Description

As the agency reported it.

Building on a decade of research into polar bear reproduction, this project will evaluate and implement innovative reproductive monitoring techniques, establish a standard of best practices in fertility assessments, and enhance reproduction and preserve genetic material by providing assisted reproductive technologies services across bear species.

The overarching goal of the project is to provide exemplary collections stewardship of captive bears by identifying new solutions for widespread challenges, which will help to ensure the presence of bears in zoos for years to come.
