Mountain Bongo Breeding and Rewilding

The Mountain Bongo, a critically endangered #antelope subspecies endemic to the montane forests in #Kenya, is listed on the International Union for #Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. They are at high risk of global #extinction. With fewer than 100 Mountain Bongos left in the wild, this species has experienced one of the steepest population declines due to unrestricted hunting, poaching, habitat loss, and diseases.
