Introducing new individuals from other populations of the same species would bring in new genetic material that could increase the genetic diversity of the population. It would also increase the population size, which helps to counteract the effects of the extinction vortex. Establishing a reserve and controlling predators and competitors could also be helpful, but would likely take longer to increase genetic diversity than introducing new individuals. Sterilizing the least fit individuals would not increase genetic diversity, as these individuals would not be passing down their genes to the next generation.
