The video discusses the okapi, a species closely related to the giraffe, and its conservation efforts. Two male okapis from the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been relocated to a breeding and research center in New Orleans to help increase their population. The center, which also houses other endangered species, provides more space than traditional zoos. The San Diego Zoo and Audubon Zoo are key collaborators in this project, investing significantly in conservation efforts. The video also highlights innovative reproduction techniques like cloning and artificial insemination to support endangered species without disturbing their natural habitats.
