putting the threat has a threat all over
the threat in Africa is a threat to
Kenya and of course to hospital also as
a as a Conservancy
we’re now losing rhinos in this country
at a rate which is equivalent to South
Africa in percentage terms so unless we
reverse this trend then you know sooner
or later the Rhino populations are going
to start to decrease and disappear
critical things for wildlife to grow it
would definitely the animal would feel
secure they have enough in a food and
then they should be able to reproduce
and all those qualities are being seen
here better
and what we’re seeing for the last seven
years you seen close to 60% of total are
laughing crazy we’ve got not on my train
here of course they’ve been pronounced
extinct in there in the wild
we have only seven globally out of which
four are here and the four the only hope
for breeding
we’re always looking at new
opportunities to enhance our capability
and capacity so we recently invested in
the development of what we’re calling a
conservation drone you know in
collaboration with a company in America
called airway
then we have a series of what we
describe as our armed teams that Kenya
police reservists they’re armed with
automatic rifles they’re trained to a
very high standard
we’ve set up the dog station highly
trained attack stroke tracker stroke
patrol dog unit
none of these new technologies should be
viewed as a solution in themselves
they’re simply more tools in the gearbox
to swing the risk benefit calculation in
favor of us meaning that a poacher
thinking about trying to kill writings
for example or rather thing again
to me the ultimate solution to all of
this is to diminish demand in the
countries which demand these products to
change mindsets and perceptions in those
countries about these products is going
to take time and in the meantime
therefore what I see is the need for us
to do our best to safeguard existing
populations so that when demand is
diminished those populations still exist
in reasonable numbers to be able to
recover
we’ve been able to bring down poaching
at least on the Conservancy to almost
nil so we are seeing results but we
can’t sit back and celebrate and say yes
with a deer meat we have to keep up the
pressure
