Zakouma National Park in southern Chad is a story of hope and resilience. Before 2010, the park was overrun with heavily militarised poachers who, in addition to destroying the stability and peace among local people, reduced the elephant population by 90%. Just 450 individuals remained when African Parks assumed management of the park 10 years ago in partnership with the Government of Chad. However, the last aerial survey in 2018 provided an estimate of 559 elephants including over 120 calves un

Sub-Saharan leopard numbers are declining over much of their range, particularly outside protected areas. However, in Zakouma the conditions are suitable for leopards with space to roam and their prey numbers increasing. Estimates show there are around 75 individuals in the park, possibly more.

Once home to over 4,000 elephants, they were reduced to just around 500 due to poaching for their ivory. In 2010, the government of Chad invited African Parks to help manage the Zakouma, and to bring stability to the park, its wildlife, and its communities.

In 2010, African Parks and the Government of Chad entered into a public-private partnership for the management of Zakouma National Park. The resurrection that has taken place since has been astounding and has earned this park wide recognition for the wildlife recovery that has occurred here. In the eight years prior to our intervention (between 2002 to 2010), Zakouma lost nearly 4,000 elephants from poaching.

Watch this incredible sighting as millions of red-billed queleas dance along the plains of Zakouma National Park, in Chad, during the dry season. This unique behaviour reduces the risk to individual birds by travelling in groups, and the large numbers confuse their predators. Zakouma serves as a sanctuary for West and Central African biodiversity including elephants, lions, the rare Kordofan giraffe, numerous ungulates and hundreds of bird species, due to its year-round availability of water.

Marvel at the abundance as tens of thousands of queleas take flight in Zakouma National Park, Chad. Creating beautiful murmurations in the sky, this miraculous spectacle is a testament to the park’s transformation from a once heavily poached landscape into a wildlife haven. In 2010, the Chadian Government took decisive action to protect Zakouma, and invited African Parks to professionalize park management. Over the last 12 years, with strong community engagement and a near total end to poaching,

Watch: African Parks is a conservation NGO that was founded in 2000 as an African solution to show how to effectively manage the continent's protected areas. Today, with 15 parks under management in nine countries, we are conserving the largest area for any one NGO in Africa and are doing this for the benefit of people and wildlife. This is our story - and we hope you’re inspired by the good news that is happening all around us, because it’s in large part thanks to you. https://vimeo.com/3009961

Today on #KnowYourParksFridays, we get a valuable lesson on never giving up from a very lucky bird in Zakouma National Park in Chad. This yellow-billed egret managed to escape from the clutches of this opportunistic baboon, who is about to make a meal out of him. Capturing live birds is a behaviour known in baboons across Africa, but it is particularly frequent in Zakouma because of the sheer density of birds. Zakouma baboons are specialists in bird capture, whether it be little queleas, doves o
