THE WESTERN DERBY ELAND IS ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION
We aim to build capacities to save the Derby eland, as well as other antelope species of West African savanna. We are Derbianus Conservation.
THE WESTERN DERBY ELAND
- It is the largest antelope in the world.
- Its natural range and numbers have been severely reduced by the loss of habitat, competition with cattle and poaching.
- The last wild population of Western Derby eland now lives only in the Niokolo Koba national park in Senegal.
- Less then 200 Western Derby elands remain in the wild.
- There is also a successful semi-captive breeding programme in two private Senegalese reserves.
- Western Derby eland is a flagship species of West African savanna.
