South Sudan has the largest land mammal migration on earth: report It's official - South Sudan hosts the largest land mammal migration on Earth! President Salva Kir Mayardit has today announced the results of a comprehensive aerial survey of “The Great Nile Migration”, encompassing Boma and Bandingilo national parks and stretching to the White Nile. Each year, in an unmatched wildlife spectacle approximately six million white-eared kob, Mongalla gazelle, tiang and Bohor reedbuck move across this landscape and into Gambella National Park in Ethiopia. The migration illustrates the immense ecological importance of this ecosystem and the urgent need for its long-term protection. The survey results, combined with data from the collaring of hundreds of animals from multiple species, create a more detailed understanding of the ecosystem, which will help develop sustainable strategies for both the wildlife and the people who depend on it. The survey was conducted by African Parks in partnership with the South Sudan Ministry of Wildlife Conservation and Tourism with support from The Wilderness Project (@greatspineofafrica). The survey results, combined with data from the collaring of hundreds of different animals from multiple species create a better understanding of the ecosystem to help develop sustainable strategies for both the wildlife and the people who depend on it.
