EVALUATING ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR PERSIAN GAZELLE IN SOUTHERN MARKAZI PROVINCE, IRAN
Keywords:
Abstract
The Persian Gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) is a critically endangered species inhabiting the arid landscapes of Iran, facing multiple threats to its survival. This study aims to evaluate the ecological conditions and habitat suitability for the Persian Gazelle in the southern half of Markazi Province, Iran. Field surveys, satellite imagery analysis, and ecological modeling were employed to assess key factors influencing the species' habitat and distribution. Our findings provide valuable insights into the conservation of this endangered species and emphasize the importance of preserving and restoring suitable habitats.
