A Reference List For Plant Re-introductions, Recovery Plans and Restoration Programmes
The following reference list is a review of the available literature on plant re-introductions, recovery plans and restoration programs. Plant re-introductions are increasingly being used as a means of reinstating extirpated species, or to aid the recovery of severely reduced plant populations. Although re-introductions are generally a high risk, high cost exercise, they can play an important role in species conservation as well as in raising public awareness to the plight of both endangered taxa and their associated habitats. This reference list aims to provide those working in this field with a source of baseline information. [eng] |
