The population of Iranian fallow deer has nearly quadrupled thanks to favorable conditions and successful breeding programs at the Rashkan Site inside Lake Urmia National Park, according to Iran's IRNA news agency.
Local officials in West Azarbaijan Province said 22 deer currently live at the site, including five born this year, marking a significant recovery for the endangered species at this particular location.
To further protect the species, breeding centers dedicated to Iranian fallow deer have also been established in other parts of Iran, expanding conservation efforts beyond the original Lake Urmia site.
The Iranian fallow deer has long been considered endangered, making population gains such as this one notable for conservationists working to secure the species' long-term survival.
