The successful captive breeding program of the highly endangered California condor by the San Diego Zoo produced enough animals that many were released back into the wild. Some zoos have also evolved from simple purveyors of facts about individual animals into educators, describing the ecosystems, environmental concerns, and policy issues surrounding the animal, thus attempting to provide a more complete learning experience to the public.

And indeed, exploitation or experimental removal of abundant species have been shown to increase the diversity of local communities, especially if leftover resources become available to rare species. However, in a hyper-connected world, there is a real possibility that the resources freed by such a harvest would allow another opportunistic species to enter the community and reinforce, or even worsen, the dominance pattern

Many conditions of captivity (antibiotic exposure, altered diet composition, homogenous environment, increased stress, and altered intraspecific interactions) likely lead to changes in the host-associated microbiome. To minimize the problems arising from captivity, efforts can be taken to manipulate microbial diversity and composition to be comparable with wild populations through methods such as increasing dietary diversity, exposure to natural environmental reservoirs, or probiotics.

Both of these quotes are talking about methods of controlling animal population.

Increasing awareness of the importance of predicting conservation and restoration outcomes, together with the increasing availability of spatial data, has led to the development and application of a broad range of spatially explicit models to inform conservation and restoration actions.

Most large zoos and aquariums also have conservation programs. They work to conserve wild species that are in danger of disappearing. One way they do this is by breeding rare animals to produce offspring.

Conservation program. It is a welfare program for animals living in zoos, aquariums, and other wildlife centers. Facilities must meet the program's animal welfare standards to be certified. The standards cover housing, health, management, medical treatment, and other areas of care.

Both research about animal health in captivity.

Ethical standards address minimum levels of animal care, responsibility to the animals, species survival plans, commitment to biodiversity and conservation efforts, and professional conduct. Member zoos found in violation of ethical standards face sanctions or dismissal from the associations

Home to more than 70 species on federal and state lists of those endangered or threatened, including the Florida panther, Florida scrub jay and Everglades snail kite, the new conservation area would be part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Some parts of the proposed conservation area are already protected as national and state parks and tribal lands, but the added territory could enable wildlife to roam beyond southwest Florida.
