Translocation is not the best solution to a threatened population in an area. This is because the new environment will create a number of problems for the animals. A number of factors has to be taken into consideration to ensure the survival of the species. Such factors include a suitable habitat, food source, predator-prey factor and inter and intra-specific competition.
