Bruno Colas¹ and François Sarrazin² are the project promoters and coordinators.

François Sarrazin first raised the idea of developing a translocation database and translocation guidelines combining plants and animals in the early 2010’s.

Bruno Colas devised the structure of the database (information fields and lists of possible responses) and wrote the texts and definitions with insightful contributions from Paul Acker¹, Aris Deimezis¹, Iris Le Roncé^1,3, Bertrand Schatz³, Chloé Malaisé¹, Sarra Ferjani^1,4, Anaël Mayeur¹, Mohamed Diallo¹, Anne-Charlotte Vaissière¹, Alexandre Robert², François Sarrazin.

Sarra Ferjani took care of all computational issues, including the computing architecture of the database, the interrelationship with external taxonomic and geographical databases, the design and implementation of the web site, query procedures, etc.
