One of the goals of the wildlife preserve, is reintroducing animals that have become extinct in this region..A pair of Arabian Oryx from the breeding herd at Hai Bar Yotvata were recently released into nature, and hopefully will begin reproducing in the wild.The mission of Yotvata Hai-Bar (Wildlife Preserve) Nature Reserve is to establish reproduction groups for populations of wild animals that are mentioned in the Bible; but have disappeared from the landscape, as well as for other endangered desert animals.

Volunteers are needed to join the Israel Nature & Parks Authority (NPA) staff with its on-going conservation and animal care work at the Wildlife Preserve.The official Facebook group - Volunteers for Wildlife at the Hai-Bar Yotvata Reserve in Israel - is open to past, present and future volunteers or anyone that is interested in wildlife conservation.
