Current Status
Currently, there are two populations of Persian fallow deer born native to the wild which are located in the Karkeh and Dez wildlife refuges in Iran; additionally, there are several reintroduced populations in Iran and Israel. As a result of conservation efforts thus far, the current world population of the Persian fallow deer is estimated to be approximately 365 individuals. Due to the most pressing concerns affecting the current populations of Persian fallow deer, future conservation efforts should focus on genetic studies, protecting the habitat of the deer, and releasing more deer into the reintroduction areas.
