The Persian fallow deer (Dama mesopotamica) is a deer species once native to all of the Middle East, but currently only living in Iran and Israel. It was reintroduced in Israel. It has been listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2008.[1] After a captive breeding program, the population has rebounded from only a handful of deer in the 1960s to over a thousand individuals.
