Is use of translocation for the conservation of subpopulations of oribi Ourebia ourebi (Zimmermann) effective? A case study

摘要: In South Africa, the oribi, Ourebia ourebi is an endangered small antelope that requires conservation management and intervention to prevent their extinction. Use of translocation for subpopulations facing local extinction in wild has been proposed. this study, fifteen oribi from threatened populations were captured released (November 2004) on a private game reserve KwaZulu-Natal, Africa. Radio telemetry was used monitor dispersal survival translocated oribi. Only one death occurred during period. All other survived, most remained close proximity release site more than year postrelease. Reproduction also occurred. This suggests that, could be viable option conserving assuming factors, such as availability suitable grassland habitat poaching curtailed, are met. Resume En Afrique du Sud, l’oribi est une petite antilope en danger qui requiert gestion de la et pour empecher son On propose le recours conserver les sous-populations confrontees locale dans nature. Dans cadre cette etude, 15 oribis menacees ont ete captures etre relâches, novembre 2004, faune privee au Sud. La radio-telemetrie utilisee suivre dispersion survie des deplaces. Il n’y eut qu’un mort pendant periode. Tous autres relâches survecu, plupart sont restes proximite lâcher plus d’un an. y aussi reproductions. Ceci suggere que peut preservation sauvages d’oribis, autant d’autres facteurs soient presents, comme disponibilite d’habitats prairies favorables, braconnage soit sous controle.
