The significance of the "Legend" series of books is not just to please for a moment, but to benefit for a lifetime! That year, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, along with the World Wildlife Fund, launched a large-scale rescue campaign. At that time, only a few Arabian oryx remained in the world, scattered in zoos in the UK, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. According to the action plan, they were quickly gathered in the Phoenix Zoo in the United States. There, the breeding program to save the Arabian oryx was about to launch, and people had to do everything they could to prevent this species from becoming completely extinct. After more than 10 years of artificial breeding, in 1985, a batch of Arabian oryx settled in a national park specially built for them. With human help, they gradually adapted to a life of freedom and independence and reproduced more offspring in the wild environment. Today, this program has been recorded in history and is considered one of the most successful actions in the history of international wildlife conservation. However, the rescue of the Arabian oryx did not end there. If immediate further assistance is not provided to help this animal restore its wild life in more places, the success of this program could be in vain. In February 1996, under the care of a group of wildlife biologists, the second batch of artificially bred Arabian oryx embarked on a long journey. They were to be settled in a newly established protected area. The Saudi Royal Family was the sponsor of this action, and for 10 years, they had been providing funding to the scientists. For this oil-rich country, money was not an issue. These distinguished guests—the Arabian oryx—would travel to their new home on Saudi military aircraft, with absolutely no room for error during the journey. To ensure the safety and comfort of these special guests, relevant personnel had meticulously prepared for the trip. In fact, the people who escorted the Arabian oryx on this trip included not only airport staff but also military personnel. Thanks to the support of the Royal Family, the status of natural resource conservation scholars in the public eye was greatly improved. Their destination was the vast Rub' al Khali Desert at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. P24
