Two beautiful guests from Iran 🦌
This morning, a park ranger in the Biram National Park in the Galilee region of northern Israel encountered a beautiful sight. Two Iranian gazelles, likely having come from a natural reserve adjacent to the park.
In the years leading up to the revolution, the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority began negotiations with the Shah's government to bring a few of these gazelles to Israel for conservation purposes. Simultaneously, Israel received two male gazelles from Germany, which had previously been transferred from Iran for protection.
Just before Khomeini's arrival, and on the last flight from Tehran to Tel Aviv, four female Iranian gazelles were transferred to Israel with the help of General Manouchehr Khosrowdad, as promised by the Shah's government. Today, several herds of Iranian gazelles live in the Carmel Mountains in Israel and are under protection.
