Reintroduction programs were evaluated in the formal distribution as per the IUCN guidelines for reintroductions.

As per these guidelines, the reintroduction programs should lead to establish viable, self sustainable, free ranged of wild population, support the long-term conservation of the species.

Looking at the range states of the Arabian oryx (Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirate and Yemen; while Egypt and Qatar were excluded as there has been no confirm documentation of the Arabian oryx), I found that seven countries have started conservation programs on the species.

However, the reintroduction program at Uruq Bani Marid Protected Area in Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Oryx Protected Area has been successful to achieve the key objective on having a free ranging population of oryx in the wild.

Even with this success in having a free-range population, but with no effective protection and other constrains the reintroduction program was uncompleted.

Through this study, several reasons affecting these programs were identified.

Among these reasons the removal of the cause of decline.

In addition, there are other factors could play a major roles in success of the project such as; the effective and supportive management financially and politically during all stages of the project, with existing of scientific and technical support.
