Small isolated populations suffer genetic and demographic decline
#00346
Very small and isolated animal populations lose genetic diversity and breeding opportunities, making chance events, skewed sex ratios and inbreeding more likely to prevent recovery.
#00358Coordinate conservation breeding, genetic management and biobanking
Manage conservation breeding, pedigrees, genetic material and institutional roles as one recovery program that preserves options for viable wild populations.
#00359Head-start, translocate or reintroduce animals into secured habitat
Raise or move threatened animals under a documented conservation plan, then release them into habitat where the original threats are controlled and outcomes can be monitored.
#00360Evaluate reproductive biotechnology under scientific and welfare controls
Test assisted reproduction and cryobiology for threatened species through staged, independently reviewed programs that protect animal welfare and support a defined recovery objective.
