The Great Nile Migration of South Sudan

In August 2022, African Parks signed a 10-year management partnership for Boma and Badingilo National Parks with the Government of the Republic of South Sudan. Since then, the task of establishing an effective approach to manage over two million hectares of thriving biodiversity, in a largely unknown landscape, has been mammoth. In 2023, African Parks conducted a mass collaring survey followed by an aerial survey to understand wildlife movement and the extent of the antelope populations. The results were astonishing: South Sudan is home to the largest land mammal migration on Earth, estimated at approximately 6 million antelope which move north and east across the country towards Gambella National Park in Ethiopia after the seasonal rains. Knowing this has amplified the significance of safeguarding this globally significant landscape and its wildlife, while working together with local communities, to uphold their livelihoods and cultural needs.
