Abstract
The recent surge of interest in the use of reintroduction, especially of captive-bred animals, as a conservation tool, has resulted in two recent reviews of the subject (Jones, 1990; Gipps, 1991) and the formation of a Re-introduction Specialist Group (RSG) of the Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and a Reintroduction Advisory Group (RAG) for the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums (AAZPA).
