Kenya Black Rhino Birth Provides Glimmer of Hope

 Kenya Black Rhino Birth Provides Glimmer of Hope

 

NARIOBI— Last May, a female black rhino named Naitamany was moved from Lewa Wildlife Conservancy to the Sera Community Rhino Sanctuary as part of a project to reintroduce black rhinos to the Samburu region of Kenya, once a rhino stronghold.  She was about five months pregnant at the time.

 This month, the mama rhino gave birth to a healthy calf, making it the first black rhino in more than 25 years to be born on community land in northern Kenya. Conservationists are pleased with this glimmer of hope, given that a surge in poaching has resulted in black rhinos being listed as critically endangered, with

 only about 5,000 left in the world. "It shows the potential of Sera as a conservancy, to not only host black rhino of breeding population, but also their capability in managing such a population," said Antony

 Wandera, senior research and monitoring officer for the Northern Rangelands Trust, an umbrella organization for community conservancies across northern and coastal Kenya, including the Sera sanctuary.
