The reintroduction marks the second phase of 'Al Reem 2', a major initiative aimed at restoring native species to their natural habitats and boosting biodiversity.
The Arabian sand gazelle, locally known as Al Reem, is a vulnerable species native to the Arabian Peninsula, with small wild populations surviving in southern Bahrain and across the Gulf.
