6 donkeys from the breeding center in Carmel were released in the Upper Galilee - voila! tourism. The Persian donkey became extinct in Israel and was reintroduced in an amazing story that involves determination, great efforts and not a little luck.
A GPS collar was attached to the females in order to study their survival and movement pattern. After a year the collar falls off and is recycled for reuse. In Israel about 300-400 individuals of the Persian horse were once common in dense forests in the eastern Mediterranean.
