The gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) is a charismatic and popular species. It has occupied a unique place in the literature, folklore and art of the Azerbaijani people since ancient times. Less than a century ago, herds of gazelles happily grazed in the lowlands and foothills of the southern Caucasus. According to scientists, fossils of gazelles in the Caucasus date back two million years. The gazelle was one of the main preys of Stone Age man, which is clearly implied by the many petroglyphs found in ancient dwelling places.
From a historical perspective, the reality is simply unbelievable: the stock of gazelles in the eastern Caucasus during the first half of the last century declined from tens of thousands to 200 specimens in the 1960s. A major cause of this dramatic decline of the gazelle populations was hunting and poaching, but almost as much harm was done by the intensive exploitation of the surrounding valleys. This all led to the almost total extinction of this charismatic animal in the Caucasus.
Thanks to the "Reintroduction of gazelles to their historical habitat areas in Caucasus" project launched in 2010, important measures have been taken to increase the number of this animal. The project is implemented by the Ministry Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan, International Dialogue for Environmental Action (IDEA) and the Azerbaijan office of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
