| Description: Forests are fragmented by roads and logging Small forest fragments lose diversity fastest Starting with large species Fragmentation is one of the prime threats to biodiversity Captive breeding – individuals are bred and raised with the intent of reintroducing them into the wild Zoos and botanical gardens Some reintroductions require international cooperation Whooping cranes in Wood Buffalo Park (Canada) and Gulf coast of Texas (U.S.) Some habitat is so fragmented, a species cannot survive once reintroduced Cloning – a technique to create more individuals and save species from extinction Most biologists agree that these efforts are not adequate to recreate the lost biodiversity Even if cloning can succeed, ample habitat and protection in the wild are needed to save species Picture Stats: Views: 234 Filesize: 123.36kB Height: 954 Width: 508 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=35776 |
