Physical humans were the greatest enemies for these animals were 20,000 black trainers in 1970 in Kenya, and by 1990 we had 400 black rhinos left.

That's like a 96% decline.

I live right here in the Okavango Delta.

As soon as they started to ease travel within a week, poaching was back.

Ron Approaching is as much of a pandemic in the wildlife sector as covert is in the human population.

One thing that tourism does is it puts vehicles on the ground.

It puts aircraft in the air.

It puts eyes and ears on the ground.

E think tourism provides direct job to over 300,000 families in Kenya, and that trickles down to helping conservation areas to survive a kilo right now home fitted something like 60 to $65,000.

That's why you see the pattern now on the ground because that filters down to who is surviving on less than a dollar a day on.

The pressure on our park is increasing almost on a daily basis.

We need the funds to be able to support are very, very dedicated team.

We are 24 7 in the field, looking after animals.

Rhino Day is actually the kickoff of our on a week, and that's the 22nd of September 2020 and will be running a pretty intensive full program for the week.

You actually become part of the backstage conservation operational team off the reserve for the couple of days that you hear.

So we have a sequence off nachos that actually get cut into the animal's ears, which enable the rearranges to identify them as individuals.

We can't let these animals go extinct on our watch on, Certainly not because of human greed and desire.

My final message would be we are charged with that responsibility.

We need to do anything we can and they still hope.
