ADOPT A RED DEER, SUPPORT OUR WORK!
Our ultimate goal is to restore the population of the Caucasian Red Deer in Armenia. For that purpose we have built a dedicated Breeding Center at the Dilijan National Park, where we breed the deer, take care of them and release into the nature once they are ready.
In 2022 we released the first 3 individuals and will be releasing 5- 10 deer each year. Your symbolic adoption supports our work and gives us the means to continue.
At the same time, in Armenia, together with our partners, we are building awareness on the necessity for the coexistence of people with wildlife, maintaining a precious balance. Another major threat to that balance is wildlife crime and we are doing our best to stop it.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE RED DEER
In WWF we use tracking collars to monitor Red Deer movements and collect baseline data like home range sizes, behavior and diet. The collars are designed to minimize impact on the animals’ behavior and to maximize their detectability.
The first 14 individuals of the Red Deer were brought to Armenia from the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2018 in the scope of the Red Deer Reintroduction Project. Since then 21 fawns had already been born in the Center.
