Okapi Return to the Epulu Station in DRC After a 13 Year Absence

After more than a decade, the okapi has returned to the Epulu Station in the heart of the Okapi Wildlife Reserve. This milestone was made possible through a collaboration between ICCN, the Okapi Conservation Project, and Wildlife Conservation Society, in response to a long-standing request from local communities to bring back this iconic species.
