Conservation breeding
Keeping the earlier Breeding programme in view and the species requirements, Kanpur Zoological Park has been selected as conservation breeding center for Swamp Deer. Barasinga or Swamp Deer is an endangered species and is endemic to the swampy areas of the terai tract of Uttar Pradesh.
As the Terai areas are cleared of agriculture much needed Swampy areas are diminishing and thus the animal population is reducing and restricted to a few pockets. Hence conservation breeding of this animal has been entrusted to Kanpur Zoological Park. At Present on an average 4 births are recorded per annum.
Kanpur Zoological Park is a participating Zoo for one Horned Rhinoceros. Rhino was reintroduced in Dudhwa National Park. The animals were brought from Chitwan National Park, Nepal and Kazairanga National Park, Assam. The animals were given complete protection. They are multiplying satisfactorily in the in-situ areas. To supplement their population ex-situ conservation measures are taken. Kanpur Zoological Park has been chosen as participating zoo. So far the breeding history of Kanpur Zoo is satisfactory.
