Biology Year 11 - Module 3 - Lesson 17
Conservation Strategies
1. Key Ideas
The Southern Corroboree Frog has fewer than 20 individuals left in the wild, yet captive breeding programs have produced tens of thousands of frogs for reintroduction. Does that count as conservation success if chytrid fungus still threatens wild habitat? This lesson compares in-situ and ex-situ conservation, then asks how we judge whether a program is truly effective.
