disadvantages with captive breeding compared to the advantages. This includes removing the last few remaining individuals from the wild, which could cause the species to become extinct in the wild even if the idea was for the reintroduction of the animal.

Answer:

Captive breeding involves capturing an animal from the wild and raising them up in a different environment.

Advantages of Captive breeding include:

Limited number of resources compared to those in the wild.

It loses some features which made it survive in the wild as a result of domestication.
