Amid the dense montane forest, Steep valleys, and mist-draped hills in the Aberdare salient, a quiet yet ground-breaking conservation project is taking shape.
Workers are racing against time to complete a 40 square kilometre Black Rhino sanctuary, an ambitious initiative spearheaded by Rhino Ark in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service.
Once finalised, the sanctuary will mark a significant milestone in the country's ongoing efforts to protect the critically endangered Black Rhinos, one of the most threatened species.
Statistics from the National Wildlife census 2021 show that the Black Rhino Population stood at 897 individuals, a hopeful rise from 853 the previous year.
