Advantages
- It can be used to protect individual animals in a controlled environment. This means that issues such as predation and hunting can be monitored and managed more easily.
- It can be used to reintroduce species that have left an area.
|
Disadvantages
- Usually only a small number of individuals can be cared for.
- It can be difficult and expensive to create and sustain the right environment.
- The animals that are habituated (used to) human contact may be less likely to exhibit natural behaviours and may be more likely to catch a disease from humans.
- This type of conservation is usually less successful as many species can't breed successfully in captivity or don't adapt to their new environment when moved to a new location.
