  • Once taxonomic issues have been resolved, what is the first priority of any management plan to conserve a critically endangered and small population?

    To increase the number of N (het aantal dieren)
  • Mention at least 4 advantages of startig and maintaining a captive breeding program for conservation reasons.

    1. better resources in zoos;
    2. education for public;
    3. control which individuals breed;
    4. to increase the number of N for reintroduction
  • Mention at least 4 disadvantages of starting and maintaining a captive breeding program for conservation reasons

    1. the population can adapt to the captive situation, which make them less suitabel for reintroduction;
    2. bad husbandry/resources in the zoo;
    3. unique alleles may be lost;
    4. some species hardly breed in capticity
  • Why is it important to avoid loss of genetic diversity when habitat loss is a major threat to a species?

    The species need s the genetic diversity to adapt to the environment.
