Return of the Arabian oryx to Oman sparks desert revival
Bedouin Harasis tribesmen study hoofprints as the White Oryx Project reintroduces captive-bred oryx to the Jiddat plateau in Oman. More than 100 oryx roam the desert, with a goal of 300 self-sufficient wild animals by decade's end. The effort supports local employment and a desert community center at the project base camp.
