Achieving true sustainability of zoo populations.

Zoo biology - 1 Jan 2000

Lacy Robert C

Abstract excerpt

For the last 30 years, cooperative management of irreplaceable animal populations in zoos and aquariums has focused primarily on the goal of minimizing genetic decay within defined time frames, and large advances have been made in technologies to optimize genetic management of closed populations. However, recent analyses have shown that most zoo programs are not projected to meet their stated goals. This has been...
