The Oryx is considered one of the most remarkable and extraordinary ungulate species in the Arabian culture. In the 1950s, this creature was extinct from the wilderness in Jordan; however, an extraordinary long-term initiative commenced by the RSCN was established to re-introduce this species to the Shaumari Wildlife Reserve. The Arabian Oryx is the national animal of Jordan, thus this category’s name was chosen as such because of the importance of the projects it includes.
