A full-day workshop specifically for those working in the Australian translocation space. A range of issues will be discussed including understanding predator thresholds for release (and opportunities for standardised monitoring), long term sustainability of populations within fenced reserves, indigenous involvement in translocations, species composition/order of reintroductions, and practical options for protecting translocated populations from climate change. The workshop will include an informal talk by a translocation ecologist on each theme followed by an open discussion. The workshop is primarily seen as an opportunity to learn and collaborate but publications may be produced from conference outcomes.
