Reintroductions and other Conservation Translocations w/ Dr. Philip Seddon

Join the Elakha Alliance and Defenders of Wildlife for a joint webinar focused on Reintroduction and Other Conservation Translocations. We were honored to have Dr. Philip Seddon, a renowned expert on wildlife reintroduction, join us as our guest speaker for this presentation. The webinar took place on Thursday May 11th, at 12:00pm PDT.
There is a long history of using reintroductions as a conservation tool, but more recently the spectrum of conservation translocations has been expanded to include riskier and more controversial “conservation introductions”. Conservation translocations of all types are increasingly applied as part of so-called rewilding projects, a term whose meaning has shifted and changed over time. This talk charts the history of reintroductions and reintroduction biology and seeks to place the project to restore sea otters to the Oregon coast within the rewilding/conservation translocation spectrum.
