Is transplanting endangered species into cities a good way to preserve them?

One of the reasons that protection programs for specific endangered species are effective is that they need to protect their habitats, and thus protect many other species that live there — even species that we don't know about.

To save one species by transplanting it elsewhere is not going to have this effect. At best it would save the one species that gets transplanted.
