Effects of a proposed ex situ conservation program on in situ conservation of the babirusa, an endangered suid
Article Abstract:
A case study of the effect of a planned internationally recognized captive breeding program on trade in the endangered babirusa wild pig from July to December 1998 is presented. The study shows that the swift action by the Indonesian authorities halted this trade, but warns that the damage that can be caused to the conservation of a species if management programs are instituted without a full understanding of the practicalities of its conservation, particularly interactions between the species and local people.

Translocation, hybridization, and the endangered black-faced impala
Article Abstract:
Hybridization poses a potential threat to endangered black-faced impala (Aepyceros melampus petersi) of Namibia as a result of translocation and import restrictions. The impala have been introduced onto private farms, but private landowners have no incentive to preserve the herds purity because of import restrictions imposed by the US. Thus there is a risk of hybridization with the common impala.
