Overview
UPSC often asks about the effectiveness, challenges, and specific examples of conservation strategies. Translocation is a prominent and often debated method for species revival and genetic health.
Wildlife translocation involves moving animals from one location to another, typically to establish new populations, augment existing ones, or restore species to areas where they have been extirpated. It is a critical tool in biodiversity conservation, especially for endangered species facing habitat fragmentation, genetic isolation, or population decline.
