Paperback. 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. Conservation translocation involves moving species to benefit their own conservation and our wider environment. Its use is increasing rapidly in rewilding and other projects, and excites and engages people. This book aims to inspire and inform practitioners, academics, students, policy makers, and the public globally. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
