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.
