What does conservation of animal species mean?

Protecting and managing animals and their habitats so they do not die out.

A species with very low numbers that faces a high risk of extinction.

Planned breeding of endangered animals in zoos or wildlife parks to raise their numbers.

They keep family records and swap animals between zoos so unrelated animals mate.

Releasing captive-bred animals back into the wild to rebuild wild populations.

Animals may lack survival skills, or there may be too little safe habitat.

Land or sea set aside, like a nature reserve, where habitats and animals are safeguarded.

They can ban hunting or trade, set quotas and seasons, and protect key habitats.

A global agreement that controls trade in endangered species to help stop extinction.

It is the variety of genes in a population; high variety helps species cope with change and disease.

A link between habitats that lets animals move and breed, keeping populations healthy.

It tracks numbers and breeding success, so plans can be changed if they are not working.
