Abstract

A case study and appraisal of success of wild-to-wild translocations of the endangered Mallee Emu-wren. Translocations for this species were required because large wildfires were reducing the number of extant populations over decades. Ultimately, translocations were deemed "Partially Successful" - Survival rates during transport were high and birds bred and reared young following release. However, a new population failed to establish.
