  • Résumé

  • From their camp on the shore of The Indian Ocean last night, today the Jewel of Arabia team headed inland to Jiddat al-Harasis. A 3000km2 reserve working to protect, breed and reintroduce the Arabian Oryx to Oman.

    In Bertram Thomas’s time the Arabian Oryx was fairly widespread. But the Oryx become a prized trophy for hunters. Numbers fell almost to extinction in the wild. A captive breeding programme was started and in April 1984, 11 captive breed Arabian Oryx were reintroduced to the desert of Jiddat al-Harasis.

    Through expedition team member Dikra, Mark talks to the Said bin Nasser Al Harsoosi about his role as a ranger and reveals that today the population stands at over 720 individuals.
