    Probable extinction of the western black rhino MANAGEMENT Biological management of the high density black rhino population in Solio Game Reserve, central Kenya Felix Patton, Petra Campbell, Edward Parfet c/o Solio Ranch, PO Box 2, Naro Moru, Kenya; email: [email protected] Abstract Optimising breeding performance in a seriously endangered species such as the black rhinoceros (Diceros bi- cornis) is essential. Following an estimation of the population demography of the black rhinos in Solio Game Reserve, Kenya and a habitat evaluation, a model of the Ecological Carrying Capacity showed there was a seri- ous overstocking. Data analysis of the first year of rhino monitoring indicated a poor breeding performance of 3.8% and a poor inter-calving interval in excess of 36 months. Biological management was required to improve the performance of the population by the removal of a significant number of individuals – 30 out of the 87. The criteria for selection were: to take no young animals i.e. around 3.5 years of age, to take no breeding females i.e. those with calves, to take care to maintain some breeding males in Solio, to attempt to ensure some breed- ing males are part of the ‘new’ population, to take care to leave a balanced population, to take care to create a balanced population in the ‘new’ population, to move those individuals that were hard to identify and to keep individuals which were easy for visitors to see. The need for careful candidate selection, the comparison of the population demography pre- and post-translocation, and the effect of the translocation activity on the remaining Solio population are discussed.

  • African Studies Collection 63 an Ethnography of the World of Thean Ethnography World
    Marlous van den Akker African Studies Collection 63 Monument of Monument of nature? Monument of nature? nature? Monument of nature? an ethnography of the World Heritage of Mt. Kenya an ethnography of the World an ethnography of the World examines the World Heritage status of Mt. Kenya, an alpine area located in Central Kenya. In 1997 Mt. Kenya joined the World Heritage List due to Heritage of Mt. Kenya its extraordinary ecological and geological features. Nearly fifteen years later, Mt. Kenya World Heritage Site expanded to incorporate a wildlife conservancy bordering the mountain in the north. Heritage of Mt. Kenya Both Mt. Kenya’s original World Heritage designation and later adjustments were founded on, and exclusively formulated in, natural scientific language. This volume argues that this was an effect not only of the innate qualities of Mt. Kenya’s landscape, but also of a range of conditions that shaped the World Heritage nomination and modification processes. These include the World Heritage Convention’s rigid separation of natural and cultural heritages that reverberates in World Heritage’s bureaucratic apparatus; the ongoing competition between two government institutes over the management of Mt. Kenya that finds its origins in colonial forest and game laws; the particular composition of Kenya’s political arena in respectively the late 1990s and the early 2010s; and the precarious position of white inhabitants in post-colonial Kenya that translates into permanent fears for losing Marlous van den Akker property rights. Marlous van den Akker (1983) obtained a Master’s degree in cultural anthropology from the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology at Leiden University in 2009.

  • East Africa Programme Quarterly Report (May – August 2017)
    East Africa Programme Quarterly Report (May – August 2017) Background In mid-2016, the Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) opened an East Africa office, based in Nairobi, to better support giraffe conservation initiatives in the region by establishing a regional base. These efforts focus on collaborations with government institutions, private stakeholders, along with local and international NGOs. The East African region is critical for the long-term survival of wild populations of giraffe as it is home to three distinct species of giraffe: Masai giraffe (Giraffa tippelskirchi), reticulated giraffe (Giraffa reticulata) and Nubian giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis). This is the second Quarterly Report for 2017 and it highlights the programmes that GCF has initiated towards conserving the three giraffe species in the region. Broad-ranging programmes A recent genetic study by GCF and partners on giraffe taxonomy revealed that there are four distinct giraffe species with five subspecies. In order to further our understanding of the taxonomic findings of this initial study, GCF has partnered with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre. Kenya is home to three of the four extant species of giraffe, however, it is unknown whether different species have interbred (hybridised) in their current and historical overlapping ranges. With our support KWS is currently collecting tissue biopsy samples from giraffe populations across the country. After analysis, these results will provide crucial information on the genetic diversity of giraffe populations in Kenya. Findings from this study will help inform conservation management practices since all three species are faced with varying threats. Thus far, KWS have collected 112 samples (59 male and 53 female) from across Nairobi National Park, Ngong Nature Reserve, Kigio Wildlife Conservancy, Soysambu Wildlife Conservancy, Hell’s Gate NP and surrounding farms, and Lake Nakuru National Park (Fig.

Darwin Project Information Project Reference No. 162/12/004 Project title Building capacity for conservation of a critically endangered flagship species Country Kenya UK Contractor Zoological Society of London Partner Organisation (s) Kenya Wildlife Service, IUCN SSC AfRSG Darwin Grant Value £175058 Start/End date 1 June 2003 – 31 March 2007 Project website Author(s), date Dr R. Amin, B. Okita-Ouma, Dr R. Emslie, K. Adcock (15th July 2007) 2. Project Background/Rationale This project implements priorities listed in the Kenya 5-year Black Rhino Strategy (KBRS), which was produced jointly by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), ZSL, African Rhino Specialist Group (AfRSG) and other stake-holders/NGOs and endorsed at the highest level within KWS. The project was developed in collaboration with the KWS rhino programme co-ordinator and the KWS rhino scientist, alongside input from the IUCN SSC AfRSG. Kenya held, at the end of 2003, 86% of the estimated 500 remaining critically endangered eastern black rhino (Diceros bicornis michaeli). The 5-year KBRS has given the highest priority to their biological management to help achieve and maintain rapid meta-population growth to increase rhino numbers. Specific training and capacity-building in rhino monitoring (from field data collection to end-reporting) were identified as urgently required. Procedures to assess black rhino habitat carrying capacity have become a necessity to assist in developing new viable populations in Kenya and to manage existing rhino sanctuaries, most of which face loss of suitable habitat through high rhino- and competing browser- densities.

  • Dissertation Part I
    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/39726 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation. Author: Akker, M.L. van den Title: Monument of nature? An ethnography of the world heritage of Mt. Kenya Issue Date: 2016-05-25 NOTES 1 This service is offered since 2012 and, according to Meskell & Brumann, has had some notable effects. Live streaming of World Heritage meetings for instance led to home ministries following the proceedings closely while instructing their representatives on the spot. Also, aware of the increased visibility, some speakers now tailor their speeches to online audiences (2015: 35). 2 The upcoming body of literature on organizations (see for instance Gellner & Hirsch 2001; Harper 1998; Hilhorst 2003) and the upcoming body of literature on elites (see for instance Lutz 2005; Salverda & Abbink 2013; Shore & Nugent 2002) suggest that anthropologists are increasingly making efforts in this direction. 3 Publications may destroy the relationship with one’s informants and anthropological writing may alienate the researcher from the researched. Mosse (2006) maintains that, even though this can create very uncomfortable situations, it should not be taken as an indicator of the quality of one’s work – he suggests that the social does not necessarily have to be analysed socially, and rejects the idea that evidence is always a matter of consensus (Ibid.: 947). 4 The situation in England was entirely different from the situation on the main land: here, law already allowed for the free alienation of all one’s possessions as early as the second half of the twelfth century (MacFarlane 1998: 109-111).

  • Solio Ranch – Samburu Riserva – Ol Pejeta Conservancy 7 Giorni /6 Notti
    “SELVAGGIO SAMBURU” Solio Ranch – Samburu Riserva – Ol Pejeta Conservancy 7 giorni /6 notti " Selvaggio Samburu " LA RISERVA DI SOLIO La Riserva privata di Solio (45Kmq) si trova tra il Monte Kenya e i Monti di Aberdare. Solio Ranch è patria di un gran numero di rinoceronti bianchi e neri che vivono in armonia con la restante fauna selvatica. Causa il bracconaggio, l’accesso alla zona, giustamente, è complicato: ogni auto è controllata, ogni passeggero deve esibire i documenti, compilare e firmare una dichiarazione, lasciare i propri dati. Tre cancelli da superare e piccole tende di ranger armati all’interno della riserva tutelano i rinoceronti dai bracconieri privi di ogni scrupolo che li uccidono solo per prenderne il lungo corno. Purtroppo in qualche paese asiatico il corno di rinoceronte è considerato afrodisiaco e pagato a peso d’oro. Il risultato è che questo splendido animale che fino a qualche decennio fa era un signore incontrastato delle pianure africane ora sta scomparendo.
