Summary

Long-term monitoring of reintroduced populations may: inform ongoing management decisions for the focal population, such as supplementary feeding or harvesting; make it possible to predict the future viability of small populations, and therefore the need for genetic management; inform site selection for further reintroductions, for example by showing how survival and reproduction rates vary with climatic conditions; facilitate our ability to ability to predict population dynamics at new reintroduction sites, for example by informing values for parameters that can be estimated only from long-term data; and improve our understanding of the dynamics of reintroduced populations, so future monitoring and management can focus on the key factors affecting persistence.
