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.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“But human experience is usually paradoxical, that means incongruous with the phrases of current talk or even current philosophy.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
