The causes and the proportion of extinction of the deer which are living in Libya Studied case of dorcas gazella in south region at jebel alakhder

Abstract

The Libyan gazella is considered one of wild animals ، well known and required in the Libyan desert – it is one of the most wild animals، in terms of gift or sale or exchange. The Arabs since long times، hunting gazella، because it is one of the difficult animals to be obtained، comparing with the rest of the other types of animals، which encouraged the man in looking and running after it and ride the difficulties and risks to obtain it – not only for their beauty and agility only، but also for the taste of its meat tasty and equestrian hunting. Gazella hunting is one of the most important and most difficult types of hunting in the desert، which led to a sharp decline in the numbers of Libyan gazella communities and wildlife since the late of the twentieth century and mainly this output is due to overhunting of the genocide irrational attacks from the inhabitants of the rural and urban regarding the modern transportation and evolution of gazella hunting. The allocation of this study dealt about the gazella as one of the factors of the of Environment and renewal Natural Resources related to them and to their public and special characteristics (biological case). This study also discussed of reasons for the decline and extinction of deer especially in the areas south Jebel Al-Akhder and generally in the Libyan desert at present time. this study reached to a conclusion that the gazella is still present، but in very small numbers – and the decreasing rate in the study area reached up from 61 % to about 90 % during the last years of the twentieth century.it was found from the results of statistical analysis (SPSS) the (Backward Regression) for the function in its double logarithmic. The most important influential factors upon the natural logarithm of the estimated rate of decline and extinction of gazella is the natural logarithm of the traditional lack of awareness of the value of the environmental component for gazella، which represents a positive relationship between both changeable، and this means that the decrease and lack of awareness of the value of this gazella  environmental factor led to the increase in the rate of decline and extinction of gazella، and this factor lmpressionism، lack of awareness in turn include other factors influential other mainly due the lack of environmental awareness، such as unjust hunting، and the lack of natural pastures (the lack of and water) and urban expansion، roads، and fishing at inappropriate times، and the acquisition of gear and modern facilities. This confirms the second hypothesis of the study hypothesis that the lack of awareness of the value of wild animals lead to adopt practices which are not conducive to the preservation، development and the loss of environmental value. The value of  F = 45.76 is a moral influence of the model as a whole at the probability level of 1 % of the research sample
