Verified by ExpertsC
Captive breeding involves raising a small number of individuals in controlled conditions to increase population size and eventually reintroduce them into the wild.
Other options:
- Cross breeding – mixing different breeds/species, not ideal for restoring wild populations.
- Interbreeding – mating within a population; may not help if numbers are very low.
- Selective breeding – choosing individuals for desired traits, mainly for agriculture/domestication
