One continent. Diverse cultures. Shared future.

🇨🇿 Today, we mark the 81st anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe, one of the most tragic conflicts in human history.

🌍 Wildlife Diplomacy in Action: From Czechia back to the Kenyan Wild! 🇨🇿🤝🇰🇪

We are thrilled to share a historic success story of international cooperation and nature conservation! 🦌✨

Four critically endangered Mountain Bongos have officially returned to their ancestral home in Kenya from the Safari Park Dvůr Králové in the Czech Republic. This major translocation is a vital step in saving one of Africa’s rarest large mammals from the brink of extinction.

Highlights of the Journey:

✈️ The four males arrived safely at Nairobi Airport after a flight from Amsterdam, accompanied by over half a ton of specialized feed to aid their acclimation.

🤝 Our colleague, the Czech Ambassador to Kenya, Nicol Adamcová, officially handed over the animals to the Kenyan government under the high patronage of the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel.

📍 Their new home is the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy (MKWC), where they will boost genetic diversity and support the national recovery plan for this magnificent species.

Why it matters:

With fewer than 100 Mountain Bongos left in the wild, accredited zoos act as a modern-day "Noah's Ark". This project proves that conservation knows no borders, connecting experts from Czechia, Slovakia, Germany, Denmark, and the UK with Kenyan partners to protect our planet's biodiversity 🌍💚.

Czechia is proud to be a global leader in protecting Africa's natural heritage—not just in Kenya, but across the continent!
