Our project aims to restore the degraded Aberdare Forest by addressing the impacts of illegal logging, charcoal burning, and encroachment. To reverse this damage, we are planting indigenous tree species and supporting local communities with improved cookstoves and biogas units. These efforts not only restore the ecosystem but also enhance community resilience to climate change.
To take this shot, Federico Veronesi parked at a waterhole in Kenya’s Solio Game Reserve, lay down flat on the floor of his vehicle and waited. Then a herd of southern white rhinos walked in.
Look at the length of those horns. In a place where poachers still hunt rhinos for their horns, horns this long show that this sanctuary works.
Solio was Kenya’s first rhino sanctuary. It has bred critically endangered black rhinos and moved them into other protected areas across the country. It also brought southern white rhinos back to Kenya.
Protecting wildlife also means protecting the places where it lives. That’s why I plant trees. 🌳
Federico, this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year Grand Title winner, is showing this image at London’s Natural History Museum. Go see it if you can!
