On Sunday February 23rd, 17 mountain bongos were safely repatriated from Palm Beach County, Florida, to a specially designed sanctuary on the northeastern slopes of Mt.

Kenya.  A month later, all the bongos seem to have adapted to the new environment and are expected to start breeding and increase in number.

This momentous event marked a significant milestone in Kenya's ongoing efforts to recover one of its most iconic and critically endangered species.

The repatriated bongos were donated to the government of Kenya by the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation (RSCF) in Florida, USA, following decades of dedicated research and breeding since 1991.
