TheInternational Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) publishes a handbook entitled "Guidelines for Developing Species Action Plans" that contains information on various techniques and strategies employed in captive breeding, including step by step protocols and detailed explanations of the science behind successfully breeding endangered species in captivity. It can be accessed at https://www.iucnredlist.org/resources/downloads/sscp-guidelines-english.  Additionally, there are many online sources with helpful articles, such as The Humane Society’s Breeding Guide for Endangered Species: https://www2.hsvvetgroupsvcsservices2016feb15t3cm02998q51834pemc5zqc67n72zwnyekr6tmsvhdbgbecwmecbvjzcdecybmjwwdcbahjzeqewcdatkzwnyeaocbampejmckr6tdbawucybamejsydxmcdbyahayejwewcmnydjwecymadkbazjcezmndehajzezwcemkdyea

The best way to learn about breeding endangered species is to research conservation breeding programs. Information on these programs, as well as resources for how to get started, can be found through organizations such as the Association of Zoo’s and Aquariums (AZA), San Diego Zoo Global and the Endangered Species Foundation. Additionally, many universities also have courses and/or research projects dedicated to species conservation and captive breeding.
