WNAM Monitoring: The government of Azerbaijan has given Georgia 16 gazelles, which were released in the protected area of Samukh named after Nugzar Zazanashvili (Kakheti, Dedoplistskaro district).
The first generation, ten gazelles, were brought from Shirvan National Park. At the moment, 300 gazelles live in the protected area of Samukh.
An endangered species of gazelle is being restored in Georgia. The project aimed at restoring the gazelle population has been implemented by the Protected Areas Agency and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) since 2013.
In the words of the WWF, “We are working to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife”. The gazelle’s return to Georgia is a testament to this mission. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the power of concerted conservation efforts. It is a story that needs to be told, for it holds the key to our shared future on this planet.
