Introduction of wild Chinese gorals into a captive population requires careful genetic breeding plan monitoring for successful long-term conservation

The Chinese goral (Naemorhedus griseus) is a small goat-like animal, which is considered “vulnerable” due to its rapid decline in population in the wild. Captive breeding programs are necessary to prevent the extinction of Chinese gorals; however, reproduction in captivity reduces genetic diversity...
