Amazing Video of Wild Okapi

This amazing camera trap video of a young male okapi foraging on the slopes of Mount Mbia is remarkable for a number of reasons. The okapi is feeding only 2 km from Epulu where 5,000 people work and live and not far from the main road through the Reserve. This exemplifies that our double-pronged approach of supporting protection of the forest zones and engaging communities to respect wildlife is working. We have always felt that the signs of okapi we have observed and the recent camera trap data we have collected indicate that okapi can coexist with people living in small villages with low population density.   This camera trap video adds evidence to support our hypothesis.
