Scimitar-Horned Oryx DayOn August 16, get ready to not only celebrate a beautiful species of oryx, but a ground-breaking conservation success story; one of many instigated by the zoo community. Once Extinct-in-the-Wild due to overhunting, overgrazing and desertification, the scimitar-horned oryx became re-established in the plains of Tunisia thanks to the incredible efforts of zoos and partnerships with NGOs and governing bodies.  #ScimitarHornedOryxDay@Environmentalists
