Abstract
Conservation agencies throughout the world are working to protect and restore endangered species of wildlife. Some of the better known restoration programs are those involving species such as the whooping crane (Grus americana) and California condor (Gymnogyps californianus),but there are also many less publicized efforts in aid of a wide variety of species. Unfortunately, many of these restoration programs, especially those involving species that have reached critically low numbers, prove to be extremely difficult and often unsuccessful (Halliday 1978; Griffith et al. 1989). However, the need for these programs continues to rise under increasing pressure of habitat loss, overexploitation, introduction of exotic species, and environmental pollution.
