Peggy's journals Reintroduction Conservation work can be categorized as a type of business. The reintroduction program and breeding program within the Zoo cooperates with the business corporations on building new exhibits. The business side of conservation work is required to put in full commitment and fund raising. The Zoo does work with and gains help from the business industry. The bond between the Zoo and business community is one key to do well in conservation.
New technology can also improve the reintroduction of endangered species.
For instance, in the recent project on the California condor of the San Diego Zoo, we were shown the equipment that is used to track the released condors. The equipment includes ultra light transmitters, global positioning system, GPS collar and special recording programs on computers. Satellites are used to locate the position of the condors. Every movement of the condor will be recorded by the transmitter and be downloaded at a particular time of a month to a computer. Those records show the reason of success or failure.
