Conservation Investigations at White Oak Conservation Center

The research strategy of White Oak Conservation Center focuses on key species managed at White Oak and provides collaborative support for other institutions by providing visiting scientists with access to animals or biological samples, and through capacity training.

Focal areas include:

• Support for animal programs
• Development of new technology to manage populations
• Collaborations to enhance our project potential
• Novel studies to address emerging needs

We also contribute to the sustainability of the Center’s animal collection through reproductive monitoring, the development of assisted reproduction techniques, and animal health and welfare studies.

Our scientific results and outcomes are communicated to our staff, scientists, conservationists and the general public through seminars, publications, presentations at international conferences and our own publications Karatasi and the White Oak Conservation Center’s e-newsletter.
