In this report, et highlights these species and the reasons for the prohibition of hunting them, in addition to the penalties imposed on those who violate the law and hunt them, which is the so-called crime of overfishing.

The Egyptian deer is considered one of the most important wild animals found in the Red Sea reserves, specifically in the areas of Wadi Gamal and Jabal Elba reserves in the south of the Red Sea.
