Whilst the population remains small, the impact of transfers will be greater, it is for that reason that the establishment of a " metapopulation management plan " occurs concurrently with conservation initiatives to enhance in-situ population growth and why this initiative is both urgent and fundamental to the future survival of mountain bongo in the wild.
