What are important characteristics of adequate monitoring plans for translocation programs? Select all the correct options.
Select 3 correct answer(s)
Leaving released individuals aside and focusing on monitoring the population as a whole.
Avoid advertising the success of program to local communities so that released individuals are not bothered by curious people.
A long-term plan that involves monitoring the population over many years.
Monitoring the costs of the program so that cost-effective analysis can be made.
Monitoring other ecosystem elements beyond the released species, such as prey and vegetation.
So far we have discussed changing
