Isiolo conservancy ropes in locals in bid to save beisa oryx
Beisa Oryx, an endangered antelope species, seen here at Bufallo Springs Game Reserve in Isiolo County on May 5, 2021. The Nakuprat Gotu Wildlife Conservancy has started engaging locals to help in saving the antelope from extinction.
A conservancy in Isiolo has rolled out a community project to protect beisa oryx — also known as the East African oryx — an endangered species of antelope which is under serious threat due to poaching.
The Nakuprat Gotu Wildlife Conservancy has started engaging residents of Ngaremara Ward living near the Buffalo Springs and Sarova Shaba Game reserves where herds of the animal with a fawn-coloured body and dark markings on the face and legs are found.
