Species Management & Recovery Programs
Basics
Goal Description
The goal of Species Management & Recovery Programs is driven by the pressing need to address population declines and threats faced by threatened or endangered species. Species worldwide are experiencing declines due to various factors such as habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and increased susceptibility to diseases. Moreover, genetic bottlenecks and inbreeding can further exacerbate population declines, leading to reduced genetic diversity and resilience. As a result, these programs are essential for mitigating the impacts of these threats and restoring populations to healthy and sustainable levels. By implementing interventions such as reintroduction programs, genetic management, disease management, assisted migration, and habitat restoration, these programs aim to reverse population declines and restore ecological balance. Additionally, they play a crucial role in preserving genetic diversity, which is essential for the long-term survival and adaptability of species in changing environments. Overall, Species Management & Recovery Programs are vital for conserving biodiversity, preventing extinction, and ensuring the health and resilience of ecosystems worldwide.
