Kamara and Kilifi by Ami Vitale, The Guardian, 10-12-2022
‘Kilifi was an 18-month-old rhino and his keeper, Kamara, was hand-raising him with two other baby rhinos at Lewa wildlife conservancy in Kenya. Kamara would spend 12 hours a day watching over them. Kenya’s black rhino population plummeted to near extinction but numbers are rising due to efforts by the people and government to protect them.’
