Assessing the ecosystem-wide risks of threatened species translocation

评估受威胁物种转移的全生态系统风险。该项目旨在开发第一个量化风险评估框架，以改进将受威胁物种转移到新地点的决策。将受威胁的动植物转移到新的环境中，或者重新引入它们以前存在的地方，这是越来越多的保护重点。物种的移动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生态系统范围的风险评估对于保护转移至关重要，但没有框架来评估这些风险并为这些决定提供信息。预计用于评估保护转移风险的新工具将改善全球和地方保护成果。

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.
