Photo by amivitale / Yusuf watches over Kilifi and the other young rhinos at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (lewa_wildlife), in 2013. This was my first glimpse into the unwavering commitment of these rangers and the sacrifices they make to protect endangered animals. Kilifi was one of under 5,500 black rhinos remaining on the planet. He was feisty, social, and adored by everyone who met him.
