Wildlife reintroduction site selection requires considering not only a species' ecology but also socio-political factors that may impact conservation efforts. These socio-political dimensions may be essential for endangered carnivore reintroductions on private lands in the United States, where landowner support for the reintroduction is necessary given landowner concerns about ecological and legal impacts of carnivore restoration.
