About

Human dimension issues are commonly overseen or treated lightly in translocation projects, even though the success or failure of the project is intimately tied to community involvement, peer’s acceptance, and stakeholder support. An international group of scientists have been discussing these issues for the last 2 years in an ad hoc group of the IUCN’s Conservation Translocations Specialist Group.

We have discussed topics such as positive and negative aspects of human-wildlife interactions, the effect of domestic and feral dogs on conservation translocations, seeking support of religious leaders, ethical issues involved in reintroduction into anthropogenic landscapes, involving all stakeholders in project planning and stewardship, and exit strategies.

Themes to consider are how to measure and include the various aspects of human dimensions into a project from its planning and implementation to the exit stages. We plan to write one article as a group, invite specialists from several topics to submit contributions and open for other colleagues to send contributions in these areas.
