"The Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC) plans to relocate 18 blackbucks to a 20-hectare enclosure in Tikauli, near Chitwan National Park. Conservationists express concerns regarding predation risks from tigers and leopards, as well as the suitability of the humid, monsoonal climate for the arid-adapted species. The project aims to establish an alternative population to ensure species survival against disease or disaster."

This book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the complexities of species translocation, habitat suitability, and the risks associated with establishing 'insurance populations' in conservation biology, which is central to the debate over the blackbuck project.
