–
Total Black Rhino Population in the greater
Laikipia Landscape = 1142017 – Total Black Rhino Population in the greater Laikipia Landscape = 296Almost one Black Rhino/880 acres or 3.6 sq.km.Gives tourism a focus with increases in tourism revenue, employment and tax revenues.Annual CSR contributions to neighborhoods and communities exceed $2M/yearIslands of peace, security, and innovation during times of stressDemonstrated success of mixed ranching model

Land Use
Carrying Capacity of land for healthy black rhino populationsSophistication of poaching technology and networks

Goal = Increase Kenya’s total Black Rhino Population Numbers to 2000 animals from 696 today
Role of Critical Mass Populations with
contiguous landscapes
Tsavo/Chyulu/Ngulia = 500 animalsLaikipia-Lewa = 500+ animalsOther Places withKey populations = 50+ animalsFounder populations = 20+ animals
Slide6Opportunities for Expansion of Area and Population (occur within the red outline)
The MEANS:
Private conservancies need:
Philanthropy
GrantsLand use recognitionShared Management services and costsCommunity Conservancies need:Land lease agreementsPublic-Private ModelsEasements
