reintroduction
Reintroduction refers to the process of returning a species to an area where it once lived but has since disappeared, usually due to threats like habitat loss or hunting. Conservationists carefully select suitable habitats, prepare the environment, and sometimes breed animals in captivity before releasing them. The goal is to restore natural populations, support ecological balance, and enhance biodiversity. Reintroductions require careful planning to ensure the species can survive and thrive without causing unforeseen problems in the ecosystem.
