Scientists have found the number of animals moved to make way for building projects far outnumber science-led relocations to recover populations
The relocation of animals to make way for land development rarely succeeds and could be driving some species towards extinction, according to a new study.
An international team of scientists found that “mitigation translocations” – where animals were moved from the path of building projects – were “increasing rapidly” and far outnumbered instances of science-led relocations of animals to help recover populations.
