reintroduction is fascinating conservation technique and process. The reintroduction efforts are becoming and more successful, but places where you can reintroduce wild animals are becoming fewer and fewer, obviously. The vast majority of bird of prey reintroductions have been successful. But a few years ago, one would have to say that the majority of reintroductions were unsuccessful. Moreover, there were very few good records being kept, that has changed, much better job record keeping and much better job of reintroduction. Some of that has come about because of the good work of the people at the Lincoln park zoo in Chicago, who have focused on this effort and conducted scientific meetings, having to do with reintroduction in a very constructive fashion. There have been of course, many reintroductions, everything from the American bison or buffalo, which profited from animals from the Bronx Zoo, many, many years ago to Mongolian wild horses, whooping cranes, the condors we’ve mentioned. The list of reintroductions, black-footed ferret, is as long as your arm.
