The 2019 London Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer of the Year LUMIX People's Choice "Highly Commended" Photo.
The future of rhinos is in our hands.
We spend so much of our energy trying to find civilizations elsewhere in the universe without realizing that the intelligent aliens we're looking for are right under our noses here on Earth. Elias Mugambi is a ranger at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in northern Kenya. He often spends weeks away from his family caring for orphaned black rhinos like Kitui here. The young rhinos are in the sanctuary as a result of poaching or because their mothers are blind and cannot care for them safely in the wild.
