La Hoya Experimental Farm

The "La Hoya" Experimental Farm is a scientific facility located in Almería, Spain, attached to the Arid Zones Experimental Station of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Founded in 1971, its main objective is the conservation of endangered African ungulate species, such as Cuvier's gazelle, the dama gazelle, the Saharan Dorcas gazelle and Saharan Barbary sheep. In addition to its conservation work, the farm offers an outdoor experimental space that supports the institute's lines of research.
