In a groundbreaking conservation effort, Kenya will carry out one of the largest translocations of black rhinos in more than two decades due to an unexpected surplus of the animals in some conservation areas.
Over the next two weeks, Kenya Wildlife Service officials and partners will sedate 21 black rhinos; load them onto trucks and transported for hundreds of kilometers to Loisaba Conservancy in Laikipia County to ease overcrowding in existing habitats.
