For the first time in 21 years, Kenya's Wildlife Service says not a single rhinoceros was poached in the country's national parks in the 2020. From the 1960s to the 1990s, poaching devastated the rhino population from over 20,000 to just a few hundred. Thanks to conservation efforts, that number is now 1,200, which includes the world's only two remaining northern white rhinos. Kenya Wildlife Service, in an effort to maintain this recent progress, is conducting its first ever wildlife census and building mobile container housing in parks for rangers. The housing units will enable rangers to respond at all times with greater speed.
