Hi Izi, your about to be bombed with, captivity has nothing to do with conservation of wild monitors. Which can be debated until the end of the world. So do go there.



Just what does that mean to you. What is important to you? Not to all the armchair conservationist.



If I were going to take this route, I would say, some species that's in the country and is NOT LEGALLY IMPORTED. Which means most of the Australian stuff or philipine stuff. Even Asian stuff too.



I think what others will tell you is, captive breeding does nothing for conservation. Which is right, and wrong. So far, NOTHING is done that is actually conservation. People take, make more babies, then take up more land. The land is habitat. In the whole world, only china is practicing conservation. And only by limiting population growth, More importantly, its growth is educated. Which may or may not mean a darn thing.



Maybe Australia, and only because the people that live there, tend to leave as soon as they can. hahahahahahahaha, I love the country. I guess its normal, Whatever people have, they want something else, but then I wander.



So yea, whats important to you?
