South Sudan’s first Unesco site protects migration of nearly 6 million antelopes

South Sudan's Boma and Badingilo parks are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This designation aims to conserve the region's rich biodiversity and vital bird habitats. Massive antelope herds and migratory birds like storks and shoebills inhabit these protected areas. The parks form part of Africa's largest intact savanna system, supporting millions of animals. Conservationists hope this recognition will boost investment and protect this unique ecosystem.
