Beyond the White Tiger: What Albinism Teaches Us About Zoo Genetics and Real Conservation

She explained to the board that "better" conservation didn't mean breeding for looks; it meant ensuring genetic variability Beyond the White Tiger: What Albinism Teaches Us

Albinism in zoo populations presents a complex intersection of genetic management and conservation biology. While these "anomalies" are major public attractions, their presence in captive breeding programs requires careful genetic oversight to ensure the primary goal—maintaining a healthy, genetically diverse population for conservation—is not compromised by the prioritization of rare physical traits. 1.
