This is part of a broader program that involves captive breeding, habitat restoration, and reintroduction into the wild. From being extinct in the wild in the '80s with a captive population of 18, they've been brought back to several thousand individuals. Increasing the diversity of the gene pool is more than just a "nice experiment", but actively addresses a major challenge in the survival of the species.
