An aerial survey was last carried out in 1982, a year before fighting erupted between the Sudan People's Liberation Army and government forces backed by Arab militias from the north. The fighting lasted for more than two decades and claimed 2 million lives.
In 2005 a tentative settlement was reached between the warring parties which has led to autonomous status for the government of South Sudan, and calm has returned to the area with its population of about 11 million. A referendum is to be held on independence in four years' time.
In January, a team led by Dr Kay set out to find out what had happened to the wildlife they had not been able to study for 25 years. Despite the natural richness of the territory, sandwiched between the Sahara and a belt of tropical forests, they expected the worse: there is a long and sorry history of the devastation wrought by poachers and armies during Africa's many wars.
