Arabian Oryx Recovery Program

The Arabian Oryx Recovery Program is an effort to restore and protect the critically endangered Arabian Oryx, a desert antelope native to the Arabian Peninsula. Historically driven to near extinction by hunting and habitat loss, the program involves breeding oryx in captivity and gradually reintroducing them into protected areas. This conservation initiative aims to rebuild sustainable wild populations, ensuring their survival and ecological role. It combines wildlife management, habitat preservation, and international cooperation to recover the species and prevent its extinction.
