Translocate to re-establish or boost populations in native range
A study in 2001–2003 in agricultural fields and mixed woodland in a mountain range in Fundão, Portugal (Carvalho et al. 2008) found that most translocated roe deer Capreolus capreolus survived more than two years after release. At least five out of seven translocated roe deer (71%) survived more than two years after release. One was found dead and the radio-transmitted of another stopped working. In winter 2001, fourteen adult roe deer were released into a 50-km2 area. Roe deer had been absent for the area for more than a century. Seven of the 14 deer were radio-tagged. Tagged animals were located daily during summer 2002 (May–September) and winter 2002–2003 (November–March).
