Answer 2

Captive breeding can increase population numbers

Captive breeding can result in the eventual release of offspring into the wild.

Step-by-step explanation:

Captive breeding involves propagating the numbers of a species of plant or animal in a controlled environment- away from the wild or natural habitat of the species. Captive breeding is especially done to improve the numbers of a critically endangered species to prevent them from spiraling down to extinction. The offspring are later steadily weaned by introducing them into the wild gradually until they can fully independently go about into the wild.
