Rescuing Wildlife
“Wildlife relocation or rescue programs are a
conservation tool aimed at reducing the loss of genetic
variability that occurs in threatened species by the
reduction and/or disappearance of their populations.
and their gene pool, than at saving entire populations,
although the greater the number of individuals
captured and relocated, the greater the chance will be
the population.”
The San Francisco Mine Department of Environmental Control launched its Wildlife Rescue and Relocation
program aimed at rescuing the greatest possible number of individual animals from endangered species
inhabiting the area, as well as relocating them to a similar environment. The program is focused on threatened
groups of vertebrates and low-mobility species, such as amphibians, reptiles, and micromammals.
Rescuing Plant Life
The San Francisco Mine Department of Environmental Control launched its Plant Life Rescue and Relocation
program, which seeks to preserve the genetic variability of the most important or most representative plant
species of the Sonora desert ecosystem.
It is worth mentioning that plant life rescues are carried out on young species under 1.50 meters tall in order
to increase the survival rate of the relocated plants. Another means of reaching this goal is to produce plants
and transplant them to areas that are impacted by industrial and livestock activities.
