Human networks of tetrapod translocations in the Western Cape, South Africa: trends and potential impacts on biodiversity

Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references. / Global trends show an increase in wildlife trade associated with the process of globalisation and increased international trade. In addition, biodiversity managers are increasingly turning to species translocations to achieve conservation goals. These human induced movements of wildlife have a number of potential impacts, one being the introduction of non-native species that may establish and become invasive. Although the underlying mechanisms are debated, it is accepted that invasive species are having detrimental effects on biodiversity worldwide.
