"The Reykjavík Zoo and Family Park recently sent animals to be kept at foreign zoos for the first time. These were the five cubs of fox couple Frosti and Flandra, which were born last spring. After undergoing medical examination and vaccination, one cub was sent to Norway and four to Sweden.
The purpose of the transport is to prevent inbreeding and support the Arctic fox stock in Scandinavia, where it has declined significantly, among other reasons because of the invasion of red foxes. It is believed that only around 50 wild Arctic foxes exist in Norway, a press release from the Reykjavík Zoo and Family Park states."

I confess I was never a big fan of zoo's, but I guess they can do some good like this.
