Through this project, we aim to secure the future of the critically endangered dama gazelle through advanced genetics research and coordinated global conservation efforts. This initiative responds to the urgent need to protect one of the world’s rarest antelope species, with fewer than 200 individuals remaining in the wild, while reinforcing the importance of international collaboration in biodiversity conservation.

The project builds on Al Ain Zoo’s leadership in conservation breeding by developing a comprehensive genomics and biobanking framework. This will support informed breeding and reintroduction strategies, enhance genetic diversity, and contribute to the long-term survival and recovery of the species.
