Rediscovery of the waterlily Nymphaea thermarum Eb. Fisch. in Rwanda

Oryx
Nymphaea thermarum Eb. Fisch. (family Nymphaeaceae) is a small waterlily endemic to Rwanda that has been categorized as Extinct in the Wild since 2010. We report the rediscovery of N. thermarum in July 2023, not far from its locus classicus, identify the

Lessons from a century of conservation translocations

, 2021
Translocation—moving individuals for release in different locations—is among the most important conservation interventions for increasing or re-establishing populations of threatened species. However, translocations often fail. To improve their effectiveness, we need to understand the features that distinguish successful from failed translocations ...

Using species distribution modelling to identify potential translocation areas for the western chimpanzee under climate change scenarios in Ghana

Global Ecology and Conservation
The Earth’s climate is undergoing drastic changes leading to significant global biodiversity declines. Conservation translocation offers a potential solution for managing or restoring biodiversity threatened by local extinctions due to climate change and

Achieving conservation outcomes in plant mitigation translocations: the need for global standards

Plant Ecology, 2023
Many countries have legislation intended to limit or offset the impact of anthropogenic disturbance and development on threatened plants. Translocations are often integral to those mitigation policies.

Assessing the success of conservation translocation establishment: Post‐translocation demography of Nubian giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis) in Uganda

Conservation Science and Practice
Conservation translocations are increasingly important for restoring and augmenting wild populations of extirpated species or those diminishing rapidly.

Improving Standards for At-Risk Butterfly Translocations

Diversity, 2018
The use of human mediated translocations has been an increasing component of many species recovery initiatives, including for numerous imperiled Lepidopteran species.

Problem-elephant translocation: translocating the problem and the elephant? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Human-elephant conflict (HEC) threatens the survival of endangered Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Translocating "problem-elephants" is an important HEC mitigation and elephant conservation strategy across elephant range, with hundreds translocated ...

The quick and the dead: Behavioral plasticity of anti‐predator responses in an Endangered mammal

Conservation Science and Practice
Populations isolated from predation inside predator‐free havens often exhibit a reduction in anti‐predator traits. The loss of such traits has a critical bearing on strategic conservation management, and so it is important to understand the basis of ...

Conservation Units and Translocations: Strategies for Conserving Evolutionary Processes

Hereditas, 2004
The setting of conservation priorities within species requires explicit goals and identification of the appropriate targets for conservation. I suggest that the conservation goal should be to conserve ecological and evolutionary processes; rather than to preserve specific phenotypic variants - the products of those processes.
