Just in - Bongo Camera Trap Pics!

Date Posted: 10 Mar 2016

The Aspinall Foundation recently donated 10 camera traps and 15 memory cards to a project in Kenya dedicated to saving the critically endangered mountain bongo from possible extinction.

The cameras were presented to the Bongo Surveillance Project (BSP) at Howletts Wild Animal Park, where bongo have been bred in captivity for many years. 

Wild mountain bongo populations have suffered huge declines, and are now restricted to a handful of small, isolated populations, all in Kenya. 

Field teams from BSP and the Kenya Wildlife Service have sent us these latest images - some of which had 9 bongo in one photo!
