Chapter 8: Rare and Threatened Plant Conservation Translocations: Lessons Learned and Future Directions
Introduction
Lessons Learned
Select a Suitable Recipient Site
Use a Large Number of Founding Plants
Use Genetically Diverse Foundation Plants
Promote Germination and Survival and Provide Aftercare
Monitor Over a Sufficient Time to Establish and Document Evidence of Population Sustainability
Use Appropriate Benchmarks to Measure Conservation Translocation Success
Establish Continual Monitoring of Plants for Disease and for Disease Prevention.

Understand That Establishing a Population via Conservation Translocation Is a Long-Term Process
Conduct the Conservation Translocation as an Experiment
Follow a Set of Clear Guidelines for the Conservation Translocation, and Publish Results to Benefit Reintroduction Science
Engage Policymakers, Practitioners, and the Public in Conservation Translocation Initiatives
