The impact of the extinction of wild life varies between the different species. If a predator becomes extinct the prey might overrun an ecosystem

Captive breeding programs have been introduced to many zoos‚ aquaria‚ and wildlife reserves over the years with the goal of increasing population numbers of endangered species to prevent extinction. Reintroduction of the species back into the wild often occurs after there are enough captive-bred animals to maintain the population. Other programs carry out captive breeding for the purpose of using the animals for commercial use‚ or producing them for displays at places such as zoos‚ aquaria‚ or research

the verge of extinction. Records from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) show in 1985 there were approximately 155‚000 giraffes. In 2015‚ it was discovered that there were only 97‚000 left. Some of the major causes of the species population decline are poaching‚ political strife‚ and loss of habitat in Africa. Prior to 2015‚ giraffes were listed by the IUCN as “least concerned” status. The problem is giraffes are curious creatures‚ which makes them easily accessible to hunters
