View this post on Instagram Photo by David Chancellor @chancellordavid | Samburu warriors (known as moran) meet a black rhino at Sera Conservancy, in northern Kenya. The Samburu reserve was home to black rhino for thousands of years, until the last was poached in 1990. The species was once widespread across Africa, but illegal wildlife trade and lack of secure habitat resulted in a 98% collapse in numbers between 1960 and 1995; now an estimated 5,500 individuals are left in the wild. Kenya is one of the black rhino’s last strongholds, with approximately 690 animals. In May 2015 the Kenya Wildlife Service, Northern Rangelands Trust, and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy partnered to move 10 black rhino to the 120-square-kilometer conservancy. It became the country’s first community-owned black rhino sanctuary, allowing the Samburu who once lived cheek by jowl with black rhino to again live alongside them.
