Due to the lack of ecological data available regarding the Persian fallow deer (see above), planning for the species' reintroduction without this vital background information has proven difficult.

In Persian fallow deer reintroductions, securing a balance between these two factors can prove difficult, especially when information on population dynamics and individual and group behavior is limited.

For Persian fallow deer, some additional factors include fecundity and reproduction, survivorship, dispersal and movement patterns, population composition, and genetic variation within the population.

Therefore, if Persian fallow deer populations are to later function in reintroduction programs, exposure to humans should be kept at a minimum to increase the deer's probability of survival.

Some mammals that have gone locally extinct are being reintroduced, such as the Persian Fallow Deer and the Roe Deer.

Persian fallow deer were formerly found in Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and eastern Turkey.
