  • The expertise and authority of the editors, contributors, and sponsoring organization (Center for Plant Conservation) is unsurpassed
  • Contributors to the volume represent a broad array of ecosystems from around the world, including tropical and temperate and arid regions from different continents
  • The urgency of preserving species before they are extirpated due to a variety of causes, including a changing climate, makes this volume extremely well-timed
  • The contribution of restoration ecologists and practitioners to the debate about managed relocation as an adaptation strategy in the context of climate change is urgently needed and will advance the discussion

About this book

This volume presents a comprehensive review of reintroduction projects and practices, the circumstances of their successes or failures, lessons learned, and the potential role for reintroductions in preserving species threatened by climate change. Contributors examine current plant reintroduction practices, from selecting appropriate source material and recipient sites to assessing population demography.

The findings culminate in a set of Best Reintroduction Practice Guidelines, included in an appendix to the book. These guidelines cover stages from planning and implementation to long-term monitoring, and offer not only recommended actions but also checklists of questions to consider that are applicable to projects around the world.

Plant Reintroduction in a Changing Climate is a comprehensive and accessible reference for practitioners to use in planning and executing rare plant reintroductions.
