Reintroduction of Captive-born Animals

This paper explores the extent to which reintroduction of captive-born animals is being used as a conservation strategy, the extent to which zoos are participating, the success of reintroduction, and some characteristics of these reintroduction programmes as they relate to success. This paper does not provide guidelines for reintroduction; see Kleiman, Stanley Price and Beck (Chapter 14) for guidelines.
