These animals went extinct in the wild. Scientists brought them back

Whether from hunting, loss of habitat, climate change, or all three, these animals went extinct in the wild -- but reintroduction programs are restoring them to their natural habitats.
All of them went extinct in the wild -- and all of them came back, thanks to reintroduction programs. Conservation scientists use translocation and captive breeding to re-establish animal populations that have died out in the wild -- either entirely or in certain areas. Reintroducing extinct-in-the-wild animals to their native territories can be a double win: helping to restore degraded ecosystems, as well as increasing population numbers.More Related News
