The Arabian Sand Gazelle (Gazella marica) is a small antelope species found in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula. The remaining population of Arabian Sand Gazelles is threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation, and overhunting. Increased human activities, such as urbanization and infrastructure development, have led to the destruction and degradation of their desert habitat. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their remaining habitats and enforcing regulations against illegal hunting.
