Rare and Endangered Species

Kenya is also home to rare animals like Grevy’s zebra, black rhinoceros, and Ruppell’s vulture. These species face many threats due to poaching and habitat destruction.

Visual stories of conservation projects aim to raise awareness and celebrate success stories—like the rebirth of the black rhino population.
