Critically endangered mountain bongo reintroduced into Kenya's wild

The mountain bongo is being reintroduced into the wild by conservationists to increase the number of the rare antelope that are indigenous to Kenya’s forests. Known for its brown skin and distinct white stripes, there are fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild. A conservancy based in Kenya is breeding them and slowly reintroducing them into the wild, with a target of having 750 wild bongos by 2050. The conservancy located in the Mount Kenya landscape has been restoring the survival instincts of zoo-bred bongos. They want to ensure the animals can feed without human assistance, escape from predators, and build a strong immunity against disease.

Tag der Banane – Teil 2
Elisa hat die Bananenstaude nicht gefallen. Die hätte 2 Enden gehabt. Also hat Ami alle Bananen abgepflückt und sich ein Bananen-Outfit draus gebastelt. Und tanzt Bongo dazu.
