SOUTH SUDAN
South Sudan became independent in 2011, and although a surprising amount of wildlife survived earlier conflicts, there’s fear of widespread elephant poaching since a new civil war erupted in 2013. The largest remaining herds are in the Sudd swamplands of the White Nile. South Sudan joined the EPI in 2016.
