Lewa Conservancy celebrated World Rhino Day last month and along with a six km walk to honour the majestic animals and celebration, they also shared the thrilling news delivered from the IUCN that rhino populations in Africa are experiencing a remarkable resurgence, thanks to anti-poaching crusaders and cutting-edge biological interventions. This outstanding revelation underscores the incredible impact of Lewa’s collective efforts to safeguard these magnificent creatures.

One of the most noteworthy discoveries in the findings was the resurgence in the population of black rhinos, which has reached a total of 6,487 individuals. This represents a significant 4.2% increase from the count in 2021. Additionally, the beloved white rhinos, now numbering around 16,803 individuals, have witnessed a remarkable growth of 5.6%. This marks their first population increase since 2012. This heartening news is a testament to the unflagging dedication and tireless efforts of conservationists across the continent.
