THREAT: FRAGMENTATION
Mhorr gazelle, Nanger dama mhorr (CR)
This subspecies of the dama gazelle was once widespread
across the western Sahara. Now there are fewer than
300 damas combined in Mali, Chad, and Niger. Their range
is broken up by grazing lands for livestock, and they’re
at risk from hunting. Reintroduction of captive-bred
animals has had mixed success.
