Although still numerous in western Uganda, the kob is far less common now in other areas of East Africa. It was once found in western Kenya and northern Tanzania but has not been seen there in recent years.

Despite our significant successes in training and supporting a generation of African wildlife managers, AWF’s work in this area is far from over. There is more that could be done to protect Africa’s wildlife and conserve its wild lands if only there were more Africans who had the skills to make it happen. More scientists, more park managers, more community leaders, and more government officials who are committed to conservation are urgently needed. Most field research in Africa continues to be carried out by non-Africans. This is something AWF would like to change, and we hope in the coming years to build a cadre of world-recognized African conservation scientists and managers.
