This is what zoos do. Some times they are successful. There is always a problem of matching the environment the animal needs. They may only be able to keep a few specimens alive, but more and more zoos have a goal of reconstructing habitats and somehow restoring the viablity of a threatened species.

Actually.... I don't have a problem relocating them to an area where they were extirpated.

Why bother to move them if the goal is not to improve their viability?

They are adorable. They look like chinchillas only cuter. They eat plants.
