To apply basic physiological research efforts and state-of-the-art reproductive technologies toward wildlife species management and conservation |
| • |
Research is performed to gain an understanding of the relationships among reproductive endocrinology, anatomy, behavior and physiological events such as ovulation and parturition. |
| • |
This knowledge is applied to cooperative captive management practices, in collaboration with government and non-government organizations, to facilitate both natural and assisted breeding strategies. |
| • |
Our cooperative management practices enable zoological institutions to maintain maximal genetic diversity and optimal social environments within captive populations. |
| • |
Tools developed through ex situ research on reproductive monitoring and assisted breeding can be integrated into in situ population management and conservation strategies. |
