Abstract
Reintroductions are recognized tools for species
recovery. However, operations are costly, difficult
to implement, and failures are common and not
always understood. Their success for group-living
species depends on the mimicry of natural
processes that promote social integration. Due to
fragmented landscapes, human mediated (i.e.
artificial) group formation is often required.
