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 two examples of species that are success stories brought back from the brink of extinction?
Two examples of species that have been brought back from the brink of extinction are the American bison, which was once hunted to near extinction but has since recovered through conservation efforts, and the California condor, which was down to only 27 individuals but now has a population over 400 thanks to captive breeding programs.
How can white lions be saved from extinction?
white lions can be saved from extinction if people stop hunting them,and they need to have parks for them so they would increase
The endangered species act passed in 1973 has?
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) passed in 1973 is a federal law in the United States that aims to protect and preserve endangered and threatened species and their habitats. It provides guidelines for conserving and recovering species at risk of extinction. The ESA has been instrumental in preventing the extinction of many species and has helped in the recovery of several populations.
Can species bred in captivity be saved from extinction?
Yes, species bred in captivity can contribute to conservation efforts by serving as a genetic reserve or source for reintroductions into the wild. However, successful conservation programs also require habitat protection, addressing threats in the wild, and long-term management strategies to ensure the survival of the species in their natural environment.
Why is captive animal release so hard?
* It focuses on a few, charasmatic endangered species * genetic diversity may have sunk too low to be regenerated * costly, diverts resources from much more cost-effective ecosystem and habitat conservation measures * gives false sense that battle against extinction is being won * what if the habitat no longer exists, or cannot be expected with any confidence to exist in 200 years time. What point then ? * NRE 220 students often react negatively to the degree of handling/intervention associated with captive breeding, and apparently would prefer to see species go extinct. Really?

Will the red wolf species be saved?
we scientists believe that we can save the red species from extinction by making more breeding camps, not allow hunters to shoot the red wolfs making it illegal
Why is saving species from extinction a good thing?
Yes, if you are going to save a species then they might as well be saved from extinction.
Are gorrilas threatened or endangered?
They are both. Endangered means a species is threatened to extinction, and they must be saved.
How can captive breeding contribute to biodiversity and the health of ecosystems?
Captive breeding and subsequent re-introduction of a threatened species is an important and in some cases very successful tool for species conservation. Critics point to the need to conserve/restore habitat, list examples of failures, decry the cost, and argue we should rescue species before they are on the brink of oblivion. Fair enough. But, captive breeding saved the bison. Wolves roam Yellowstone and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the Peregrine Falcon is off the endangered species list, golden-lion tamarins thrive in the Brazilian forests, whooping cranes perform their mating dances along river banks in the west, and many more species might similarly be rescued. Zoos, botanical gardens and aquaria have found new purpose and direction, providing a safety net when other protective measures have failed.
How did the California condor survive its extinction?
Human intervention saved this species. Many were raised in captivity, and now around 400 are back in their former haunts.
How can white lions be saved from extinction?

What is one animal that is almost extinct?
A gorrilla Arabian Oryx. Became extinct in the wild in the early 70's. They were saved by a few Zoos which started a breeding program. They are still on the verge of extinction.

The red wolf has been saved by captive breeding programs. The only viable population, around 110 animals, live in the Alligator River Refuge in eastern North Carolina.
