translocating
Shifting between places
Translocating is the present participle of translocate, meaning to move something from one place to another.
The term appears most often in scientific contexts: biologists describe how cells translocate proteins across membranes, or how wildlife managers translocate endangered species to new habitats.
The team is translocating wolves from Canada to Yellowstone.
