The Jerusalem Biblical Zoo continues its efforts in the Persian fallow-deer reintroduction project. Six deer have recently been released back to the wild. Tracking of the deer is conducted by radio-telemetry transmitters, giving us information about their well-being. The Persian fallow became extinct in Israel in the early 20th century. The Jerusalem Zoo joined the Persian fallow-deer conservation efforts in 1997, when the first individuals were brought to the Zoo to its "Biblical-Animals Land" exhibit. It was decided to start reintroducing Persian fallow-deer to the wild at the Kziv Stream Nature Reserve in the western Galilee wild. Today there are more than 200 deer in that area, making it the worlds' largest wild group. In recent years the Zoo and INNPPA initiated a second reintroduction project, this time at the Jerusalem Hills region. More than 40 deer have been released and we have received reports of spotted deer in areas such as: Ramat Raziel, Kiryat Ye'arim, Zur Hadassah, Sataf, and Mt. Eithan. We would be glad to hear of your reports: jeruzoo@jerusalemzoo.org.il.
