We are proud to announce the success of a recent conservation operation across the Lewa-Borana Landscape, carried out in collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service and the Association of Private Land Rhino Sanctuaries (APLRS).

As part of this initiative, 46 rhinos were ear-notched and 9 long-range (LoRa) eartags were deployed, marking a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to protect and monitor one of Africa’s most iconic and endangered species.

Ear-notching is a critical tool that allows conservation teams to identify individual rhinos, track their movement patterns, and monitor their health. The addition of LoRa eartags brings advanced technology into the mix, enabling real-time monitoring over vast distances, even in remote terrain. These innovations give rangers and conservationists greater visibility and deeper insight into rhino behavior and social interactions, helping to shape better strategies for their protection.

This operation not only enhances the effectiveness of our field teams but also reinforces the long-term sustainability of rhino conservation across the landscape. Every action like this brings us closer to securing a future for rhinos in the wild, and we remain committed to collaboration, innovation, and tireless effort in the service of conservation.
