In the 1950s, there were many Mountain Bongos in Mount Kenya. However, hunting and poaching dropped their numbers significantly. Between 1966 and 1975, 36 animals were sent to zoos in the US to protect the species from extinction - and all the efforts to ensure the survival of the species have hinged on returning some of these animals to Kenya.
In 2004, 18 Bongos were repatriated to Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy to start a breeding and rewilding programme with the intention to re-establish the Mountain Bongo population in their natural habitat.
To help the species recover, @kwskenya , @kenyaforestservice1404 , Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife – Kenya in conjuction with #MKWC launched the Mawingu Bongo Sanctuary on the slopes of Mount Kenya as part of the National Mountain Bongo Recovery and Action Plan.
Today, we have over 90 Mountain Bongos at the conservancy, a big step toward protecting them from extinction. We’re grateful for the support of our partners, donors, and community. Discover the story behind the Bongo breeding and rewilding programme in the next post. Stay tuned!
