Please show me whre in this web site, on whatever pages, there is any information about captive breeding that would make it necessary to be included per

I have reverted this yet again. If there is information about captive breeding (not about services offered), then that information should be included in the article and the reference should be a citation to the specific page containing the information. This is an article about the nature and practice of captive breeding, not about who does captive breeding (I have about 900 candidate zoos if you really want to try starting and maintaining such a list in a separate article). This article lists the major organizations that COORDINATE captive breeding. It doesn't even list the studbook keepers for each of the species with programs (about 160 studbooks, though some organizations maintain multiple studbooks), let alone individual organizations.

• I noticed that when discussing success it is noted that "failure in other breeding habitats may be due to "poor" sperm morphology." I do not have access to the article from which this is referenced, but I have seen other articles which state that cheetahs have poor sperm quality themselves.
• Included information about studbooks and how they are used by those in conservation could be useful to the reader, even possibly a link to another Wikipedia page.
• Add details on how the breeding programs are implemented and cultural differences, for example in Europe natural mating is used more often. while in the US, artificial means are used in order to have more control over which genes will combine.

The writing style of this article is inconsistent and sometimes confusing. The information is good and useful to anyone needing information on this topic. This article has the potential of becoming very good. I also detect that there is a point of view problem, I call it the 'anti-anthropomorphic' effect. This is where human activity is cast in a negative light, creating the impression that anything that man does is bad and everything that occurs in nature is good. If editors stick to the facts, we should have a good article. If you want to include some point of view material it has to be referenced to some other source rather than the opinion of an editor. There shouldn't be any problems finding lots of people who have blamed humankind for the ills of the planet.

Hello Fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added a couple sections (History and Methods) to the page. The previous history section was detailing the successes of captive breeding so I changed it to have more background information leading up to modern day captive breeding programs. The methods section is just methods and processes used by conservationists in captive breeding programs to get desired results. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snarayanan9 (talk • contribs) 17:38, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Fellow Wikipedians,

I have just clarified some sentences in the history and methods sections as well as changed some irrelevant information in those sections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snarayanan9 (talk • contribs) 00:29, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
