Captive management involves keeping animals in enclosed spaces to assist the survival of their species. It typically occurs in zoos, universities, or research centers where individuals are closely monitored as part of a conservation program. The goal of captive management is the protection, preservation, and careful management of species through conditions that allow in-depth study, breeding programs, and public awareness while working to restore populations in the wild. However, captivity can also negatively impact individual animals' health and mortality while poorly managed programs risk harming wild populations.
