A reintroduction program for this species was launched on Mt. Stolovi with the major goal of establishing and maintaining a viable population while allowing for sustainable management to partially offset the reintroduction costs. Based on a habitat suitability analysis, we developed a spatially-explicit metatpopulation model for growth under uncertainity and analyzed the risks associated with various management strategies. Our results show that a viable population cannot be maintained with exploitation for at least the first 15 years of population growth, while subsequent hunting pressure could be allowed with spatio-temporally varying rates dependent on deme abundance. At least two habitat corridors should be actively managed to allow for dispersal among demes. A number of alternatives are available to the local community to efficiently subsidize the maintenance costs of the established population.
