Nope

The only thing is that the more it's captive that are breed and sold in the pet industry (pet store etc...), should minimize the number of imports. If you import less, there should be more in the wild population to help maintain it.

But that's about it.

And the question should be : Is selling captive animals in the pet trade really help minimize the imports ? Or is the captive breeding increase the popularity of those and in the inverse, increase the number of cheap imports ?

The link between captive breeding and imports is not necessarily true. Have there been any research on this ?
