A little good news for #WorldRhinoDay. 🦏 A remote camera in the Chyulu Hills captured Namunyak and her calf, now about 16 months old and thriving. Every calf matters for critically endangered Eastern black rhinos. Thanks to our rangers, partners, communities, and you for helping give them a future.

Living alongside lions comes with a cost. In 2026, Big Life has provided $47,000+ for livestock lost to predators and helped stop all 7 attempted retaliatory lion hunts. Coexistence means protecting lions and supporting people. ow.ly/K0pH50ZJtSo

Vultures may not have the star power of elephants or lions, but they’re essential to healthy ecosystems. Reducing retaliatory poisoning of predators also protects vultures and other scavengers that may feed on poisoned carcasses. #InternationalVultureAwarenessDay

How far does it take to protect 2 million acres? In the first 6 months of 2026, Big Life’s rangers traveled 366,539 km across the Greater Amboseli Ecosystem—the equivalent of circling Earth 9+ times to protect wildlife and habitat. Read the full Q2 report: ow.ly/XBL350ZIRPt
