Acclimatisation societies were voluntary associations in the 19th and 20th centuries that encouraged the introduction of non-native species in various places around the world, in the hope that they would acclimatise and adapt to their new environments. The societies were formed during the colonial era, when Europeans began to settle in unfamiliar locations. One motivation for the activities of the acclimatisation societies was that introducing new species of plants and animals (mainly from Europe) would enrich the flora and fauna of a region. The movement also sought to establish plants and animals that were familiar to Europeans, while also bringing exotic and useful foreign plants and animals to European centres.

  • 順化協会(じゅんかきょうかい、英語名:Acclimatization society)は、他地域の動植物を移入することで、その地域の生物相を第一次産業的及び植民地経営の視点から利益が上がるように改変するために創設された親睦団体。主に19世紀に活動し、今日世界各地の生態系に大きな負の遺産を残した。 (ja)

  • Als Akklimatisationsgesellschaft bezeichnet man Vereine oder Organisationen, die sich zum Ziel gesetzt haben, die bestehende Fauna und Flora durch die Ausbringung von Pflanzen (sogenannte Ansalbung) oder die Auswilderung von Tieren zu „bereichern“. Akklimatisationsgesellschaften sind vor allem ein Phänomen des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Ihr Wirken ist vor allem für die Geschichte Australiens, Neuseelands, aber auch für Nordamerika typisch. Allerdings ist nicht jede dort eingeführte Tierart auf das Wirken von Akklimatisationsgesellschaften zurückzuführen. Viele Tierarten – wie beispielsweise die Wildkaninchen in Australien – wurden durch die Initiative Einzelner eingeführt und ausgewildert. (de)
  • Una sociedad de aclimatación era una organización creada con el fin de enriquecer la biodiversidad de una región concreta con animales y plantas de otras partes del mundo. La primera de estas sociedades fue La Société Zoologique d'Acclimatation fundada en París en 1854 por Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Estas sociedades se extendieron rápidamente por el mundo, especialmente en la colonias europeas de América y Australasia. En muchos casos realizaban una doble tarea: estudiaban la historia natural e introducían especies. (es)
