Zoo's vital role in nature conservation
CAPTIVE breeding programmes aim to increase population numbers of threatened species under controlled conditions. In Malaysia, government-backed efforts through Perhilitan (Department of Wildlife and National Parks) and partnerships with zoos such as Zoo Negara Malaysia have focused on species like the Malayan tiger and milky stork ( pic ). These controlled environments allow for the careful monitoring of health, genetic diversity and breeding success while also serving as valuable spaces for research and public education.
