Memphis Zoo helps save North America’s rarest snake
 

I had no idea only so few were left in the wild.

Thats a good read. I did not know that.

I wonder what type of region they're releasing the introduced animals to. Since their normal habitat has been destroyed.

Most likely they will be released into a safe, monitored habitat similar to their normal region. It's probably a good thing not to divulge that specific information to the public for the safety of the snake and success of the program.
