Boma National Park is a protected area in eastern South Sudan near the Ethiopian border.

Other large mammals are buffalo, elephant, African leopard, Nubian giraffe, oryx, Lelwel hartebeest, Northeast African cheetah,[6] common eland, maneless zebra, waterbuck, Grant's gazelle, lesser kudu, bongo, giant eland, and Nile lechwe.

[7] It is also an important bird area; avifauna includes Ruppell's vulture and the black-chested snake eagle.

A UNEP study reports that the white-eared kob is found mostly to the east of Nile River in South Sudan within the clay plains and wetlands; though occurring in substantial numbers in Boma National Park, it is reported to be found more outside the protected area.

[8] African Geographic reported in 2021 that the decades-long conflicts in the region have caused conservationists to be unable to monitor the effects to animal populations and habitats .

Once African Parks began management, they sent aerial surveys to begin estimating population numbers.
