If we don’t start doing some experiments on assisted migration soon, and learning from those experiments in the spirit of active adaptive management, it will be too late for many species. Conservationists are too conservative.

Conservation translocations are a commonly used method to help species that are declining. When undertaken because of climate change they are called #assistedmigration or AM. We found AM to be surprisingly uncommon bit.ly/374tLKe (1/n) @cyclonewatson @HugePossum

From wildebeest herds churning dust to shorebirds flying from Siberia, these iconic animal migrations could soon be a memory. As researchers from @UQ_News write, human exploitation of migratory species is the main reason why they are in decline. theconversation.com/the-worl…

The world’s spectacular animal migrations are dwindling. Fishing, fences and development are...
