It’s a girl for Naserian! As is a time-honoured tradition among our ex-orphans, the proud mum returned ‘home’ this weekend to introduce her brand new daughter to the people who raised her.

Kenya is rewriting its rhino story — and we are proud of the role we play in it. Not so long ago, Kenya was teeming with black rhinos. However, global demand for rhino horn fuelled a catastrophic wave of poaching that very nearly destroyed the species. By the mid-1980s, populations had plummeted from 20,000 to less than 400.
