It was the first time for all the young men to see a rhino, despite living in habitats where they once thrived. Kenya has effectively involved local communities in rhino conservation through education and sustainable wildlife-related livelihoods. Over the past two decades, these initiatives have fostered a strong sense of pride and helped revitalize rhino populations that were near extinction in the 1980s and 1990s, symbolizing hope and resilience.
