Information in the ISIS system helps members meet increasing conservation responsibilities as natural wildlife habitats disappear or become untenable. Because less than four percent of the Earth’s land surface is protected from development, most zoological populations must be self-sustaining, rather than dependent on wild-caught stock. ISIS data indicates that 82 percent of new zoo mammals are now born in captivity, along with 64 percent of birds and a majority of reptile species. Unfortunately, zoo populations of many species may be all that we have left.
ISIS supports coordinated captive conservation programs in several regions of the world. In numerous other cases, captive propagation in zoos and other facilities are being used to augment threatened wild populations.
