In April 1982 Israeli conservationists released a test herd of Asiatic wild ass Equus hemionus into the central Negev Desert basin of Makhtesh Ramon as the first step in restoring this species into the wild. The five males are being closely monitored to determine how well they adjust to their freedom and if no serious problems are encountered they will be joined by females.
