Five endangered hirola antelope collared at conservancy

Dr Steve Chege from the Northern Rangelands Trust (R) is assisted by Henrik Rasmussen to collar a Hirola.

Five endangered hirola antelopes have been collared at Ishaqbini Hirola Sanctuary in Garissa County.

The four-day exercise, that was conducted from November 5 to 9, was at the request of the Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy Board to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) seeking to monitor movement patterns of the animal within the sanctuary and in future the wider Ishaqbini Community Conservancy once they are released from the sanctuary.
