Dama Gazelle Conservation and Research Programme

The elegant Dama Gazelle is the largest Gazelle species in the world. Once found across a vast area of the Sahara and Sahel, it has disappeared from more than 99% of its former range due to uncontrolled hunting, habitat loss and overgrazing. There are now less than 100 Dama Gazelles left in the wild, isolated in four tiny populations, making it Critically Endangered. It is now one of the world’s most endangered mammal species.
