    Book description

    Conservation translocation - the movement of species for conservation benefit - includes reintroducing species into the wild, reinforcing dwindling populations, helping species shift ranges in the face of environmental change, and moving species to enhance ecosystem function. Conservation translocation can lead to clear conservation benefits and can excite and engage a broad spectrum of people. However, these projects are often complex and involve careful consideration and planning of biological and socio-economic issues. This volume draws on the latest research and experience of specialists from around the world to help provide guidance on best practice and to promote thinking over how conservation translocations can continue to be developed. The key concepts cover project planning, biological and social factors influencing the efficacy of translocations, and how to deal with complex decision-making. This book aims to inspire, inform and help practitioners maximise their chances of success, and minimise the risks of failure.

    Reviews

    ‘Tackling big problems requires a diversity of knowledge and perspectives. As such I am so pleased to present this first authoritative text on conservation translocations. Contributors from all around the world not only showcase lessons learned to date but also set the stage for future actions that will help species large and small, restore ecosystems from oceans to land, and yield benefits for humanity that transcend geography and culture.’

    Razan Al Mubarak - President, International Union for Conservation of Nature

    ‘The many chapters provide an excellent review of the existing literature, both formally and informally published, and will be an invaluable guide for future practice.’

    ‘[A] nuanced collection of perspectives, work packages and long-standing experiences from seasoned experts on the complexities of moving species. … The book offers refined perspectives on often confusing concepts of restoration, reinforcement, reintroduction, assisted colonization, introduction, and deplacement.’
