[The resource conservation and breeding of wild Hydropotes inermis in China].
There have been four larger populations of wild water deer (Hydropotes inermis) in China, but all the populations lie in the endangered status. Most of populations are very small, and their distrbution ranges have already been broken up into many isolated patches. Furthermore, their habitats have been deteriorating. So it is very necessary to enhance the protection of habitat in the first place. Some endangered and small populations of wild water deer can be saved by inflows of domestic health deer. It is a valid way between conservation and utilization.
