An early evaluation of translocation actions for endangered plant species on Mediterranean islands
Plant Diversity, 2019 In situ conservation is widely considered a primary conservation strategy. Plant translocation, specifically, represents an important tool for reducing the extinction risk of threatened species.

U.S. conservation translocations: Over a century of intended consequences
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Conservation translocations (reintroductions, reinforcements, ecological replacements, and assisted colonization) have played a vital and necessary role in conserving endangered species and ecosystems.

Incorporating human dimensions is associated with better wildlife translocation outcomes
Nature Communications, 2023 Conservation biologists have made calls for including human dimensions in wildlife conservation efforts. This quantitative synthesis of case studies from a global IUCN reintroduction program suggests that inclusion of local stakeholders in wildlife ...

Integrating In-Situ and Ex-Situ Data Management Processes for Biodiversity Conservation
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 There is an increasing need for a “one plan approach” for conservation strategies that integrate in-situ and ex-situ management processes. Zoological institutions contribute directly to threatened species conservation through paradigms, such as ...

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2022 The conservation field has evolved to include an understanding of human values and attitudes toward wildlife; however, there is still too little emphasis on, and prioritization of, building understanding of the complex and context-specific social ...

Roughing it: terrain is crucial in identifying novel translocation sites for the vulnerable brush-tailed rock-wallaby (Petrogale pencillata) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Translocations—the movement of species from one place to another—are likely to become more common as conservation attempts to protect small isolated populations from threats posed by extreme events such as bushfires.

Return to 1616: Multispecies Fauna Reconstruction Requires Thinking Outside the Box
Animals, 2023 Conservation translocations have become increasingly popular for ‘rewilding’ areas that have lost their native fauna. These multispecies translocations are complex and need to consider the requirements of each individual species as well as the influence ...

Global Ecology and ConservationOver the course of conservation translocations, evaluating release outcomes can be critical for shaping future plans. However, reintroduction programs are often constrained in the number of animals they can release, which reduces the potential for ...
