Over a year ago, I sang for an okapi and it was one of the most special moments of my life. After singing for him I found out that Okapis are in great danger of extinction 😢 That moment became the start of realizing I could use my videos to inspire conservation and hopefully help protect wildlife 🦓❤️‍🩹 🎛️ Mix by Robthedrums Merci Zoo du Bassin d'Arcachon pour l’accueil 🫶 #animal #animals #okapi | Plumes

Recently captured by our camera traps deep in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve, this footage shows an okapi moving freely through its undisturbed rainforest home—a testament to the power of conservation. Protecting these forests means protecting the okapi and countless other species that depend on them. | Okapi Conservation Project

Okapi have multiple ways of marking their territory including a scent gland on each foot which releases a tar-like substance to indicate the area is theirs. Furthermore, they can also secrete urine to mark their territory, as can be seen from this footage from one of our camera traps. | Okapi Conservation Project | Facebook

In this camera trap moment, a secret of the forest quietly unfolds. An okapi—gingerly walks through the undergrowth, unaware of the tiny forest companions that follow its path. Look closely, and you’ll spot two yellow-whiskered greenbuls darting by. These clever birds rely on the okapi to flush insects from the grasses—a unique partnership in the rainforest. This glimpse into the interconnected lives of Congo’s rainforest wildlife is a reminder: when we protect one species, we protect many. #Oka
