Species reintroduction is the deliberate release of a species into the wild, from captivity or other areas where the organism is capable of survival. [1] The goal of species reintroduction is to establish a healthy, genetically diverse , self-sustaining population to an area where it has been extirpated, or to augment an existing population .

Rewilding. Rewilding is a form of ecological restoration aimed at increasing biodiversity and restoring natural processes. It differs from other forms of ecological restoration in that rewilding aspires to reduce human influence on ecosystems. [1] It is also distinct from other forms of restoration in that, while it places emphasis on ...
Wolf reintroduction involves the reintroduction of a portion of grey wolves in areas where native wolves have been extirpated. More than 30 subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, and grey wolves, as colloquially understood, comprise nondomestic/feral subspecies.
Ecological restoration includes a wide diversity of methods including erosion control, reforestation, removal of non-native species and weeds, revegetation of disturbed areas, daylighting streams, the reintroduction of native species, and habitat and range improvement for targeted species. [20] Many scholars and practitioners argue that ...
Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials made the announcement this week following reports of the animals attacking nearby livestock. In December 2023, 10 gray wolves captured in Oregon were released ...
The reintroduction of extinct species could have a negative impact on extant species and their ecosystem. The extinct species' ecological niche may have been filled in its former habitat, making it an invasive species. This could lead to the extinction of other species due to competition for food or other competitive exclusion.
The reintroduction of a species can cause rapid change to high-use domesticated landscapes. These changes cause a range of emotional reactions to the community present. Attempting to understand these reactions is important for managing organizations to aid in coexistence between humans and beavers, and population success. [ 13 ]
Pleistocene rewilding. Pleistocene rewilding is the advocacy of the reintroduction of extant Pleistocene megafauna, or the close ecological equivalents of extinct megafauna. [1] It is an extension of the conservation practice of rewilding, which aims to restore functioning, self-sustaining ecosystems through practices that may include species ...
