Another major threat is the loss of habitat by conversion of grasslands to agricultural uses; the<br>remaining habitat is now fragmented by great expanses of cropland and human development. In<br>addition, the gene diversity of the current captive population as determined by pedigree analysis is<br>estimated to be about 86% of that which was present in the population's founders (Garelle et al. 2014).<br>This decrease in genetic diversity and concomitant increase in inbreeding may decrease fitness through<br>inbreeding depression, including immune system dysfunction and reduced reproductive success<br>(Bronson et al. 2007).
