Your generosity and commitment make it possible to protect the okapi, support rangers and local communities, and safeguard the Ituri Forest for future generations. From all of us on the ground, thank you for believing in this work and in the future of this remarkable species. Your support truly makes a lasting difference. | Okapi Conservation Project

Our camera trap captured something extraordinary: a female okapi quietly navigating the forest under the cover of night—followed just five minutes later by a male. These elusive “forest giraffes” are famously secretive, making sightings like this incredibly special. Solitary by nature, okapi come together only briefly to mate. Moments like these offer a precious glimpse into their hidden world—and remind us just how much remains unknown about their lives in the dense Ituri Forest. #Okapi #IturiF
