TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY TRISTAN MCCONNELL A member of a rhino-translocation team at Lewa wildlife conservancy holds-on to the sawed-off tip of a rhino horn as others process a sedated Black rhinocerous for general health condition in the background at the Lewa wildlife conservancy in Laikipia county, some 258 km north of the capital, Nairobi, on May 20, 2015. The horn of the adult male was reduced before being fitted with a radio transmittion device at the Lewa wildlife conservancy in Laikipia county before being translocation to form part of the gene pool that will spearhead the repopulation of a Samburu community-run coservancy Sera, further north. The critically endangered eastern black rhino (Diceros bicornis michaeli) is endemic to Kenya, where approximately 85% of the worlds remaining wild population of this sub-species remains and like many other conservancies in the area, Seras history is tainted with heavy poaching, tribal conflict, cattle rustling and road banditry. Sera Community Conservancy is now one of 26 conservancies within the Nothern Rangelands Trust chosen as the site for Kenyas first community-owned black rhino sanctuary.
