Initiative on highlighting how <em>ex situ<\/em> (in human care) conservation methods can be a valuable tool for species conservation that complement and support conservation efforts for wild populations , which has made me think back fondly on my time with the giant panda behavioural research project in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>I can still picture it like it was yesterday. On the ground in China, at the giant panda base with my pen, notebook, and iPad at the ready. Watching. Waiting. <em>What interesting antics are these charismatic bears going to get up to today?<\/em> <em>What behaviours am I going to see? <\/em>All to answer the most important question of <em>how do different behaviours impact captive breeding success<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>The giant panda has one of the most well known conservation breeding programs in the world, however, giant pandas in captivity have long struggled to reproduce and build up the captive population. With a breeding window of only 2-3 days a year(!), mate choice is of critical importance, and genetics alone may not be the sole determining factor in breeding. To investigate the significance of behaviour in contributing to the success of conservation breeding efforts, I assisted with a conservation-based research project using the captive population to help determine methods that can be used to benefit the wild population.<\/p>\n<p>Meghan Martin, Founder and Director of PDXWildlife, who led this research project, shared her thoughts with me on the importance of conservation-based research in establishing a successful breeding program to support population reintroductions:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Conservation breeding plays a critical role in the preservation of endangered species by ensuring genetic diversity and providing a safety net against extinction. By carefully managing breeding programs and breeding behaviours to better understand the natural reproductive processes of an endangered species, we can bolster populations and create a sustainable future for these vulnerable species in their natural habitats. Understanding a species\u2019 behaviour helps in replicating their natural breeding conditions, enhancing the success of captive breeding programs, and promoting successful reintroduction into the wild<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_2'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-42842'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><\/p>\n<div  class='flex_column av-or4e3b-7d9e31d849c173a25588bdb7363b2782 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2hoi1zu-68cc8de466c8da2e8e16612098a11865\">\n.avia-image-container.av-2hoi1zu-68cc8de466c8da2e8e16612098a11865 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-2hoi1zu-68cc8de466c8da2e8e16612098a11865 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-2hoi1zu-68cc8de466c8da2e8e16612098a11865 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-42847 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-42847 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gate-barrier.jpg' alt='' title='Gate barrier'  height=\"275\" width=\"406\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-llp7giuj-02bad579901784a8c1a76def56f42d32'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Female giant panda in a tree observing male in enclosure next door reverse scent marking.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-lll6cy10-3267d4637e338ab2356debcd95d83dc6 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lll6ewk4-d5505f59e635baf43005254b0fe9758c\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lll6ewk4-d5505f59e635baf43005254b0fe9758c img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lll6ewk4-d5505f59e635baf43005254b0fe9758c .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lll6ewk4-d5505f59e635baf43005254b0fe9758c av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-11  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-42878 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-42878 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Panda-3-1.jpg' alt='' title='Panda 3'  height=\"255\" width=\"380\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-llp7fgb5-6f0f5bbe514c2c1224a43a40a8a709c9'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Male giant panda reverse scent marking on gate barrier, separating male from female enclosures.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-95kreif-72aab99ca0a06bfafb368ca8c7fe7b92 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  species-inner-content-intro-wrapper avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-42842'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-8p0un4n-23c38342c3dee0a6722a981293cc579f av_one_full  avia-builder-el-14  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-2xxxhz-4af341a1c78e0fcba33ed50974d03eee'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Meghan and her team established a mate choice protocol for the Giant Panda where female and male pandas were matched with a preferred or non-preferred mate and reproductive success was measured.

At the piant panda base, I recorded stereotypic behaviours such as pacing, head-toss, handstand, somersault, mother-cub interactions, and object play. Surprisingly, the data showed that stereotypic behaviour is not always \u201cbad behaviour\u201d, but can be beneficial in producing more cubs (pandas are more motivated to mate).

As a result, the number of cubs born has increased and some of the cubs are now part of the reintroduction program to help increase wild populations. Improving breeding success contributes to higher genetic diversity and better resilience of the population, decreasing the risk of extinction. Conservation-based research is an important role that the <em>ex situ<\/em> community such as zoos and aquariums where animals are cared for outside of their natural habitat can fulfill to support conservation and prevent extinction. Without the <em>ex situ<\/em> population (in human care) and the research on breeding behaviour, Giant Pandas may have gone extinct, but instead they are still around for future generations to love and enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about how <em>ex situ<\/em> conservation roles can help prevent extinction of species in the wild check out the <a
