A critically endangered baby eastern black rhino was born in Kenya, marking a significant conservation success for the species in the Chyulu Hills region, where there are only around eight individuals in the local population. The calf, believed to be six months old, was discovered through a complex system of cameras and motion-sensor monitoring rangers in the area. The birth comes after an increase in monitoring and anti-poaching efforts in the region, which have contributed to the survival of the population, although conservationists remain cautious due to the ongoing risk of poaching.
