Abstract: Trade in Arabian oryx, which are being poached from the wild and sold to illegally to private collectors, is threatening the long-standing oryx conservation project in Oman. Following a recent population crash caused by poaching, the project organizers have taken 40 animals back into captivity — where, if need be, they can form a breeding herd should wild oryx once again be wiped out in Oman.
