The formation of the IUCN/SSC Re-introduction
Specialist Group was a milestone in conservation. Lot of
advance has been made in the filed of reintroduction with the advent of the
group. This book aims to further advance the field of reintroduction biology.
The book advocates a strategic approach to
reintroduction where all actions are guided by explicit theoretical frameworks
based on clearly defined objectives. It covers topics like husbandry and intensive management,
monitoring, and genetic and health management.
People wanting to bridge the
research-management gap will find the book highly useful. The book is
unreservedly recommended for Wildlife managers wanting to expand their thinking
about reintroduction-related decisions and researchers aspiring to make useful
applied contributions to reintroduction.
