Yesterday we were privileged to have Ben Woodhams join our armed ranger team for a morning run on Ol Pejeta Conservancy. 7 year old Ben is a participant in the @ForRangers Virtual Ultra Marathon and has managed to finish the 1,245 km race in just under 6 months!
He has also managed to raise $2,384 in support of the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep rhino safe on Ol Pejeta. Such impressive feats for a young boy with an indefatigable spirit.
#VirtualUltraKenya
Accompanied by his dad Adam Woodhams, Ben ran a 7.71km stretch with our armed ranger team, incredibly leading from start to finish! We are so proud of you Ben and hope that other kids get inspired by your passion for conservation!

It’s only April and Melissa Singleton has nearly finished the 1,245km @ForRangers ​ Ol Pejeta #VirtualUltra. With the support of her husband Brad and daughter Zahra, Melissa has maintained a dedicated routine that has left her with just 65kms to go.
A few years ago, she visited Ol Pejeta and met Sudan, which played a huge part in her desire to participate in the #marathon and do what she could to raise money for #rhino conservation.
The race isn’t quite over yet - she still needs to raise a bit more to reach the necessary US$1,000. Help her help rhinos by donating on her page here donate.olpejetaconservancy.org/fundraisers/me…. Melissa, we are very grateful for your efforts.

As a Conservancy, we fully believe in the active participation of children in conservation. This is the only way to ensure conservation efforts are sustainable as well as providing an important channel for imparting values of environmental stewardship to the next generation.
Last month, the @KeForestService donated 400 tree seedlings that we used to facilitate tree planting days in Weruini and Tharua Primary Schools as well as Lechugu Secondary School.
Over the coming weeks, the tree planting will continue in Lechugu, Tigithi, Wathituga and Uaso Nyiro Primary schools. Kenya’s forest cover is currently estimated at 7% according to statistics by the Ministry of Environment.

It is with great sadness that Ol Pejeta Conservancy and the Dvůr Králové Zoo announce that Sudan, the world’s last male northern white rhino, age 45, died at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya on March 19th, 2018 (yesterday). #SudanForever #TheLoneBachelorGone #Only2Left
Sudan was being treated for age-related complications that led to degenerative changes in muscles and bones combined with extensive skin wounds. His condition worsened significantly in the last 24 hours; he was unable to stand up and was suffering a great deal.
The veterinary team from the Dvůr Králové Zoo, Ol Pejeta and Kenya Wildlife Service made the decision to euthanize him.
