Why we need your help
The number of Roan antelope in Kenya has dropped to a critical level. There are now only 12 adults left in the whole of Kenya.

How we will use the money you donate to save the Roan
We’ve partnered with the Kenyan Wildlife Service and Ol Pejeta Conservancy to help save this species in Kenya by working alongside them and providing funding for an environmental and assessment survey in Ruma National Park. The goal is to create a fenced rehabilitation area for this species in this national park and introduce new breeding stock to boost numbers.

Creating a lasting impact and survival for the Roan
Fencing off part of the Ruma National Park, moving predators to other areas in this national park and introducing breeding stock from other countries is the only way that this species will be saved in Kenya. Ruma National Park is the only remaining place in Kenya where Roan antelope currently exist.

Not well known is the Roan, and this one’s almost alone.

Just twelve... a dozen... that’s all that’s left in Western Kenya’s Ruma National Park.

Hunted by man, preyed upon by hyenas, their habitat destroyed by fires and what we call progress.
