Two ways that wild life biologists working on to save endangered species.

What Is A Wildlife Biologist?

Wildlife biologists study and manage wild animals, their habits, and habitats. Technically wildlife biologists study both wild plants and animals; however, the term is commonly used to refer to those individuals working with wild animals. Wildlife biologists must work with animals, ecosystems, and people to accomplish their objectives.

(1) Captive breeding

Captive breeding is the process of breeding rare or endangered species in human controlled environments with restricted settings, such as wildlife preserves, zoos and other conservation facilities. Captive breeding is meant to save species from going extinct. It is supposed to stabilize the population of the species so it is no longer at risk for disappearing. This technique has been used with success for many species for some time, with probably the oldest known such instances of captive mating being attributed to menageries of European and Asian rulers, a case in point being the Pere David's Deer. However, captive breeding techniques are usually difficult to implement for highly mobile species like some migratory birds (eg. cranes) and fishes (eg. Hilsa). Additionally, if the captive breeding population is too small, inbreeding may occur due to a reduced gene pool; this may lead to the population lacking immunity to diseases.(Wikipedia)

(2) Conservation

This organization had started in 1961. The WWF has worked toward the protection of endangered species. Its mission is to use the best conservation science available and work with people to find solutions to save the marvelous array of life on our planet. WWF’s experience over nearly half a century has shown species conservation is vital — and it does work. Already, conservation efforts have brought many animals back from the brink of extinction. It has helped to not only conserve rich and varied ecosystems but also delivered real benefits to local people through new livelihood opportunities and sustainable development.(WWF)
