Badingilo-Boma lies at the heart of a remarkable shared landscape in South Sudan, recently highlighted in National Geographic for its role in the Great Nile Migration, the world’s largest land mammal migration.
In 2022, to ensure the long-term ecological, social, and economic sustainability of this globally important landscape, the government of the Republic of South Sudan signed a 10-year management agreement with African Parks. This includes the management of the national parks and wildlife corridors in the broader landscape. These natural resources are the lifeblood of the White Nile ecosystem and provide sustenance and livelihoods for millions of people.
It is the largest land mammal migration on Earth.

This commitment by the South Sudanese Government is an important step in the long-term conservation of these vital ecosystems and in securing lasting benefits for people and wildlife.
Through effective management, infrastructure, conservation law enforcement, and collaboration with local communities, these protected areas have the potential to continue providing natural resources to the communities in the landscape and more broadly to the people of South Sudan in a way that supports sustainable development, people and wildlife.
