Greetings from Jerusalem!
In the past months, we have analysed the trail camera data from the "hot-spots" in the nature reserves and have been encouraged to see, for the first time in the project, evidence of at least two unmarked females with fawns.
This means that we now have a third generation in the wild. This is very exciting news and shows the ongoing success of the project.
We have recorded at least 25 separate sightings of fawns photographed by five different cameras at five different locations. In addition to the offspring of the unmarked females mentioned above, we have also identified another four fawns.
During the upcoming year, we plan to continue the tracking of the population, with attention shifting to trail-cameras and GPS technology. GPS collars will be key to accurate data collection and planning for the next stage of this project.
This coming winter, we plan to release a further seven females into the wild .
Thank you for being part of this important project. Your contributions make you partners in this success!
