About Yotvata Hai-Bar

Yotvata Hai-Bar is a wildlife reserve established to breed and reintroduce extinct biblical animals to the Negev Desert. The reserve focuses on breeding endangered and locally extinct species mentioned in the Bible, including the Arabian oryx, Persian fallow deer, and Somali wild ass. It serves as both a breeding and acclimation center where animals are prepared for release into the wild.
