Site description (2001 baseline):

This site is located between the towns of Bor in the north and Juba in the south, to the east of the White Nile. The park is centred on a swamp c.40 km east of the town of Mongalla which provides a dry-season refuge for mammal populations. It also includes the large surrounding area of mostly waterless plains.

See Box and Table 2 for key species.

Non-bird biodiversity: The following mammals of global conservation concern occur, or used to do so: Giraffa camelopardalis (LR/cd), Syncerus caffer (LR/cd), Alcelaphus buselaphus (LR/cd), Redunca redunca (LR/cd), Tragelaphus derbianus (LR/nt) and Kobus kobus (LR/cd).

The relative proximity of the site to the town of Juba has resulted in intense hunting pressure.
