Kenya is known for iconic wildlife, such as the African Elephant Loxodonta africana and the critically Endangered Black Rhinoceros Diceros bicornis. But many of these species have been under pressure for the last half a century from several factors, including the illegal wildlife trade, which the government authorities and wildlife crusaders have been fighting.
