Taking advantage of ConGen's expertise in population
biology, the department provides support and advice
for population management of endangered species
translocation and reintroduction efforts. Research on
viability analysis and statistically significant
monitoring of wild populations is a component of this
program. Recent examples of this research include the
development of plans for captive breeding and
reintroduction of the Chinese alligator and a new
program for scarlet macaws in Guatemala.
