The range of the Dama Gazelle falls on some of the
poorest countries in Africa, and consequently little
action is being taken to conserve this species.
The Mhorr Gazelle, that is a subspecies of Dama Gazelle,
no longer exists in the wild. But they are reproducing
very well in a number of zoos worldwide. Ex situ breeding
and reintroduction programmes are the Mhorr Gazelles
only hope for survival.
