Against the backdrop of rolling savannah and towering acacias, Kenya is making a historic move in conservation - one that could redefine the future of its critically endangered rhinos.
At Segera Conservancy in Laikipia County, the government has begun the translocation of 21 eastern black rhinos, marking a significant milestone in wildlife conservation and species recovery.
The project, launched by Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife, Rebecca Miano, is a collaborative effort between Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the ZEITZ Foundation, with a grand vision: to create one of the largest connected rhino landscapes in the world. "The translocation affirms Kenya's commitment to securing the future of one of the world's most iconic yet endangered species," said Miano.
Kenya remains a global stronghold for the eastern black rhino, hosting 80 per cent of the surviving population.
