Dear colleagues

The call for manuscripts for the Special issue of Frontiers in Conservation Science Human Dimensions of Animal Translocations has now been extended to the 22^nd of August 2021. There is still time to submit your paper.

Human dimension issues are commonly overseen or treated lightly in conservation translocation projects, even though the success or failure of the project is intimately tied to community involvement, peers’ acceptance and the support from interest groups. The IUCN/SSC CTRG Human-Wildlife Interactions Working Group and members from an international community of practitioners, researchers and academics have been discussing these issues for the last 3 years. We have discussed topics such as positive and negative aspects of human-wildlife interactions, the effect of domestic and feral dogs on conservation translocations, seeking support of religious leaders, ethical issues involved in reintroduction into anthropogenic landscapes, involving all interest groups in project planning and stewardship, and exit strategies.

We would like to invite you to submit a manuscript to this special issue. We are looking for case studies, research or conceptual pieces about reintroductions and other conservation translocations that focus on the relationships between people and wildlife. Themes to consider are how to investigate, measure and include the various aspects of human dimensions into a reintroduction project from its planning and implementation to the exit stages. We hope to include a wide array of topics concerning human-wildlife interactions in conservation translocations. To submit your paper, and for more information please visit the Human Dimensions of Animal Translocations page in Frontiers in Conservation Science. Please note that we are in negotiations with the publishers about a reduction in publication fees.
