Wondered why my name is "Kob"?

Kobs are competing for land with humans.

Kobs are ecologically restricted, preferring low-lying flats or gently rolling country, free of seasonal extremes and close to permanent water. These also happen to be favorable conditions for farming, and kobs find themselves in competition with humans who are using these lands for agriculture.


Solutions

Our solutions to protecting the kob:

Set aside protected areas.

African Wildlife Foundation works with governments and local communities to designate wildlife corridors—large swaths of land that kob can use to roam freely and safely from one park, or country, to another. Corridors link protected areas and allow wildlife to follow rains or travel to and from their calving grounds.
Create livelihood alternatives.

AWF has a long history of working with pastoralist communities to improve sustainable livelihoods. In Tanzania and Kenya, AWF, with funding from U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), launched the Livestock for Livelihoods Program. The program aims to eradicate poverty among pastoralist communities while simultaneously protecting landscapes and wildlife. The economic boost from the program reduces pressure on the landscape by reducing the need for farming and charcoal burning, thereby freeing more space for wildlife, like the kob.

Will you show the kob your support?

Human activities are decimating kob populations. With your help, AWF can continue to work on critical projects like protecting wildlife corridors and creating sustainable livelihood alternatives. Donate for a cause that will help with wildlife conservation and ensure the kob does not become an endangered species.

Actually kob is a shortened version of my name - koby
