The zoos' Alliance for Sustainable Wildlife is aimed at preserving endangered species and producing popular species for zoos.\u003cbr/\u003e              It is housed at the Audubon Nature Institute's Species Survival Center in New Orleans, where the first hoofed animals arrived last spring and summer.\u003cbr/\u003e              Since then seven antelope have given birth, at least one more female is pregnant and others may be.\u003cbr/\u003e              Along with antelope the centre has also seen the birth of giraffes and Eastern Bongo, a critically endangered subspecies of bongo antelope.\u003cbr/\u003e              Michelle Hatwood from the Audubon Nature Institute's Species Survival Center says the new partnership is unique.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"We actually built this property with a partnership with San Diego Zoo Global.

All but the sable are females.\u003cbr/\u003e              Hatwood says the centre mostly has hoofed animals.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"We have mostly hoof stock out here, which are like your antelope, deer, giraffe and that's mostly what we've had our babies of. So, we've had quite a few antelope babies, including bongo, sable antelope, giraffe. We've had some eland babies,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003e              Once thought to be a thriving species, Hatwood says even giraffes are now under threat in the wild.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"Unfortunately, you know, because everyone just thought they were doing so good for so long, we didn't think a lot about the conservation of giraffe in Africa.

So, the breeding is going very well. We're very happy. We think it's a lot to do with the naturalistic environment they get to walk around, do what they want to do, and breed,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003e              Once ready the babies will move on to other zoos and conservation facilities but exactly where depends on the Species Survival Plan the Association of Zoos and Aquariums has for each animal. \u003cbr/\u003e              Genetics, medical history and behaviour are all considered when the plan managers decide if an animal will be used for breeding or just for exhibits, and where they'll go.\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              ASSOCIATED PRESS \u003cbr/\u003e              New Orleans, Louisiana – 20 June, 2018\u003cbr/\u003e              1.
