ELI5. How do you bring back a species from from near extinction?

Question

Saw a post talking about the white Rhino only had 200 animals left but now there are so many more. But how is this done without serious inbreeding. Or is there something I’m missing?

Edit: yes, I know how sexy time works.

They did this with a type of gigantic vulture in California, they captured the remaining 23 BIRDS left and put them in a breeding program. There are now over 200 in captivity. The trick is to round those fuckers up and do the PewDiePie “now FRICK”
