摘要

Like most of the wild ungulates that were once widespread in North Africa, populations of the Barbary sheep Ammotragus lervia have declined as result of overhunting and habitat fragmentation, and the species is now categorized as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. The Barbary sheep, or aoudad, occurred historically in the mountains of central and southern Tunisia, but threats to its persistence across the country have been noted for more than half a century (H.W. Schomber D. Kock, , African Wildlife, , –.). Today, a reintroduced population of Barbary sheep reportedly persists in the Chambi National Park, some individuals have been released into the protected confines of the Oued Dekouk National Reserve, and small numbers are held in captivity at various locations. There is, however, little information about the status of the species across most of its supposed range in Tunisia, and at a workshop in May , organized by the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation, with the support of Tunisia’s Forestry Directorate and Ministry of Environment, to discuss the conservation of Barbary sheep in Tunisia, participants acknowledged the need to gather more data about this species.
