You are probably familiar with the term bongo in the context of the well-known drums, but did you know it is also the name of a threatened antelope?🦌@TommySandri introduces us to the mountain bongo and the efforts to conserve this striking subspecies.

Great to see this important and impactful work coming out on the Mountain Bongo @ Tommi Sandri #wildlife #conservation #Kenya @KWSKenya and the Bongo Surveillance Project!

Out now! Sandri et al. used camera-trap records and a newly developed identification system to monitor the Critically Endangered mountain bongo in Kenya. They provide the 1st estimates of the species' population size in the wild, a mere 29-50 individuals🚨 https://t.co/1wVAsvPbsz

#Conservation is effective when tools are available,
here we describe the development of #monitoring tools for a #criticallyendangered antelope, the #mountainbongo
GRAZIE team!
stay tuned for more #bongoing !

@xaalii @NikiRust basic research may not seem “useful” from the start e.g. the system developed to detect stars and other objects in astronomic images was then used to help detect tumors in clinical images. 99.9% sure astronomers did not have cancer in mind.
