Original text on this topic:
The Sumatran Rhino Trustwas formed in 1988 under the auspices of the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums (AAZPA). The SRT represents the last gasp of what might be termed the 'Noah's Ark Paradigm', the concept that our response to species endangerment should always be to establish a captive breeding program. The idea was that captive-bred animalscould be reintroduced at some unspecified future date. This paradigm is currently being reexamined.
