Saving Kenya's Last Two Northern White Rhinos

In the vast expanse of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, desperate efforts are ongoing for the survival of the only two northern white rhinoceros in the world. The fate of this majestic species hangs in the balance.
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy, nestled against the backdrop of Mount Kenya, has become a fortress for these last survivors - both female. Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, passed away in 2018, leaving only the two females, Najin and Fatu.
Head of Conservation at Kenya's Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Samuel Mutisya says human life is highly dependent on ecosystems and ecosystem services for survival.
The northern white rhino, once roaming freely across Uganda, Chad, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has been driven to the brink of extinction by relentless poaching and habitat loss.
The entire world now looks to Kenya as the last refuge for the remaining white rhinos, the last hope for the revival of a species on the verge of disappearing forever.
In a race against time, conservationists and caretakers are employing groundbreaking techniques, including assisted reproductive technologies, to attempt to secure the future of the northern white rhino.
Efforts to save the northern white rhino extend beyond the borders of Kenya. International collaborations involve experts from various fields including wildlife conservation and reproductive science.
Scientists are exploring invitro fertilization and other assisted reproductive technologies to produce viable northern white rhino embryos that can be implanted in surrogate southern white rhinos.
The efforts in Kenya and beyond to save this iconic species are part of measures to maintain biodiversity.
