecosystem's biodiversity?

Removing a species for captive breeding helps prevent extinction by establishing a backup population to reintroduce into the wild if needed. This maintains genetic diversity and prevents the loss of important ecological roles within the ecosystem, helping to preserve overall biodiversity.


How do zoos sometime contribute to decreasing biodiversity?

Zoos can contribute to decreasing biodiversity by focusing on a limited number of species for breeding and conservation, often prioritizing charismatic megafauna over less popular or lesser-known species. This can lead to a neglect of ecosystem-level conservation efforts and habitat preservation. Additionally, the resources allocated to maintaining captive populations may divert attention and funding from in-situ conservation initiatives that protect entire ecosystems and their biodiversity. Furthermore, the captive breeding programs can result in genetic bottlenecks if not managed properly, reducing the overall genetic diversity of those species.


What is the release of captive organisms into areas where they once lived?

Reintroduction is the release of captive organisms into areas where they once lived. This is often done to help rebuild populations of endangered or locally extinct species. The goal is to restore ecological balance and support biodiversity in those areas.


Does captive breeding work?

It does with many species, but it can require study and research to determine what the animal requires from their environment, and food. If there are any social triggers involved, or any mating rituals that must be adhered to. Even if they were born in the wild, as apposed to hand reared, can make a difference in whether some animals will mate with others or not. There are so many variables even within a species, that can be the deciding factor of a successful program or not. But overall, with hard work and attention to the animals detail, a breeding program can usually become productive. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
