Strategies for conservation of wildlife and endangered species

       In feeding and laboratory animals, reproductive technologies have been used for more than a century. In order to sustain specialized biomedical research models in laboratory species and to increase production yield in farm animals, it has been essential to be able to reproduce desirable genetic features. Humans are the primary beneficiaries of the outcomes in both of these examples, including the provision of dietary supplies and medical treatments to support the health and well-being of a growing worldwide population. The unprecedented increase in the human population and the ensuing need for both natural and man-made resources, however, has led to a rapid and continuous loss in the world's biodiversity. Conservation programme managers are realizing the significance of adopting assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) to improve reproductive performance and guarantee the long-term preservation of rich genetic resources as more vertebrate species approach extinction. However, routinely implementing these technologies has been challenging, and the proportion of live births attributable to ARTs does not accurately represent the significant efforts made thus far. The success and difficulties of creating ARTs for species with a wide range of reproductive architecture, mating behavior, and natural life histories are the main strategies.
