In 2024, a monumental conservation effort saw 21 Eastern black rhinos translocated to the 58,000-acre Loisaba Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. This short documentary takes you behind the scenes of the high-stakes operation—from the precision of veterinary resuscitations to the 24/7 monitoring that ensures their safety today.
In this film:
The Logistics of Hope: Watch how teams from Kenya Wildlife Service, Ol Pejeta, and Lewa collaborated to move these 2-ton giants across the country.
A Thriving Ecosystem: See the first signs of success with the births of calves Valentine (Oct 2024) and a second newcomer in February 2025.
Conservation for People: Discover how the "Loisaba Model" creates 500+ jobs and supports local education and healthcare through wildlife protection.
The Experts: Hear from CEO Tom Sylvester, veterinarians Melanie Wangui and Florence Kang’ethe, and Security Head Daniel Yiangere on the front lines of the fight against extinction.
Kenya is on a mission to reach a national population of 2,000+ rhinos by 2035. Loisaba is a critical piece of that puzzle, proving that through resilience and community partnership, we can reverse the damage of the past.
