Well, in African lots of hunters kill porcupines for their quills which decreases their biodiversity. Which then they're will be less porcupines at the zoo. But if the Zoo doesn't want them to reproduce they can put them in different rooms, they can also let them out in the wild agin that way they might get shot by a hunter or killed by a predator. That way the biodiversity of the animal will decrease.
First of all, people like hunting porcupines for their quills their quills are long and they're very nice pattern so they can make something out of it. But the Calgary Zoo helps the porcupines, they do so many things to keep porcupines alive. The Calgary Zoo also has a population mangement plan, which helps the porcupines a lot.

The Calgary Zoo brings special food that the organism likes. It keeps it safe from predators, they feed them take care of their health as well. And it would take care of its kids, feed them and take care of their health too.
It has a narrow niche. Becuase an African Porcupine has a special place to live special food to eat, if someone brought this organism to Calgary's forests it wouldn't be able to survive. An African Porcupine is a specialist it can only survive in Africa because that's where it can survive. It also wouldn't be able to survive here because of the food he needs specific food that is in Africa.
