Master Planning
of Zoos
One single zoo cannot take upon itself, task of planned breeding of a particular species
Reasons
1 Founder animals required and the minimum viable population required is quite
high. Single zoo will not have space to accommodate all the animals. (founder
animals required- 20 for a MVP of 250).
2 Problem in coordinated action among zoos.
3. Continuity in management and non-availability of technical support staff.
Not every zoo can afford to have a fully functional institution on its grounds to
initiate conservation breeding; thus, the need for partnerships between zoos and
universities / other scientific institutions.
