Donated: US$ 7,500
Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a not-for-profit organisation and home to the last two Northern White Rhinos in the World. They are guarded by a dedicated team 24hrs a day. It also contains the largest population of Black Rhinos in East Africa with over 120 individuals. Ol Pejeta has a successful tracking and anti-poaching dog unit keeping this vital sustainable population of black rhino safe.
In 2017 we donated a sniffer dog via the Animals saving Animals organisation, to join this unit, responsible for checking vehicles as they enter the reserve for explosives or munitions.
A springer spaniel called Drum was bought and initially trained in the UK was deployed in Spring 2019 and is now carrying out his work, generating a huge amount of publicity for Ol Pejeta in the process, with features on the BBC and in The Times amongst many others. This is the other aim of EAE – to generate awareness of the issues facing endangered animals. Thank you Drum!
Ol Pejeta Conservancy works to conserve wildlife, provide a sanctuary for great apes, and to generate income through wildlife tourism and complementary enterprise for reinvestment in conservation and communities.
