When this book was first published in 1989, attempts to reintroduce plants or animals into their native habitat were still relatively rare. This book explores the oryx extermination in the wild and being reintroduced to the wild from zoos. This book will be accessible to the informed conservationist, amateur or professional.
When this book was first published in 1989, attempts to reintroduce plants or animals into their native habitat were still relatively rare, and those that were adequately planned, designed, funded and monitored over the course of years are even scarcer. The oryx story is an exception to this, and has the added interest that it represents the first attempt to re-establish a wild population of a species when there were no others left outside captivity. This meant that zoo-bred animals had to be prepared for release into the oryx's extreme and demanding habitat in the deserts of central Oman. This book will be accessible to the informed conservationist, amateur or professional.
