Ensc 320 lecture 18 nov 16 2017. Reinforcement/supplementation: may be a useful tool, where it is feared that a small population is becoming dangerously inbred. If possible do this to avoid stochastic events: some common reasons identified for success were, good captive rearing techniques. Increased socio-political awareness and cultural acceptance: some reasons for partial success or failure were, reintroductions were done haphazardly, no post-release monitoring, slow reproduction rates, poor habitat quality. October and released in spring (if not reproducing) or summer (if successful reproduction occurred) Hard release: released directly to the wild without prior conditioning to the site, frequently the case with translocation of wild-captured individuals, many alleviate stress associated with captivity at release site.
