Where Is The Problem Occurring?

Okapis live in a dense rainforest called Ituri, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Though most okapi-related drama occurs in Central Africa, there are a few organizations in other places trying to help. For example, there is a group of okapi scientists in the United States called the Wildlife Conservation Society, though their ultimate goal is to help all animals, their current focus is the Okapi. Also, in Europe, a group called the Okapi European Endangered Species Programme is assisting in the fight. Many reserves are being set up all over the world to keep the okapi safe now that Ituri animal inhabitants are being poached.
