Welcome to the world, little one

Allow me to introduce Lobaru – a handsome four-legged fellow who’s just been born in one of Kenya’s last remaining rhino havens run by one of our partners.

He’s a black rhino – one of the most endangered mammals on Earth.

If he lives a long life, over the next 30 years he will witness the turning point in rhino conservation. He will either watch his species be rescued from the very brink of extinction, or see it poached beyond the point of no return.

But for now, this is purely good news – one more baby black rhino on the planet.

It’s good news that could not have come at a better time. The events that 2020 thrust on Kenyan conservation were brutal beyond measure – locust swarms devastated the country, the pandemic halted ecotourism and torrential rains caused death, landslides and widespread flooding.

But with the help of donations from people like you, Sera Community Conservancy (where Lobaru was born) was able to hold on. Lobaru’s mother was kept safe, and this is our reward.

If we can achieve success now, amid all of those challenges, it is crystal-clear proof that conservation can work. Through your support, we can save these creatures and save their struggling species.
