Père David's Deer (Elaphurus davidianus) is currently categorised on the IUCN Red List as ‘extinct in the wild'. The species has been extinct in the wild for nearly 800 years and can only be found in zoos, animal parks, and managed hunting ranches in the sate of Texas where it is a prized trophy. The Père David's Deer, named after a French missionary and zoologist Father David (Père David) was unknown to western science until the 1860's when Père David noticed them in a Chinese Imperial Hunting Park near Beijing, China. During the Boxer Rebellion at the turn of the century, the Chinese herd was exterminated (eaten) by occupying troops. However, the Chinese Emperor had previously agreed to send 18 animals to facilities in Europe with Père David, leaving the descendants of the animals in Europe as the only surviving members of the species. During the first decade of the 20th century, the 11th Duke of Bedford in the United Kingdom gathered the last 18 Père David’s Deer in the world to form a breeding herd at the Woburn Abbey Estate, England. Only 11 of these deer were capable of reproducing. Nevertheless, the heavily inbred Père David’s Deer safely passed though the genetic bottleneck of inbreeding and adopted the vast open parkland of an English country estate. In the mid 1980s, Père David’s Deer was re-introduced into captive facilities in China, and populations established first in Beijing and then in Dafeng, Shishou and Yuanyang. Père David’s Deer has been recovered from the brink of extinction and is regarded a classic example of how to rescue a highly threatened species from extinction - Should we kill animals to save them ? - To see more of my work and projects follow me here @chancellordavid and @ナショナルジオグラフィック @everydayextinction @thephotosociety #everydayextinction #fightingextinction #peredavidsdeer #texas #usa #trophyhunting #hunting #deer
