A captive breeding programme for critically endangered Mountain Bongo antelopes has grown into the largest population of the subspecies anywhere in the world, now numbering more than 100 individuals.
Dr Robert Aruho, Head of Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy (MKWC) in Nanyuki, runs the programme, placing the small conservancy ahead of larger zoos and breeding centres across Europe and North America in efforts to secure the subspecies' survival.
In April, Aruho led the repatriation of four male Mountain Bongos from European zoos to strengthen genetic diversity within the conservancy's breeding stock.
