Description
Conserving endangered species of mammals involves implementing targeted actions such as habitat protection, anti-poaching enforcement, captive breeding, and reintroduction programs. These measures aim to stabilize and increase populations at risk of extinction by addressing threats like habitat loss, illegal hunting, and genetic decline. Effective conservation requires coordinated monitoring, legal protection, and community engagement to ensure the long-term survival and recovery of vulnerable mammal species in their natural environments.
Implementation
The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) has cooperated with the Kenyan government and other agencies in setting up the Lake Nakuru National Park Rhino Sanctuary. Solar powered electric fences have now been erected around the sanctuary, and 28 black rhinos as well as two white rhinos (the only two in Kenya) have been settled there. It is reported that breeding prospects are good. Action plans for African elephants and rhinos, Asian elephants and rhinos, primates, cats and polar bears have been published by UNEP and IUCN.
