The reason they are endangered is because of deforestation, loss of habitat, human impact hence by breeding endangered in captivity will prevent them from extinction, but can never be releases into the same are of habitat it originates from as it will face the same fate. Because we are experiencing the " bottle" neck effect due to inbreeding where numbers are low conservation are doing extensive DNA analysis to prevent such atrocious acts commuted by certain people. Inbreeding within a " population" have very negative and bad traits as follows below: Weak immune system Low fertility Infertile Deformity in mandibles Deformities on other places Subjected to high mortality numbers [/QUOTE]
