This section contains the IUCN Policy Statements on captive breeding and research on endangered species. According to the CBSG policy, habitat protection alone is not sufficient if the expressed goal of the World Conservation Strategy, the maintenance of biotic diversity, is to be achieved. Establishment of self-sustaining captive populations and other supportive intervention will be needed to avoid the loss of many species, especially those at high risk in greatly reduced, highly fragmented, and disturbed habitats. Captive breeding programmes need to be coordinated internationally according to sound biological principles, with a view to the maintaining or reestablishment of viable populations in the wild. This documents further contains draft guidelines for reintroduction programmes and the disposal of confiscated animals. |
