Repost: @savetherhinointernational NEW VIRTUAL EVENT: Creating a new rhino population in Loisaba Conservancy, Kenya 🦏 Earlier this year, we saw a new black rhino population created in Loisaba Conservancy in Kenya after re-introducing 21 Eastern black rhinos from other reserves. The operation, a part of the National Rhino Range Expansion project, involved partners from Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and Nairobi National Park and complex logistics. Join us as Dr Jo Shaw, CEO of Save the Rhino International, talks to Tom Silvester, the Founder and CEO of Loisaba; Dominic Maringa, Conservation & Wildlife Head at Lewa and Jamie Gaymer, Wildlife & Security Manager at Ol Jogi, to find out about the project, the challenges it presented and what the conservation community can learn from it.

Reposted from @loisaba_conservancy. As the rain continues here at Loisaba we are reflecting on the seamless and historic relocation of the 21 black rhinos. Now that they are all settling in well to their new home ranges, we can’t wait to share more of the behind-the-scenes and introduce each of their characters with you. Here are a few recent glimpses of them enjoying all the fresh new greenery. 📸: @sandiegozoo /@amivitale #Lewa #LoisabaConservancy #RhinoRelocation #LandConnectedLifeProtected #Kenya
