Reintroduction

재도입

Definition

The deliberate release of captive-bred or translocated organisms into their historical or suitable natural habitat.

Detailed Explanation

Successful reintroduction depends on addressing the original threat that caused the species' decline, not just releasing animals. Without protected habitat and reduced poaching or hunting pressure, reintroduced animals simply face the same fate. Wolves reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995 triggered cascading ecological benefits. Monitoring post-release survival, reproduction, and habitat use is essential for evaluating success.
