17
Q

What is the aim of reintroduction?

A

To establish a viable, free-ranging population in the wild, of a species, subspecies or race, which has become globally or locally extinct, or extirpated, in the wild.

18
Q

What are some habitat characteristics in reintroduction?

A
  • Release site should be within historic range
  • Introduction outside of historic range should only be undertaken as a last resort when there are no opportunities within the historic range or when a significant contribution to the conservation of the species will result.
  • Introduction should be at site with best habitat not necessarily the last place the species was found.
  • Availability of suitable habitat? The area must still be capable of meeting the species critical needs
19
Q

What are the 6 principles of reintroduction?

A
  1. Habitat
  2. Ecological
  3. Founders
  4. Captive Breeding
  5. Animal Welfare
  6. Sociological Considerations
20
Q

What are some considerations in Captive Breeding re-introductions?

A

Many reintroductions are failures due to loss of natural behavioursassociated with wild fitness. These include inappropriate social behaviours, and conditioning, imprinting or habituation to humans.

21
Q

In exotic species control, what are the three types of approaches used?

A
  • Species
  • Ecosystem
  • Combined
22
Q

How are management priorities done for species?

A

Slide 15

23
Q

How are Alien Plants ranked?

A
  1. Significant of threat or impact
  2. Innate ability to be a pest
  3. Difficulty of Control
24
Q

How are management priorities done for sites?

A

Slide 19

25
Q

What are the elements of a strategy for exotic species control?

A
  • Stock Taking
  • Prevention
  • Detection and Response
  • Control and Management
  • Restoration
  • Co-operation
  • Monitoring and Research
  • Legislation
  • Public Education
26
Q

What is a Conservation Agreement?

A

When a CA is signed a caveat is placed on the land title. The habitat Protection provisions remain in place when the land changes hands.

27
Q

What is EBM?

A

Ecosystems Based Management

28
Q

What is the Adaptive Management Process?

A

Slide 33

29
Q

What does an Adaptive Resource Management do?

A

An Adaptive Resource Management (ARM) approach forms the framework of most Stewardship programs

30
Q

What are the six principles of Reintroductions?

A
  1. Habitat
  2. Ecological Role
  3. Founders
  4. Captive Breeding
  5. Animal Welfare
  6. Sociological Considerations
