Summary
The sanctuary will enable the rewilding of the animals and provide the National Bongo Task Force with animals to reintroduce into indigenous habitats such as Ragati, Eburu, Mau and Aberdares forests.
This will help achieve a sustainable population in line with the National Mountain Bongo Recovery and Action Plan 2019-2023.
