The proposal for a national park in Jebel Akhdar, in Oman, described in Oryx, November 1974, has been carried a stage further by a scientific survey made in April 1975 with the fullest support from the Oman Government. Originally the park was designed to protect the Arabian tahr Hemitmgus jayakari, but so few survive in the area that the authors have recommended that, while the park plan should go forward, thus giving the survivors full protection, another reserve should be made the major conservation area for tahr.
