Mountain Bongo Breeding and Rewilding
The Mountain Bongo breeding and rewilding program stands as the beacon of hope for this critically endangered antelope. This ambitious initiative aims to reverse the decline of the iconic bongo, a striking and elusive antelope species.
Animal Orphanage
Located within the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy, the Animal Orphanage is a unique facility to give orphaned, injured, neglected, abused, or frightened wild animals a second chance. The Orphanage provides shelter and professional care with the aim of releasing these animals back into the wild where they belong.
Conservation Education
The success of the Mountain Bongo breeding, release, and eventual survival in the wild depends on the support of the communities in surrounding areas. Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy (MKWC) has set up community conservation education and empowerment programs to create awareness on the plight of Mountain Bongo and sustainable natural resource management.
