Years of widespread poaching and civil war savaged the rhinos’ populations, and the last few who remain are now protected by 24/7 armed guards at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Although they are already extinct in the wild, the wildlife sanctuary hopes to encourage breeding by replicating the animals’ natural habitats. In this short film by United for Wildlife and Black Bean Productions, hear from the men who guard the northern white rhinos as they share the special bond they have with the magnificent endangered creatures at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

This group of rangers are incredibly brave for protecting these northern white rhinoceros.

@delt2743 6 лет назад

National Geographic Wow thank you to these rangers caretakers and all involved. I've seen a picture of a dead rhino with its horn cut off with a chainsaw a few years ago. Still makes me sad and sick thinking about it. This video makes my heart sing happy.

@NatGeo 6 лет назад

We're so happy you enjoyed this video! The hunting of rhinos is incredibly sad, but we are so grateful for these rangers who are protecting them.

These men commit their everyday lives to protect lives that have no voice of their own. This video makes me happy as I watch that rhino cafe cuddle with these men whom saved him, this video makes me mad that parts of humanity try to slaughter these innocent and beautiful creatures, and this video makes me sad that these wonderful Rangers are not given more of a global gratitude for their selfless sacrifices. It takes a hero to save and nurture wildlife. I'm so touched by this!

@Fadedecho1 5 лет назад

Everyday i see comments listen to nonsense about debates on animal abuses / poaching / hunting.. Etc... There Is a huge difference in people in the world.. Some have heart some don't. Some have feelings some don't. Some love animals beyond their soul. Some careless. And debates go on. Animal abuse goes on. But for me i could never ever accept any explanation about them issues. As there is none. All of us were put on this planet for reason. Even the animals. BALANCE!! And we destroy all of the good. Excuses are plentiful... So my HEART and PRAYERS go out to these and ALL RANGERS. There is a huge threat to their lives daily.. The love they show is enormous. Anyone who puts life on the line for another KUDOS!!! I truly hope all these rangers get to read these comments so they know how appreciated they truly are... And so SPECIAL!!! Thank you for showing us this clip... It's deeply deserving to know who these boyz are!!! Recognition!!! 🙏✌👍🙏

The way these gentlemen talk about their animals isn't something we are used to hearing. Usually we only see them as part of a video. In the background. Without context. So to listen to them and hear their genuine love, admiration and respect for their charges is wonderful. I would watch an entire movies worth of film just to learn more about their lives. Truly dedicated, brave and impressive people.
