Welfare of translocated endangered animals in Australia
... Historically, as part of the conservation of some ‘at risk’ species, small groups of animals from a founder colony were captured and moved to what was believed to be a suitable habitat elsewhere. These translocations were an attempt to form new sustainable colonies to increase the probability of the ...

Habitat conservation
Habitat conservation is a land management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitat areas for wild plants and animals, especially conservation reliant species, and prevent their extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range. It is a priority of many groups that cannot be easily characterized in terms of any one ideology.
