breeding programs for endangered species

Not only filming attracted attention in the zoo. There are also remarkable developments in animal breeding. On February 6, Djehuti, lovingly called Judy, traveled from Erfurt to the all -weather zoo Münster. The reason? She should tackle sambesi there with the hangover. The goal: Judy is supposed to return and thus become part of the European conservation breeding program (EEP). This is to ensure that the cheetah population remains stable.

Originally, a hangover from Rostock was intended as a breeding partner, but the pairing was not as planned. Sambesi, an experienced hangover, got involved with the rolling Judy. Female cheetahs are only ready for mating once a month, and the time window was used optimally: multiple pairings brought hopes for the great offspring. The indoor and outdoor facilities in the Erfurt zoo are already prepared for a possible birth, including litter boxes. The results of this exciting journey are expected in mid -August and could bring new wind to the zoo. zoo-erfurt.de informs about…

The role of zoos in biodiversity

What makes the breeding programs so important in zoos? A look at the story shows that Zoos has increasingly take responsibility since the 1970s. In 1975 the "Convention for International Trade with Endangered Species" came into force, which meant that Zoos were no longer allowed to import wild animals to a large extent. Instead, they had to take care of the offspring themselves. Europe -wide breeding programs entered the spotlight here. These aim to maintain species and promote genetic diversity. Planet-Wissen.de has exciting information ...

The challenges are great: loss of living space, poaching and the fragmentation of animal populations represent considerable threats. However, the cooperation between zoos, nature conservation organizations and governments is made an important contribution in order to keep the veterinary stands healthy. The European conservation breeding program has established itself as a decisive measure to protect and maintain the endangered species in the long term. From species -appropriate attitude to continuous research - the tasks of the zoos are extensive and important.

Clear, the Erfurt Zoo takes its responsibility seriously and with its programs creates a hopeful future for the animals. Whether through exciting filming or future -oriented breeding initiatives - it remains fascinating what the wildlife has to offer.
