This past week, we were excited to release our 200th deer back to the wild in the Jerusalem Hills!
This is a major milestone in this important project.
In March, we released a total of 10 deer in two lots: five males and five females at the Nahal Sorek Nature Reserve.
The project is in partnership with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and we held a celebratory picnic after the release to celebrate the event.
Ariel Kedem, the Zoo’s Conservation Project Coordinator, reports that all the deer are doing well in the acclimatization enclosure and already next week, the gates to the enclosure will be opened and the deer will be free to go into the wild.
