| Abstract: | In this chapter, we discuss reintroduction, via translocation, of native fauna into longleaf pine forests. We focus on rare species, including those considered "sensitive," "of special concern," or "candidates" for listing by conservation groups, or state or federal agencies, and on species federally listed as either "threatened" or "endangered" under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. We cover our topic in four main sections. First, we provide a brief background on the broad concept of reintroductions and translocations as a species-conservation tool. Second, we use the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) as a case study to outline how this regional program has succeeded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
