reintroduction programs
Wildlife comeback efforts
Reintroduction programs are organized efforts to return species to habitats where they once lived but have disappeared.
Conservation groups breed animals in captivity or relocate them from surviving populations, then release them into restored environments: The wolf reintroduction program in Yellowstone transformed the ecosystem.
Success depends on addressing whatever caused the original extinction—hunting, habitat loss, or depleted prey.
