South Sudan | Saving South Sudan ’ s Great Antelope Migration
Spanning more than 9.3 million acres of savanna and woodland floodplain , the Boma-Badingilo Migratory Landscape in South Sudan is home to the largest antelope migration on Earth . Approximately 6 million antelope — including Whiteeared Kob , Tiang , Bohor Reedbuck , and Mongalla Gazelle — rely on these lands , as do an estimated 40,000 people with a long history of pastoral livelihoods in the region .
With support from CAF donors , Rainforest Trust and our partner , African Parks Network , are working to protect this irreplaceable landscape . This multi-year project is only just getting started , but our partner has already completed a vast aerial survey that captured more than 330,000 images of the landscape and its animals . Those results confirm the value of this project : In addition to vast numbers of antelope , our partner recorded sightings of Endangered African Savanna Elephants , as well as Lions , Cheetahs , and the first sighting of Endangered African Wild Dogs in the region for nearly ten years .

Madagascar | Creating a Shark Park and Stopping Overfishing
Surprisingly little is known about the world ’ s largest fish — the Endangered Whale Shark — which reaches an impressive 39 feet in length on average . We do not know where they breed or birth their young . We do not know how long they live . And we are only just beginning to understand their migratory patterns across the
world ’ s oceans .
But we do know that they congregate in large groups in a handful of places around the world . One of those places is Tandavandriva Nosy Be , a marine area off the northwest coast of Madagascar . Here , with support from CAF donors , Rainforest Trust and our partner , Wildlife Conservation Society – Madagascar , are working to help the Madagascar government create the 695,400- acre Tandavandriva Nosy Be Marine Protected Area . This will link two existing MPAs , creating a total protected area of more than 1.37 million acres that will protect hundreds of species of corals and fishes , including the Whale Shark .
