| الملخص: | <p dir="ltr"><b>This conference contribution was presented by Rana O. Khayat, Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia. (18th Edition of the Qatar University Life Sciences Symposium Bio-Environment: Advances and Innovations. 2025).</b></p><p dir="ltr">The Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx) has suffered severe historical declines but persists today through reintroduction programs. Using 156 GBIF records, we applied rigorous cleaning and spatial thinning, retaining 81 high-quality occurrences. Ensemble species distribution models (SDMs) with WorldClim predictors project major habitat contraction. Persistence is restricted to refugia in Oman and central Saudi Arabia. These findings highlight the urgency of climate informed conservation for this emblematic desert ungulate.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Conference information: 18th Edition of the Qatar University Life Sciences Symposium Bio-Environment: Advances and Innovations.
