Translocation is probably one of the best studied and established conservation actions (Seddon, Strauss & Innes, 2012). Most anthropogenic threats – including invasive species, disease or climate change – directly or indirectly disturb habitat quality and availability for species (Ayyad, 2003), and the idea that we can move threatened populations out of harm's way is very attractive. Translocations have a rich history of both successes and failures.
