Basics
Strategy Description
Focuses on the relocation of species or populations to suitable habitats where they historically existed or are predicted to thrive under changing environmental conditions. This strategy involves careful assessment of habitat suitability, species' ecological requirements, and potential impacts on existing ecosystems. Projects under this strategy may include translocation efforts to move species to more suitable habitats, habitat restoration to prepare new areas for colonization, and monitoring programs to assess the success of translocation efforts and the establishment of relocated populations. Additionally, research initiatives may focus on understanding the potential consequences of assisted migration on native species and ecosystems, as well as developing guidelines and best practices for successful relocation projects.
