Stanley Price, Mark. R. Animal Re-Introductions: the Arabian Oryx in Oman.
1st. Ed. Pub. C.U.P. 1989 pp.xix, 291 with illus, graphs and tables. 8vo. With signature of naturalist Mark Carwardine. Fine hardback in fine dw.
When this book was first published in 1989, attempts to reintroduce plants or animals into their native habitat were still relatively rare, and those that were adequately planned, designed, funded and monitored over the course of years are even scarcer. The oryx story is an exception to this, and has the added interest that it represents the first attempt to re-establish a wild population of a species when there were no others left outside captivity. This meant that zoo-bred animals had to be prepared for release into the oryx's extreme and demanding habitat in the deserts of central Oman.
