These categories are designed to indicate the role or statusof a taxon in the regional collection, whether regionally coordinated management is beingapplied, and if so at what intensity.(1a indicates high intensity genetic and demographic management aimed at maximising genediversity, minimising inbreeding and controlling reproductive rate (Appendix 3); 1b indicateslow intensity genetic and demographic management aimed at minimising inbreeding andmanaging population size; 2 denotes group-level, lower-intensity management and is appliedwhere specimen-level manipulation of mating choices is impractical; and 3 indicates that thecensus of current and planned holdings for the region is published in the annual RegionalCensus and Plan).(CP - Conservation Program; PMP – Population Management Program; HR – HusbandryResearch; NRP – No Regional Program; NE – Not Evaluated; PO – Phase Out).Adelaide ZooNB: The chart shows 0% for ‘PMP2’ and ‘CP3’– this is a result of rounding as there is a single species managedthrough ASMP at this level.Monarto Zoo%1 HR31 PO12 PO33 CP1a0 CP38 PMP1a8 PMP1b0 PMP211 NE366 NRP3%9 CP1a2 CP22 CP327 PMP1a7 PMP1b2 PMP25 NE346 NRP3Status of Animal Collections - 7 of 10
