We have established an Institute to conserve
rare and endangered species of African
mammals by gaining knowledge of their
basic reproductive biology for application
in conservation management. ART will be a
complementary initiative to programes such
as captive breeding, re-stocking, habitat reestablishment
and infectious disease control.
Knowledge of basic reproductive biology of
African mammals will also position IBREAM to
develop contraceptive measures as a humane
alternative to culling to maintain habitat and
population balance.
