Assisted Migration

Ecologists worldwide agree that climate change is anthropogenic. History has shown drastic decreases in carbon output during times of mass die-offs such as The Black Death or the Mongol Invasions. The post-industrial world in which we live has altered Earth's atmosphere so drastically with industrial gases that the planet now retains more heat. This increase in prolonged temperature obviously translates to shifts in ecosystems, climates, and micro-climates. Without going into unnecessary detail, it is clear that many species are in danger of running out of room. 

Assisted migration may be a species' only option for survival in our anthropogenically altered world. I believe (although seemingly contradictory to my opinion to radical rewilding) that this is an important measure that should be taken. The difference between radical rewilding and assisted migration is that the rewilding of an area is based on a historical baseline that may no longer be relevant, and assisted migration is an evolutionary boost to those species who may not be able to move as fast as climate change. Although I have stated that death is a necessary part of any life cycle, species needn't die at the hands of another, especially when that species is conscious of its actions.
