Many species of gazelles in the Arabian and North African Deserts have been over hunted and almost driven to extinction by desert people. For many years, the fresh meat of these gazelles were very important to maintaining good health and nutrition of the desert people. When guns were introduced, gazelles were hunted excessively.
