Claim 1: “Kenyan conservationists are working hard to boost the number of the critically endangered Bongo antelope.”
CORROBORATED
Two independent web sources (one referring to the 'Ghost of the forest' and another from TRT Afrika) explicitly state that conservationists are reintroducing the critically endangered Bongo antelope into the wild to increase their numbers in Kenya's forests. A third source from the Mara Elephant Project confirms the mountain bongo is critically endangered and found in Kenya.
