Building the Ark [A] When the Cincinnаti Zоо оpened its gаtes in 1875, there were perhаps as many as a million Sumatran rhinos foraging in forests from Bhutan to Borneo. Today, there may be fewer than a hundred left in the world. Three of these were born in Cincinnati - a female named Suci and her brothers, Harapan and Andalas. In 2007, the zoo sent Andalas to Sumatra, where he has since sired a calf at Way Kambas National Park. If the species escapes extinction, it will in no small part be thanks to the work done at the zoo. And what goes for the Sumatran rhino goes for a growing list of species saved from oblivion. As the wild shrinks, zoos are increasingly being looked to as modern-day arks: the last refuge against a rising tide of extinction. Who to Save? [B] From the early 19th century, American zoos were involved in animal conservation. At the end of the century, the Cincinnati Zoo tried - unsuccessfully - to breed passenger pigeons, whose numbers were in rapid decline. (The bird thought to be the very last passenger pigeon, named Martha, died at the zoo in 1914; the building where she lived is now a memorial.) And in the early 20th century, when one count showed just 325 wild American bison left in North America, the Bronx Zoo started a captive-breeding program that helped save the species. Other animals that owe their existence to captive-breeding efforts are the Arabian oryx, the black-footed ferret, the red wolf, the Guam rail, and the California condor. [C] Because such programs tend to be expensive - the condor program costs participating institutions up to two million dollars a year - they're usually led by large, big-city zoos, but smaller zoos are increasingly joining in. The Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, Illinois, is one of the smallest zoos in the United States, at just four acres. However, it has bred red wolves and is hoping to breed the endangered Mount Graham red squirrel. "It's a small animal that doesn't require a huge amount of space," said zoo official Jay Tetzloff. [D] But zoos also have to financially support themselves, and small animals just don't attract the crowds necessary to keep business in the black. Robert Lacy, a conservation biologist at the Chicago Zoological Society, says that zoos are going to have to make some really difficult decisions. "Do you save a small number of large animals–the crowd favorites–or do you focus on saving a whole lot more little, unpopular creatures for the same amount of money?" he asks. [E] Right now, the world's most threatened group of animals are probably amphibians. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)–which maintains what's known as the Red List–more than a third of the world's frog, toad, and salamander species are at risk of extinction. Unfortunately for them, amphibians are far less popular than zoo species such as pandas or lions, which are not yet facing imminent extinction in the wild. But there are advantages to being small. For one thing, a whole population of amphibians can be kept in less space than that required by a single rhinoceros. [F] Others question whether zoos should devote resources to species, large or small, that are doing fine on their own. "I think it's a bit of a cop-out to say the public wants to see x, y, or z," says Onnie Byers, chair of the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, part of the IUCN Species Survival Commission. "Plenty of species need exactly the expertise that zoos can provide. I would love to see a trend toward zoos phasing out species that don't need that care and using the spaces for species that do." Small Victories [G] "It's an amazing responsibility to have half the remaining members of a species in your care," says Jim Breheny, the director of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo. He's standing in a state-of-the-art breeding facility filled with tanks of Kihansi spray toads - small, yellow amphibians about 2.5 centimeters (one inch) long. [H] Depending on how you look at things, the Kihansi spray toad is either one of the most unfortunate or one of the luckiest species around. Until the late 1990s, the Kihansi spray toad was unknown to science. It was not actually identified until a hydroelectric project was already destroying its tiny habitat - five acres of mist-soaked land in the Kihansi River Gorge, in eastern Tanzania. In 2000, recognizing that the project would probably harm the newly discovered species, the Tanzanian government invited the Bronx Zoo to collect some of the toads. Exactly 499 spray toads were captured and kept in the Bronx and Toledo Zoos in the United States. Just nine years later, as a result of disease and habitat destruction, the Kihansi spray toad was declared extinct in the wild. [I] In the meantime, the zoos were struggling to figure out how to recreate the habitat that gives the spray toad its name. In the Kihansi River Gorge, a series of waterfalls had provided the toads with constant spray, so the tanks in the Bronx were provided with spray in the same way. Among amphibians, Kihansi toads are unusual in that the young are born live: At birth, they are no bigger than a match head. For the tiny young, the zoo had to find even tinier prey; eventually, they settled on tiny insect-like animals called springtails, which the researchers also had to figure out how to raise. But then keepers noticed that the toads seemed to be suffering from a nutritional deficiency, so a special vitamin supplement had to be designed. [J] After some initial losses, the toads began to thrive and reproduce. By 2010, there were several thousand of them in New York and Toledo, so that year a hundred toads were sent back to the Kihansi River Gorge. But there was a problem: By diverting water from the falls, the hydroelectric project had eliminated the mist that the toads depend on. So the Tanzanians set up a system to restore the spray to the gorge. In 2012, the first toads bred in the Bronx Zoo were released back into the wild. The Frozen Zoo [K] But for every success story like the Kihansi toad, there are dozens of other species on the edge of extinction. Many of these–the Sumatran orangutan, the Amur leopard, a songbird from the island of Kauai, and a thousand other species–can be found in a single room at the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research. Vials containing cells from each of these animals are being kept in a bath of liquid nitrogen where the temperature is minus 200°C. These thousands of identical-looking frozen vials represent what might be described as a beyond-the-last-ditch conservation effort: the Frozen Zoo. [L] For now, at least, only one of the animals in the Frozen Zoo is actually extinct: the po‘ouli, a fat bird with a sweet black face and a light-colored chest that lived on the Hawaiian island of Maui until 2004. But it seems safe to predict that in the coming years, more and more will become extinct. [M] "I think there are going to be more and more species where the only living material left is going to be cells in the Frozen Zoo," says Oliver Ryder, the institute's director of genetics. Native to central Africa, the northern white rhino is down to its last two females, after the death in 2018 of the last living male. The extinction of the species is, at this point, considered inevitable. After the two last rhinos die, they will, in a way, live on–one last hope, suspended in a frozen cloud. The Photo Ark The Photo Ark is a 20-year-long documentary project founded by National Geographic photographer and fellow Joel Sartore. It is an extensive online archive of studio-quality photographs of animals around the world, from the largest carnivores to the smallest insects - all to showcase biodiversity. "We stand to lose half of all the planet's species by the turn of the next century," says Sartore. "The Photo Ark seeks to document as many of these as possible, using captive animals as ambassadors." More than 9,500 species have already been photographed since the project began, and Sartore plans to continue documenting all of the roughly 12,000 species inhabiting zoos, aquariums, and breeding centers around the world. Sadly, several of the animals he photographed have already become extinct. The goal of the project is to bring amazing images of animals to the public eye in order to inspire people everywhere to care about these species - and to do something to help save them before it's too late. "People won't work to save something if they don't know it exists," Sartore says. "That's where these photos come in." According to paragraph E, the Red List is a ____.
