boost stocks

Hi:

KAMPALA, Uganda - Two white rhinos took their first steps on African soil Thursday, officials said,
after being flown into the country from the U.S. to boost stocks.

What's the meaning of "boost stocks"?
Thanks

Does it mean they are sent to increase the number? or imply they are sent to help breed more ones?

why there's a 's' after 'stock'?
