The role of conservation genetics in species recovery efforts is vital for preserving genetic diversity, which is essential for the survival and adaptability of species. It employs molecular techniques to assess genetic variation, inbreeding, and population structure, guiding strategies to enhance gene flow and manage breeding programs. This field helps identify genetically distinct populations, facilitating informed decision-making in translocation and habitat management. By understanding genetic factors, conservation genetics ensures that recovery efforts improve the long-term viability of threatened species and contribute to biodiversity conservation.
