Thank you for visiting the Mountain Bongo fundraising page.

Your money will go to supporting Rhino Ark’s Bongo Surveillance Project initiated in the Aberdares and outreaching to Mt. Kenya and other mountain forests in which the project has identified remnant herds of wild Bongo.

The Mountain Bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci) is one of Kenya’s most rare and highly threatened forest antelopes.

Following the construction of Rhino Ark’s Aberdare fence and resultant improving management methods in the Aberdares, the opportunity to establish an accurate assessment of the Aberdare Bongo herds – the most illusive of forest antelope – is now proving possible.

The Bongo Surveillance Project was formed in 2003 using skilled trackers from the forest edge communities, some of whom were former trappers and even poachers of Bongo in the 1970s when the animals were in abundance and were licensed for export to foreign zoos.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor Rhino Ark. Rhino Ark will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support
