Text title reads ‘Kenya's Tsavo West Rhino Sanctuary now the largest in the world.’ A young rhino calf in the mud with mother behind. The calf faces straight to the lens as it stands in the mud, its body muddy from being submerged, the outline of the mother behind is just visible.

A big win for black rhinos. 🦏 👏

The recently established Tsavo West Rhino Sanctuary now provides 3,200km² of rhino habitat, hugely expanding the existing 92km² Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary.

This positive step will help encourage population growth with hopes to increase no’s in Kenya to 2,000 by 2037. 💚
