During 1996-1999, the population of the Arabian oryx in the wild in Oman has fallen from 400 to 100. In 1999, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) stated that the Arabian oryx may go extinct in the wild in Oman after their reintroduction into the wild. Having the law or provisions in the law is not sufficient to prevent hunting and the decrease of the population of animals, enforcement shall be present too together with the proper management, monitoring, and prosecution.Ĭurrently, animal protection organizations, conservation groups, zoos, and private institutions, are working on saving this species from going extinct in the wild again. Those countries with rural areas where people have no access to other food than hunting wild animals are ignoring the issue of the lack of proper management both among the public and the government. Hunting is another issue that is present in almost all countries around the world that cannot be properly monitored and regulated. And since it is impossible to control the weather, there is a possibility not to contribute to climate change by eliminating animal agriculture that remains the major reason for the climate crisis. Many antelope species are more susceptible to such extreme weather conditions as droughts that dramatically impact and decrease their population. Climate change leaves unbearable and horrifying consequences, such as wildfires, ice storms, droughts, under which all animals, including human and nonhuman animals, suffer. Serious changes in climate may lead to a fatal outcome for the planet. Unfortunately, there are still people and regions across the globe where these concerns are not properly considered. The climate change issue that affects not only animals and the environment but also us, humans, shall be taken into account more seriously. Because these animals are dependent on temperature, any changes in climate can impact their living conditions and the population. Overgrazing and droughts also threaten the Arabian oryx. But the reason for them becoming extinct was mainly hunting for their meat, hides, and horns. One of the greatest threats to these animals is the climate crisis. However, they face many threats from human activities and they become vulnerable due to inhabiting a particular part of the world. The Arabian oryx is considered the national animal of Jordan, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar.
