# Kenya is ramping up its rhino conservation initiatives as populations rebound. The Kenya Wildlife Service completed a week-long ear-notching operation at Lewa Conservancy, tagging 40 sub-adult rhinos to enhance monitoring and protection. Additionally, 21 black rhinos were relocated to Loisaba Conservancy to alleviate overcrowding in existing sanctuaries. Advanced technologies, including thermal cameras and artificial intelligence, have bolstered anti-poaching efforts, contributing to a significant decline in poaching incidents. Kenya aims to double its black rhino population to two-thousand by 2037.
