- This is Amali, an addax. She’s a new mother. Her calf Adeline is just three weeks old and she’s very important because addax are critically endangered. Native to the Sahara Desert, these creatures once roamed over vast stretches of North Africa. But the addax has been hunted nearly into oblivion. Luckily, reintroduction efforts and captive breeding programs are helping the survival of this species.

Souss Massa national Park in my country Morocco is growing their numbers for a future wildlife 👍🏽.
I see a video about the addax, but what I DON'T see is links to conservation agencies that are working to preserve the endangered species. What I DON'T see are ways to help this animal that you love oh so much.
The point of this video is to inform, for instance most people don't know about this animal, this video is meant to teach.
Just google it, lazybones.
they're repopulating in Rockein natural reserve in Morocco
Nice video
Can u not say the same thing on every video?
at least i watch the videos,What about you just hating,at least i support them.
Can't wait until humans are on the endangered list
sike
I could only hope , There’s way to many humans on this planet we are the ONLY overpopulated animal
All these poor, endangered animals. Our species is so cruel and selfish to the rest of natural. :(

You said it
In Texas my country they are thriving thanks to hunters and ranchers like me but I don’t see that in this video
Actually they were poached into almost extinction, that is slightly different to hunting...
J Pennington, of course it is just your opinion, but you have to realise that trophy hunting brings in big bucks to help maintain some wilderness areas. Many areas are not suitable for photo tourism and these areas and their wildlife are at risk if trophy hunting is banned. That would be a loss to the detriment of all species living there. The meat is not wasted btw, some is sold and some is given to local communities. Also I don’t see any of the so-called animal lovers forking out the kind of cash that is needed to maintain these areas. It is always someone else, like ‘the government’ who has to do that. So, let me give you an example. Let’s assume you have a job as a farmer and you export milk internationally. Now one day all the countries you export to ban milk products, because they claim these bad for you. Are you going to keep producing milk then? Probably not, unless you want to go broke, you might try your hand at goat rearing or whatever. The same holds true here, if it pays it stays. The only difference is that we are talking about wilderness areas here. If trophy hunting is banned out of some mistaken idea that it will save animals, those same ‘animal lovers’ are going to get a surprise. Those wilderness areas are going to be turned into farms (again) and everyone knows wildlife and life stock generally don’t go well together. Why do I say again? Because in many Southern African countries mostly cattle farms were turned into hunting areas, as it was lucrative to do so. Thus when the owners benefit and wilderness benefits. Yes, some animals will die, but that’s nature.
Now you have to ask yourself the question: Is it acceptable to me that some animals will die in a practice that is abhorrent to me, but which helps maintain wilderness areas? If so, you have proven to be a rational and mature human being. If not, sorry to say it, but you are part of the problem. Cheers.
I wonder are these animals in zoos.....🤔
Yes thankfully
@@andresparra114 they're repopulating in souss massa natural reserve back home in Morocco where they belong
and their numbers are growing steadily thankfully
@@titanhound6671 Amazing news, So good to hear! Thank you for sharing!
@@titanhound6671 But Zoos should still have those in worst case scenario
