Dama Gazelles / Gazella dama ruficollis

In February 2003, AWWP received 2 male and 2 female Dama Gazelles (Gazella dama ruficollis) from three different North American zoological facilities. The first offspring was born in August 2003. Since then birth takes place regularly. This is an important contribution to the survival of this critically endangered North African desert gazelle. The main threat of the largest representative of the genus Gazella is hunting.
