East African Mountain Bongo Antelope

Through an international collaborative effort, our scientists are working to save Kenya’s Mountain Bongo Antelope, the largest and most endangered antelope. Through an innovative project that is repatriating captive stock to a Kenyan preserve, our efforts are helping to protect Mt. Kenya and with it, the high-mountain ecosystem that supplies 80 percent of Kenya’s people with clean, fresh water.
