The #Kenya team & @TsavoTrust continued their outreach with #communities this week. This focus group around #livelihoods and #wellbeing helped us gain a deeper understanding of the people we are working with in our @Darwin_Defra project. @OfficialZSL
Who has “four eyes” & is notoriously hard to photograph? The Hirola! There are only 500 left in the world. Learn how our @robindmoore got beautiful close-ups of this Critically Endangered antelope, & how we are partnering with @TsavoTrust to protect it. https://t.co/1QxLx4vs6Y
Our #Kenya community team & @TsavoTrust carried out socioeconomic & human-wildlife conflict surveys with #communities bordering Tsavo for our @Darwin_Defra project, creating a baseline to measure the impact of our work to build financial resilience in these vulnerable communities
With ivory to the ground and weighing at least 45kg per tusk, the 'super tusker' elephant is the closest thing to a pre-historic creature that still resides on this planet.This is the story of the few remaining super tuskers in Kenya and those who work to protect them.@TsavoTrust
This here is Mondrian’s 2nd calf who was born recently in Samburu National Reserve. A total mother’s girl, Mondrian’s newborn is always by her mother’s side if not under her! Can you take a guess at which elephant family Mondrian belongs to? Photo: @robbielab / Save the Elephants

We are seeking urgent funding to maintain the current level of aerial security we provide for the last remaining ‘Big Tuskers’ of Tsavo and without the kindness and concern for conservation from our supporters, our aerial operations would be under threat https://t.co/1kX5b0r7No
Today's #MondayMotivation is brought to you courtesy of Symposium attendee Vincent Manero who took this amazing photo of one of the majestic elephants from Adventures With Elephants, our conference co-hosts. We hope everyone was inspired, made connections, & arrived home safely.
Happy #WorldRhinoDay to Jumbe, our 16-year-old male Eastern black rhino. When you visit the Zoo and pay $10 to feed Jumbe (at noon through the end of this month), you get up close with this adorable face AND support @TsavoTrust and their work to protect wild rhinos and elephants.
Animal & marine biodiversity keeps our ecosystems functional allowing us to survive & make a living. When these species reduce in number, both ecosystems & different communities suffer the after effects
