The preservation and reintroduction of animals from the Bible is one of Israel's priorities in relation to nature protection. This is shown in the creation of more than three hundred National Parks and Nature Reserves where desert (gazelles and bustards), semi-desert and mountainous species have been preserved thanks to the prohibition of hunting.
