We suggest that the captive-breeding programme in North America, the American Zoo and Aquarium Association Species Survival Plan (SSP), be extended to a world-wide co-operative programme under the guidance of the appropriate organization. The time has come to institute sound genetic management of small populations to minimize inbreeding and maximize genetic diversity.
