SEO U LOKELANG HO SE NKA HO SEHLOOHO ENA:
- Colin Church, one of East Africa's renowned conservationists, had also been the public advocate for the Black Rhino serving as the Chairman of the Rhino Ark Charitable Trust (2002 – 2012) as he worked to also protect other attractions of the Aberdare Park of Kenya and also Kenyan wildlife and her forests.
- Ke Kereke ea Colin e tla hopoloa ka ho phethela porojeke ea terata ea motlakase e bolelele ba lik'hilomithara tse 250 e potileng mokoloko oa lithaba Kenya e neng e etselitsoe ho boloka litsomi ntle le liphoofolo.
- This resulted in fear and aversion towards wildlife which worked in favor of poachers who then had easy access since the local community saw no value in protecting either the wildlife or the forest habitat.
