RE: For the first time in 20 years, a spotted hyena has been found in the Batéké Plateau National Park in Gabon, which shows that the conservation efforts in the area has not been in vain

in #nature7 years ago

The Aspinall foundation is doing some really great work. It reminds me of the great work by Diane Fossey, thankfully things have changed since her tragic death. Lets hope thay can keep away all those that want to harm these species.

Sort:  

Yeah, they really seem to be doing great work.

The story of Diane Fossey is so sad, but I also think that things are beginning to look better, at least in certain parts of Africa. There is still a long way to go before the endangered African species are in a better place, but the future is looking somewhat bright again.

Yes, and still lots more to do.

I think there are a lot of logistical, as well as other issues associated with the reintroduction of different species into the wild I remember they had a lot of issues with the Bull elephants that they were reintroducing into the Kruger National park a good few years ago, a lot of them were going renegade and ended up getting euthanised for safety concerns.

Yeah, reintroductions can be really difficult to plan for, and it's sadly a lot of things that can go wrong during the process.
