Captive breeding programs are an insurance policy against extinction, providing a means for conserving species that may be struggling to survive in the wild. Captive bred animals may be released back into the wild to re-populate depleting numbers. They have been an integral part of recovery programs for a number of species including the Bald Eagle and Black Footed Ferret.
