From our point of view, the key does indeed lie in breeding and reintroduction, which are the scientific parameters that can enable a population to recover. In the case of the Val-d'Or herd, we've been hoping for four years to breed and reintroduce new individuals so that we can think about recovery.
That's where we have to go back to the objectives. Do we want to maintain the species and see it flourish? Do we want to maintain each of the herds if, biologically or scientifically, we've lost the battle because, collectively, we've made mistakes? Do we want to keep each individual alive? That's the fundamental question we need to ask ourselves: what do we want to achieve? Then, means like the ones you mention—breeding and reintroduction—can provide adequate answers.
