#small-population-dynamics

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.

Prepare species-specific thresholds, refuges, response roles and recovery actions before fires, droughts, storms, floods or other extremes threaten a small population.

Test assisted reproduction and cryobiology for threatened species through staged, independently reviewed programs that protect animal welfare and support a defined recovery objective.
