Reintroduction

These guidelines are designed to be applicable to the full spectrum of conservation translocations. They are based on principle rather than example and are designed to provide guidance on the justification, design and implementation of any conservation translocation.

These guidelines were drafted by the Re-introduction Specialist Group of the Species Survival Commission, and approved by the 41st Meeting of IUCN Council in May 1995. The definition of "re-introduction" is "an attempt to establish a species in an area which was once part of its historical range, but from which it has been extirpated or become extinct".

This third edition of the Global Re-introduction Perspectives provides 50 case-studies covering invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and plants. The case-studies are presented in the same format as the previous two volumes and the case-studies are vividly illustrated with color photographs.
