Couldn't agree more.

In 2022, the head of conservancy at Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy (MKWC) told a Kenyan TV station that some of the bongos repatriated in 2004 had successfully been integrated into the wild and had started breeding.

18 years after introduction they would be dead, so a bit late to start breeding.

Fantastic!

And to imagine the number of stupid so called “conservation” organizations that are against breeding animals in captivity!!

How could a country that was so anti hunting not have these animals he asked while smirking.

Quite right Saeed. Not all but many so called "conservation" entities are full of nothing but BS.

Kenya is where ths natural habitat is so makes sense but, yeah, it would be great to see them thriving elsewhere on the continent under a beneficial hunting programme.

I didn’t know about this Florida group, but I know many ranches in Texas have preserved various species which would no longer exist in their native habitats. The scimitar oryx, addax, dama gazelle immediately come to mind.

With corruption and the lack of anti poaching efforts in Kenya, I fear for those animals.
