Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi Achim

The Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi Achim Reserve is one of the largest protected areas in Africa and is home to several endangered antelope species such as addax, scimitar-horned oryx and dama gazelle. This is the only place in the wild where these species can be observed together. The scimitar-horned oryx is an antelope that was extinct in the wild for over twenty years until its reintroduction in 2016. In October 2023, we recorded over 500 oryx for the first time. In December, the scimitar-horned oryx was downlisted by IUCN from extinct in the wild to endangered.
