Population overview
• Captive Eastern Bongo, outside USA and Europe– Europe and N America are 2 big continents with a
well structured regional population strategies and support systems via TAG’s, EEP’s and association based support.
– Practicality: – Import restrictions– Transport distance– Meteorological differences– Disease management

Australian Zoo’s“Unfortunately with only eight weeks lead in until the proposed date I
am not sure that the zoos targeted (all government based) in our region would be in a position to amend budgets and apply for ministerial permission to travel in time.
Please keep us informed into the future on any other plans. You may
find that using the regional association office as a means of communicating with members? This way we can put you in direct contact with the Directors and General Managers who are responsible for decision making on such attendance.
With kind regards, Chris Hibbard | acting Executive DirectorZAA”

Asian Zoo’s• Taman Safari: “Thank you very much for the opportunity to me too, but I
don't think I can attend the meeting, since we don't have any budget for the program this year. In spite of all of the accommodation is sponsored by the organizer. However, we still prepare for the transportation to go there.
I hope, we still have another opportunity to attend the workshop in the next future.
Best regards,Amy”

Be a forum for Information sharingStudbook request: • “As for topics to present to the group,
– I am always interested in any bongo health problems and particularly in the issue of splaying in newborn calves; any time this happens the calves have a difficult time surviving and I encourage bongo holders to be prepared for bongo births and to be on the lookout for this problem.
– Another suggestion might be to encourage locations to consider the idea of displaying bachelor herds to provide exhibit space for surplus males.
– I think it is essential for bongo holders to support the wild population in Kenya, I am glad to know that Paul will be there to present and discuss this topic.
best wishes, Lydia Bosley, Bongo Int'l. Studbook”
