A special project in South Sudan - Leo Foundation In South Sudan lies a vast and difficult-to-access area covering approximately 18 million hectares. Yet it is this inaccessibility that is also offering exceptional opportunities for wildlife. The Boma–Bandingilo landscape is known for the largest terrestrial mammal migration on Earth, with millions of tiang antelopes, gazelles, and kob migrating through the area each year.

A new item on our website, about a collaboration in the Boma-Badingilo landscape in South Sudan, home to the greatest terrestrial migration on earth! 🦁🦒🦌

Wolves in the Netherlands feed mainly on wild animals – but also target grazing cattle in areas with less prey - Leo Foundation Wolves in the Netherlands mainly feed on wild animals such as wild boar and red and roe deer. But in areas such as Drenthe where these are scarce they also prey on free-roaming cattle used for nature ...
