(Nanyuki, Kenya). As the triennial Conference of Parties of the
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna
and Flora (CITES) drew to a close last week in Bangkok, and after
conservationists all around the world sounded the alarm on rhino
poaching, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy lost a female black rhino to
poachers.

| 22year old Upendo killed by poachers 13th March |
On March 13th, 2013, at approximately 6:20pm, gunshots
were heard on the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Our armed teams responded right
away. During their deployment, they came face to face with four of the
poachers, exchanged gunfire and it is believed that some of the poachers
were wounded. However, in the end, the poachers got away. Our security
team is currently working with the Kenya Police and Kenya Wildlife
Service (KWS) anti-poaching unit to follow any possible leads to
apprehend the culprits. READ MORE >>>
