"Meet Kamara. One of the inspiring rangers who is currently hand raising three baby rhinos at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (@lewa_wildlife) in #Kenya. He spends 12 hours every day, sometimes in pouring rain to watch over the vulnerable baby rhinos. He calls them his children and once had to fend off a lion who was eyeing one of the baby #rhinos. Kamara has raised 10 baby rhinos, 4 cheetahs, 3 giraffes, 3 warthogs, 2 wild buffaloes, 1 lion and 1 serval cat in his 10 years at Lewa.

This is just one story among so many showing the incredible work of Kenyans who work so hard to protect the wildlife here. The #Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is the pioneer private rhino sanctuary in East #Africa, established in 1983 to protect the last of #Kenya's black rhinos, whose population had plummeted to near extinction.

I am working with these incredible conservancies to highlight the important work they are doing to protect the people and #wildlife of Kenya. Please support these rangers at @lewa_wildlife and@NRT_KENYA
