migration
Boma–Badingilo links national parks with surrounding grasslands and savannas. White-eared kob, tiang and Mongalla gazelles move across this connected landscape as environmental conditions change. Its ecological importance depends on space and seasonal connections. Local communities have also shaped relationships with the land through herding, farming and fishing.
