Assessing the ecosystem-wide risks of threatened species translocation. This project aims to develop the first quantitative risk assessment framework to improve decisions about moving threatened species to new places. Moving threatened plants and animals to new environments, or reintroducing them where they previously persisted, is a growing focus of conservation. Moving species can have unanticipated effects on other species in the ecosystem. Although the International Union for Conservation of Nature deems ecosystem-wide risk assessments essential for conservation translocations, no framework exists to assess these risks and inform these decisions. New tools for assessing the risks of conservation translocations are expected to improve global and local conservation outcomes.

评估受威胁物种易位的整个生态系统风险。该项目旨在开发第一个定量风险评估框架，以改进有关将受威胁物种转移到新地点的决策。将受威胁的植物和动物转移到新的环境，或将它们重新引入它们以前存在的地方，已成为保护工作日益关注的焦点。移动物种可能会对生态系统中的其他物种产生意想不到的影响。尽管国际自然保护联盟认为全生态系统风险评估对于保护易地至关重要，但不存在评估这些风险并为这些决策提供信息的框架。评估保护易地风险的新工具预计将改善全球和当地的保护成果。
