Talk:Ex-situ conservation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Merger proposal
Oppose merger. Each of the topics involved are destined to become very large articles. captive breeding is just one small part of ex-situ conservation. captive breeding itself is a very large subject. Anlace 22:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Oppose merger Ex-situ conservation means a lot more then Captive Breeding, like cloning, preservation of live tissue and even sperms in liquid nitrogen, preserving a live embryo in liquid nitrogen, transplanting embryos, etc. etc. artificial insemination, milking of sperm, egg harvesting etc. etc. and so on Atulsnischal 18:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose merger Ex situ conservation and captive breeding can have components which are non-inclusive. For example, captive breeding might be performed insitu so that climate, dietary concerns are minimal. Again, ex situ conservation involves various features including rehabilitation, etc that are not under captive breeding. Also, captive breeding is a big enough topic in itself, just that it is a stub does not mean it will stay that way. ray 21:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
