From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Reintroduction is a process to realease animals into the wild, mostly of a species, which is endangered or extinct in the wild. Since the last one or two decades it was found out that many mammals and birds need to learn a lot before being able to survive in the wild. Therefore reintroduction programmes have to be planned carefully.
Ongoing or sucessful reintoduction programms:
- Lammergeier in the Alps, (sucessful)
- Griffon Vulture in the Massif Central in France, (sucessful)
- White-tailed Eagle in Scotland, (sucessful)
- Condor in the California, (ongoing)
- Wisent in Poland, Belarus, (sucessful) and other parts of Europe, (ongoing)
- European Beaver in several places in Europe, (sucessful),
- European Lynx in Switzerland, (sucessful), and other parts of Europe, (ongoing)
- Przewalski's Horse in Mongolia, (ongoing)
- Lesser White-fronted Goose in Sweden and Germany, (ongoing)
