By: Norman Ali Bassam Khalaf Published in “Gazelle: The Palestinian Biological Bulletin” Homepage, 2001 “These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat. The deer and the gazelle, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat and the addax, and the bison, and the wild sheep” (Old Testament: Book of Deuteronomy 14: 4-5). The Mesopotamian or Persian fallow deer (Dama dama mesopotamica) is considered to be one of the rarest species of deer in the world; overhunting brought this species to the verge of extinction worldwide. It was seen on Mount Tabor and in Upper Galilee in Palestine in the nineteenth century, and was at that time on the verge of extinction. It has completely disappeared from Palestine since. In fact, in the early 1950s it was thought to be extinct, but in 1956 a very small herd, estimated at 25 animals, was discovered in Iran. In 1978, four fallow deer were brought to Occupied Palestine and placed in Hai Bar Carmel together with two more Persian fallow deer acquired from zoos in Europe the previous year (Griver, 2001; Khalaf, Gazelle Homepage, 2001). The six animals formed the nucleus of a breeding core, and with the care and devotion of the Hai Bar staff, the Persian fallow deer quickly flourished. By 1996, its population had swelled to more than 150, by far the largest herd anywhere in the world. Since that year, ten deer have been transported twice a year from Hai Bar Carmel to a 10-hectare enclosure with rich vegetation within the Kziv Reserve in the Northern Galilee. The animals are kept in the reserve for three months before being released into the neighboring countryside. During the brief period in the enclosure, they become accustomed to their new environment and become independent of artificial feeding. Before being released, all the females and several males are fitted with radio collars. This enables the Israel Nature and National Parks Protection Authority (INNPPA) to track the deer after they are released into the wild. In this manner, the herd's progress can be monitored and any factors threatening its existence can be quickly traced. Over the past five years, the INNPPA's experts have been learning how the deer have adjusted to their new environment by studying their patterns of movement and preferred habitat (Griver, 2001). Based on the data accrued, the INNPPA has been able to improve its reintroduction program, acquire basic information for future management of the Persian fallow deer population, and project the distribution and success of the future wild population. Biologists have also added to what they already knew about the Persian fallow deer: their average weight and height is 150 kilograms and 100 centimeters respectively, their life span about 16 years and their gestation period seven and a half months, producing a single fawn. The first fawns were born in the wild in the spring of 1997 (Griver, 2001; Khalaf, Gazelle Homepage, 2001). By the summer of 2000, ten bi-annual releases had taken place, making a total population of more than 100 fallow deer in northern Galilee. An additional 150 deer Gazelle : The Palestinian Biological Bulletin – Number 191 – November 2020


continue living in Hai Bar Carmel. Estimates are that by the year 2005, there will be nearly 200 fallow deer living in the wild. In 2002, the reintroduction effort will shift to eastern Galilee and the Jerusalem mountains (Griver, 2001; Khalaf, Gazelle Homepage, 2001). As a direct result of this program, Persian fallow deer have been successfully reintroduced to the wild, once again becoming part of the country's landscape. However, aside from the reintroduced population in Occupied Palestine, both in the wild and Hai Bar Carmel, there are thought to be no more than 15 Persian fallow deer still alive in the wild in Iran and several hundred more in captivity in zoos worldwide. Therefore, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) still lists this rarest of deer as a critically endangered species (Griver, 2001; Khalaf, Gazelle Homepage, 2001).
