'Historic homecoming' as endangered antelopes flown to Kenya from Czech Republic zoo
Four mountain bongos, an endangered antelope species native to Kenya, have been flown from the Czech Republic as part of a conservation effort. The Kenya Wildlife Service views this as a significant step towards increasing the genetic diversity of the species in the wild. The bongos will be integrated into a breeding program to help restore their population, which has dwindled to fewer than 100 in the wild.
- ▪The mountain bongos were welcomed by Kenyan officials upon their arrival at Nairobi's main airport.
- ▪Less than 100 mountain bongos are estimated to remain in the wild, down from about 500 in the 1970s.
- ▪The bongos will strengthen the gene pool of the existing population at the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy.
