Information on how capture breeding is an important tool to sustain biodiversity
Dear student.
Endangered plants and animals can be conserved outside their natural habitats through captive breeding programmes. For example-animals can be taken care of in zoos, plants in botanical gardens and fishes and aquatic animals in aquaria.when the number of species increases sufficiently outside their natural habitat, they are then reintroduced into the wild.This helps in maintaining biodiversity.
Captive breeding provides a means for conserving species that may not survive in the wild. Breeding programmes will be designed in such a way that it maintain a healthy, self-sustaining, genetically diverse, as well as demographically stable population of captive animals.
Regards.
