Return to the wild: Translocation as a tool in conservation of the Desert Tortoise (Gopherus agassizii)

Biological Conservation, 2007
Abstract Translocation could be used as a tool in conservation of the threatened Mojave Desert Tortoise ( Gopherus agassizii ) by moving individuals from harm’s way and into areas where they could contribute to conservation of the species. Numerous factors may affect the success of translocations, including the conditions experienced by tortoises in ...
