There are many strategies that can be used to conserve endangered species, both in the wild and in captivity. In the wild, conservation efforts may involve protecting and restoring habitats, reducing human-caused threats, and monitoring and researching the species. Captive breeding programs, in which animals are bred and cared for in zoos or other facilities, can help to increase the population size and genetic diversity of an endangered species. Some other conservation strategies include education and awareness campaigns, eco-tourism, and sustainable use of natural resources.
