Included are news of work in the Eburu, Aberdares, Mau and Mt. Kenya forests; according to Juliette, the Aberdares bongo group is growing, Mt. Kenya shows surviving bongo despite poaching mainly for elephants, significant levels of poaching in the Mau have led to the BSP’s most concentrated efforts this year, resulting in a safer environment for all wildlife, and in the Eburu a small group are still in evidence. The BSP teams can always use financial support; please donate! Information on the captive population follows, with analysis in the form of reports on the annual census since the onset of bongo in captivity, plus age and reproductive parameters, and 2012 regional and global statistics. Section 3 includes the customary SPARKS data lists, preceded by an explanation of conventions and terms used. The first list shows events (births, deaths and transfers) occurring during 2012 for all known animals within the international captive population of Eastern / Mountain bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci), in order of studbook number and birth date (as closely as possible). The second list groups all animals living during 2012 shown at their most recent locations, organized by continent as shown in the Table of Contents. All bongo holders are kindly requested to find your facility in the second list and to check carefully for any errors or omissions in the data. Please also make note of the international (or ‘global’) studbook number for your young calves, and enter these numbers in your own records. Thanks as always for your cooperation in providing regular data updates. I encourage all to make use of the location glossary (arranged alphabetically by mnemonic) which provides contact names and details for every location holding bongo worldwide. I also humbly suggest that conservation measures for bongo are always in need of additional funding; website links provided will enable your participation in this effort. ~ Lydia Frazier Bosley, August 2, 2013 “Baby Face” © 2011, Patrick Bolger, Dublin Zoo, Ireland iv Acknowledgements Thanks are given to The Oregon Zoo, Director Kimberly A. Smith, and Deputy Director Chris Pfefferkorn for their willingness to sponsor the Bongo International Studbook. The support and cooperation of all bongo holders in providing regular and timely data are also greatly appreciated; the studbook continues to exist only because of this effort. I appreciate greatly the article contributed by Juliette Shears. As always I am grateful for the help of Laurie B. Lackey, ISIS, for SPARKS and computer help. My husband Chris has helped by tolerating my absence from his side while completing the studbook. © 2011, Jade Tuttle, North Carolina Zoo, Asheboro, NC, USA v Table of Contents Preface & Acknowledgements………..…………………………….….…..iv Section 1.

Following is an update from April 2013, written by Juliette Shears, describing their latest activites .

Here is a link to the BSP website home page with an easy “donate now” link: http://www.mountainbongo.org/index2.html 1 1st April 2013 UPDATE Bongo Surveillance Project Kenya Email [email protected] or [email protected] www.mountainbongo.org Objective of BSP Project The BSP (Bongo Surveillance Project) objective is to secure a future for the last remaining Mountain Bongo in the wild (Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci) which are critically endangered (IUCN RED LIST) . The bongo antelope is on the edge of extinction, and inferential figures suggest there could be less than 100 remaining. The Bongo Surveillance Project (BSP) has not only highlighted the plight of the critically endangered Bongo, but the serious destruction of the forest and the potential implications to the local community, and Kenyan nation. The Bongo as a forest dependant species is a flagship species for Kenya's remaining high forest eco systems. Efforts towards conservation of bongo will in turn benefit the Kenyan forests. Thank you for your support to the Bongo Surveillance Project Without your help the monitoring of these last remaining Bongos in the wild would not have been possible. REPORT MAY 2012 MARCH 2013 During this last year there have been some remarkable achievements through the actions of the BSP despite the increase in the levels of poaching, in Kenya. The BSP team of 15 members undertake surveillance in Eburu, Aberdares, Mau and Mt Kenya high forests. Most of the trackers are local to these areas, their knowledge is a vital requirement for bongo tracking and monitoring, together with an understanding of the forest communities. We have in the field up to 11 camera traps, depending on conditions. The teams use GPS to record coordinates of bongo observations, including illegal activity. These are collated into maps for reporting. They help form the baseline for future surveillance activity. ABERDARES See below photographs taken during March of the Honi, Aberdares bongo. The group are most definitely growing! This is such positive news. This photograph shows 6-8 bongo and a rare mid-afternoon picture. Honi Aberdares - Bongo Page 1 of 4 S. Aberdares Surveillance has been operative in the South around the S.Mathioya and Maragu Rivers. Bongo indicators have been observed by the BSP team, probably some 6 animals, but nowhere where they have been residing in any one area. This area is extremely mountainous with difficult terrain to cover. This team is in need of updated GPS to effectively do further surveillance in this area. Kanjwiri- Aberdares , has been a challenging area, recently due to the presence of illegal timber extraction groups. This bongo group has moved into higher forests, the BSP will continue to monitor. Just before this intervention we were able to collect one of our finest bongo photographs. Kanjwiri Bongo BSP discovering illegal logging MT KENYA - Mt Kenya has been an area also targeted by poachers, particularly for elephant. After almost a 12 months period, we have with increased surveillance secured further evidence bongo are still surviving in this area. Mt Kenya Bongo Jan 2013 MAU SW Mau - The forest where BSP has been carrying out the most intensive surveillance during 2012, has had very significant levels of poaching. Many hundreds of snares have been collected together with elephant spear traps. We are glad to say, this hard work has set a more positive foundation for a safer environment for all wildlife, including bongo. Finlays Tea Estates located on the edge of SW Mau forest have noted the forest elephants can be heard and are close-by (within 6km) which is a good sign. There is also a notable increase in camera trap results of other wildlife. We had not anticipated the levels of poaching when we set up the team here, to monitor bongo 12 months ago. There has been a very notable decrease in snaring activities, only 20 snares have been found over the period November 2012 to January 2013. As the bamboo area, is too far to operate from Finlays BSP base camp, we are proposing to locate a second BSP team, operating out from the Ndoinet area (where 3 samples were collected in 2010). In Ndoinet there has been much intrusion with cattle and dogs in the forest.

  • The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Conservation Report Is There Room for Magnificence?
    From the Editor Before there were mammals, birds, snakes or even crocodiles, turtles were living side-by-side with their planet-mates—the dinosaurs. Turtles have been on earth since the Triassic Period, over 220 million years ago. Their shells make them unique to the point that some scientists feel they should occupy their own Class of vertebrates— Chelonia—separate from lizards and snakes. There is nothing like a turtle. In spite of their exceptional survival skills, turtles (including tortoises) are now at the top of the list of species disappearing from our planet. Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC) reports that 47% of turtle species are identified as “threatened” worldwide. Their plight is part of the ongoing worldwide loss of biodiversity, including about 30% of amphibians, 25% of mammals, and 12% of birds in similar straits. Year of the Turtle 2011 is an opportunity to raise awareness of the issues facing turtles (habitat loss and degradation and overexploitation for food, traditional medicines, and pets) and increase our collective conservation action. The last act of the Zoo’s Conservation Committee in December 2010 was to create the Turtle Conservation For more information about 2011 Year of the Turtle, visit: Fund.
