Each EEP species has its own species coordinator, who keeps a record of the population and decides which individuals can mate together. The coordinator is in charge of keeping the species’ zoo population at the right size and in good health. One of the aims of this conservation work is to reintroduce animal populations back into the wild.
The kinships and origins of all the individuals of a species have been gathered in international and European population records. The breeding of the population, divided between many different zoos, is controlled with the population data.
