Biodiversity Conservation in Canada:
From Theory to Practice



Fig. 9.15b. The northern blazing star is a candidate for assisted migration because it has high habitat specificity and faces barriers to migration. The first step is to conduct transplantation trials. Shown here in a site in northern Alberta that is several hundred kilometres north of the species' current range. The objective of the trials is to determine the feasibility of assisted migration and to investigate the factors influencing translocation success. Credit: S. Nielsen.
