UK Conservation Translocations Database

The UK Conservation Translocations Database is for anyone interested in conservation translocations. Conservation translocations are the intentional movement of fungi, plants and animals to achieve a conservation benefit for species or ecosystems.

Conservation translocations might include reintroduction programmes to restore threatened species, or the introduction of species into new regions to perform a particular ecological function to aid ecosystem recovery. These, and all other types of conservation translocations can be reported in this database.

The Database might be used in multiple ways:

  • People who are undertaking conservation translocations can use it as a platform to record their project details and find others working on similar projects.
  • Others might be interested in looking at what projects are happening in their local area.
  • The database will also be used to evaluate how well translocations are helping to address biodiversity loss.
