WFL 003: Preserving Genetic Diversity In the Toronto Zoos Fertility Clinic With Dr. Gabriela Mastromonaco

My guest today is Dr. Gabriela Mastromonaco, the Curator of Reproductive Programs and Research at the Toronto Zoo. I sit down with Gaby to find out more about the "fertility clinic" of a number of species at the Zoo to help protect the genetic diversity of each species. During our chat, Gaby tells me about the Wood Bison Program to help repopulate the Bison population in Saskatchewan. The Zoo's artificial insemination program has created at least 10 Bison that are kept at the Zoo.   You are going to learn about how the Zoo plays an important role in protecting genetic diversity and Species At Risk in Canada and Internationally.
