Abstract:
This is the fifth issue in the Global Re-introduction Perspectives
series and has been produced in the same standardized format as
the previous four to maintain the style and quality. The case-studies
are arranged in the following order: Introduction, Goals, Success
Indicators, Project Summary, Major Difficulties Faced, Major
Lessons Learned, Success of Project with reasons for success or
failure. For the first issue I managed to collect 62 case-studies, the
second issue 72 case-studies, third issue 50 case-studies, fourth
issue 52 case-studies and this current issue has 54 case-studies.
There are now a total of 290 case-studies available in this format.
These case studies in this issue cover the following taxa as follows:
Invertebrates - 4
Fish - 3
Amphibians - 3
Reptiles - 6
Birds - 13
Mammals - 16
Plants - 9
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the various authors
for their patience and willingness to submit information on their
projects and in many cases with a tight deadline. A few promised
articles were not submitted by the last deadline and hopefully if we
do another issue we can present them there. We hope the
information presented in this book will provide a broad global
perspective on challenges facing re-introduction projects trying to
restore biodiversity.
