Not so long ago, Kenya was teeming with black rhinos. That all changed when global demand for their horn fuelled a catastrophic wave of poaching, which destroyed 98% of the population. The once-ubiquitous symbols of Kenya’s wilderness had been nearly poached to extinction. Today, Kenya’s black rhinos are the...

It’s not global demand it’s demand primarily from China. Which is why every African nation should reject them.

Leading with what was lost rather than what remains is the right order. A current population number means nothing to someone with no baseline, but ninety eight percent gone is legible instantly, and that is what makes people read the rest.

Kudos to all doing this great service. @kaziranga_ too has achieved great success in Rhino conservation though the elephant babies in Assam are being sent to Tamil Nadu temples for a life of captivity. May the ilk of rhinos and other wildlife thrive.

Black rhinos are one of the world’s most endangered species. Poaching wiped out 98% of their population across Africa – but in conservation-minded countries like Kenya, they are slowly coming back from the brink. We are proud to play a role in the rebuilding of the species, working alongside the Kenya Wildlife Service and conservation partners. That includes taking part in Kenya’s largest ever rhino notching and tagging operation led by KWS and Kenya Rhino Range Expansion last November. Over the course of 14 days, 90 black rhinos were located, darted, tagged, and notched in Tsavo West Rhino Sanctuary! Our pilots shared more in their newest report:

Each life saved is part of a much bigger story — one of a species being brought back from the brink. Black rhinos are a critically endangered species. Here in Kenya, they suffered a catastrophic 98% decline between 1970 and 1983, as poaching decimated their population from 20,000 to just 350 in just over a decade. But today, Kenya’s black rhinos are growing in number. Orphans like Chamboi — who will rejoin Tsavo’s wild rhino population when he is ready — represent the future. We are so proud to play a part in his story, which began for us with his rescue in 2023. 🦏 In honour of #WorldRhinoDay, read Chamboi’s full rescue story and support his journey back to the wild through an adoption:

It’s Save the Rhino Day, and we are sharing fascinating facts about rhinos from the caretakers of our own two rhinos, black rhino Boone, and Gauhati, our greater one-horned rhino. Today, learn about the endangered greater one-horned rhino. Rhinos can run up to 34 mph over short distances, running on their toes! They’re known for their keen sense of smell and hearing, but they apparently have poor vision. Greater one-horned rhinos live in northern India and southern Nepal, in riverine (floodplain) grasslands and adjacent woodland. They are also semi-aquatic, spending a significant amount of time in or near water. You can often find Gauhati in his pool! The recovery of the greater one-horned rhino is a conservation success story. Thanks to strict protection by government authorities in India and Nepal, rhino populations have rebounded from fewer than 100 individuals to more than 4,000 individuals today. Many describe these rhinos as "armor-plated" but they are just covered in a layer of skin that has many folds. The folds and the rich blood supply in the subcutaneous fat may contribute to thermoregulation, helping the rhino regulate its body temperature in different weather conditions. You can see Gauhati in the outdoor habitat of the Pachyderm Building, across from Penguin Island. He is fond of his enrichment, including giant balls and toys

Day and night, rangers lace up their boots and head into the most remote corners of Kenya – patrolling vulnerable habitats, responding to field emergencies, and tackling wildlife crime. This is just a glimpse into their vital work. This World Ranger Day, we’re celebrating our rangers on the frontlines. Working in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service, our 30 SWT/KWS Anti-Poaching Teams and Canine Unit tackle the greatest threats to conservation, secure wild spaces, and support critical operations across Kenya. Since our first team was deployed in 1999, SWT/KWS rangers have patrolled more than 4.2 million kilometres in the service of wildlife conservation. Supporters like you help keep our teams equipped, trained, and ready for whatever challenges lie ahead.

It is a matter of immense happiness and encouragement for the people of Assam that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, in today’s #MannKiBaat, highlighted Assam’s efforts towards protecting nature and restoring our precious wildlife habitats. The transformation unfolding at Sonai Rupai Wildlife Sanctuary is particularly close to our hearts. Areas that had remained under encroachment for decades have been reclaimed for nature, habitats are being restored and today we are witnessing a sight that gives us tremendous hope- elephants and other wildlife are once again moving freely through landscapes that rightfully belong to them. Adarniya Pradhan Mantri ji also spoke about Assam’s remarkable journey in conserving the pygmy hog, one of the world’s rarest mammals, which had once reached the brink of extinction. From just a handful of animals, sustained conservation, scientific breeding, habitat restoration and reintroduction efforts have helped bring their numbers to nearly 200. This is what long-term conservation can achieve when Government, scientists, conservationists, forest personnel and local communities work together with a common purpose. For us, protecting Assam’s forests and wildlife is not merely an environmental programme- It is a responsibility towards generations yet to come. Our efforts in this direction will continue, we will free up our land from encroachers and work towards protecting every species. My gratitude to Adarniya Pradhan Mantri ji for acknowledging our efforts in wildlife conservation.

A large pride of lions attempts to kill a black rhinoceros. Those must be some hungry cats because a rhino is not an animal to be messing with, even for a pride of lions. Ten lionesses against a black rhino! The rhinoceros survived. It’s really interesting how the lions all know to stay well away from the front end of the rhino, and also just how fast the rhino was able to stop and spin completely around—such a big animal stopping and turning on a dime is crazy! Also, I often forget just how big lions are…rhinos are massive, so the fact that the cats don’t look all that tiny in comparison puts their size into perspective.

In Swahili, Raha means joy. What better name then, for this little rescued rhino in our care — joy that she survived against the odds, and joy that a precious member of Kenya’s black rhino population was saved. With a spring in her step, Raha looks joyful to be headed out into the forest this morning too! You can read about Raha and her healing journey — she was mauled by predators prior to her rescue — and support her future through an adoption, at:

A full house at the mud bath! Mr Bean, Bombi, Bibi, and Gruff joined Chamboi for his afternoon wallow. Gruff even had a face-to-face moment with the big black rhino! This is Chamboi’s appointed time for a mud bath, but in the spirit of friendship, many of the other orphans often gather in. Best known for rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned elephants and rhinos, we offer a home to any wild animal who has lost their family. We nurture them for as long as they need us, then reintegrate them into a protected habitat, where they can live wild among their own kind. Learn more about our conservation work:

Black rhinos love their routines – and Chamboi is nothing if not a good black rhino! He begins every morning with a long drink at this specific water trough. Once he’s feeling sufficiently hydrated, he meanders off into the bush for a day of exploring with his Keepers. We cannot rush the ritual, nor would we! Rescued as a newborn orphan in late 2023, Chamboi has grown a lot over the past two years – but even still, his journey with us is just beginning. When he is a bit older, we will begin the complex rewilding phase, supporting Chamboi as he establishes a territory and integrates with local rhino populations. But right now, we’re still in the Keeper-dependent nurturing phase. Discover Chamboi's story:

My Take on Economist Magazine calling India Poor while lauding India’s Selfless Efforts to Preserve Wildlife 🙏 Just a polite reminder that India has brought back Godawan, which is otherwise called the Great Indian Bustard, in wildlife after nine years… Apart from other successes like doubling Tigers population in last 20 years, zero poaching of Rhino, increasing population of Lions, resurgence of vultures and other great achievements that even rich countries are not able to make 🙏 Credit where due, India has made tremendous progress in conservation efforts related with wildlife And this should be shared widely with all Indians 🙏🙏
