Project objectives

This project seeks to develop an emergency programme and a global conservation roadmap to safeguard the last wild addax population in the Termit Tin-Toumma National Nature Reserve. DNA analysis has demonstrated that this addax population, though relatively small, contains a wide genetic diversity that is not represented in the global captive population. Safeguarding the remaining animals, and their irreplaceable genetic material, is crucial to the long-term conservation of the species.

This project is implemented by Marwell Wildlife.
