During a survey in Dana Nature Reserve (southwestern Jordan) carried out between November 1994 and January 1995, Nubian ibexes Capra nubiana were sighted twice on a cliff at Jebel Um-Suwwana in the Wadi Araba area. The low number of sightings and an assessment of range conditions throughout the study area suggest that the population is reduced to a low density and suffers from severe competition for food and range with goats. Further research needs are discussed in a conservation perspective.

Abstract
During a survey in Dana Nature Reserve (southwestern Jordan) carried out between November 1994 and January 1995, Nubian ibexes Capra nubiana were sighted twice on a cliff at Jebel Um-Suwwana in the Wadi Araba area. The low number of sightings and an assessment of range conditions throughout the study area suggest that the population is reduced to a low density and suffers from severe competition for food and range with goats. Further research needs are discussed in a conservation perspective.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
