Nowadays, the Nubian ibex is extinct along most of its original range and is listed by the IUCN Red List as “Vulnerable”. In 2015, the SBR started a process for the reintroduction of the Nubian ibex in the Shouf-West Beqaa Landscape, in partnership with Istituto Oikos, an Italian NGO with a solid track record of work on ibex reintroduction. This was the first operation of its kind in the history of Lebanon, a country from which the Ibex had disappeared at the beginning of the 20th century. After a field assessment of the conditions for the reintroduction, a small founding herd of Nubian ibex was translocated from Wadi Rum Protected Area in Jordan to a fenced acclimation area in the eastern part of the SBR in October 2017. The 12 heads that arrived in their new home are increasing yearly by number. In 2022, a small herd was transferred during the past week from Anaa to the Khreibeh area. The goal is to support the monitoring and reproduction of the Ibex. and the first reintroduction in a suitable habitat of the Reserve is foreseen sometimes in the next couple of years
