𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚’𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨! Kenya today marked a major milestone in the recovery of one of its most threatened wildlife species. At Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy in Nanyuki, Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife, @rebecca_miano, officially launched the Second Edition National Recovery and Action Plan for the Mountain Bongo 2026–2030 and opened the IUCN Species Survival Commission Steering Committee Meeting. She was joined by KWS Board Chair Hon. Joseph Lagat, KWS Director General Prof. Erustus Kanga, KWS management, conservation partners, researchers and community representatives. Found only in Kenya and classified as Critically Endangered, fewer than 65 mountain bongos are estimated to remain in the wild. But there is hope. The recovery programme has recorded its 100th mountain bongo birth, while Kenya continues to strengthen breeding, genetic management and preparations for future reintroduction. The new Action Plan targets a 50% increase in the national mountain bongo population by 2030, building towards a self-sustaining population of 750 by 2075. As CS Miano emphasized, securing the mountain bongo means securing a wider national asset - our forests, water, tourism, livelihoods and communities. Today, we celebrate progress. Tomorrow, we continue the work. Together, we can bring the mountain bongo back. #MountainBongo #ConservationInAction #KWS #KenyaWildlife #WildlifeRecovery
