🚨 Just launched! Today, CMS' Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration unveiled new maps that track over 5 million white-eared kob and 400,000 tiang as they move across 100,000 km² of wetlands between South Sudan and Ethiopia, an area seven times larger than the Serengeti.
Dubbed the “Great Nile Migration,” these journeys knit together national parks, local communities and vital ecosystems. With the new maps, planners can now see exactly where wildlife corridors will overlap with infrastructure projects, reducing harmful and costly human-wildlife conflicts before they start. 🐾
Discover how these new maps can steer wildlife-friendly development, powering eco-tourism and sustainable growth for South Sudan and Ethiopia.
