The conservancy has managed to sustain a large quantity of wildlife on its land; however, with this large number of animals, there is a risk of overgrazing and population from species such as elephants, zebras and giraffes. To combat this, the conservancy created three wildlife corridors, which are designed in such a way that all of the species living on the conservancy are able to pass through, except the rhino species. This is due to their insecurity in numbers and popularity in the poaching community. To achieve this they made a row of wooden posts about a meter tall and placed them a meter apart so that the rhinos would not be able to fit in between and made a mound of rocks about a meter tall spanning the entire length of the corridor so that when the rhinos go up to the corridor they see it as a wall due to their poor eyesight. These corridors link up with a conservancy next door, creating biodiversity between the two conservancies. However, with the animals being able to roam between the conservancies, it can be difficult to monitor what species are travelling and how many of each are moving between. For this, they have placed 3 to 4 cameras and raked soft dirt at each corridor to look at the different prints for species identification and the cameras to count how many of each species move through the corridors.

While in Kenya, I also visited the Reteti elephant sanctuary. This sanctuary takes in orphaned elephants that have often fallen into water wells made by the local community and animals during seasonal droughts. The sanctuary rescues these baby elephants and raises them until they are around 5 before releasing them back into the wild. The elephants are fed every three hours with goat's milk brought from the local community and mixed with various ingredients such as Malaysia, honey, and a selection of minerals based on the individual elephant's needs. The elephants are accompanied out into the brush by volunteers to teach them what they would have to taught by their herds in the wild so that when they are released, they have the best chance of survival. while there we also learned that they rescued giraffes as well who were raised and released in a very similar way to the elephants, the biggest difference being that the giraffes often left on their own, we were given the opportunity to touch one of the 1 year old giraffes that was still at the sanctuary and I was amazed by their gentleness given their size.

We were also taken out to partake in rhino tracking with some of the rangers to identify and log any rhinos that we found. Once we located a rhino, we used a pair of binoculars to identify the rhino using notches in its ears. When we had identified the rhino, we were given the opportunity to radio back to the communication office and inform them of which rhino we had found, if they were by themselves, where on the conservancy we were and what they were doing. While we were looking for the rhinos, we found tracks and rhino middens telling us if there were any in the area recently, what type of rhino it was, and what direction they were likely heading in. This opportunity allowed me to see to what extent the rangers go in order to protect the rhinos that live on the conservancy.

We were informed of all the work Ol Pejeta does, collaborating with other conservancies to increase the rhino population. They do this by relocating some of their rhinos when they are at max capacity on the conservancy to other areas to increase their population in other conservancies. Ol Pejeta has the capability to keep around 160 black rhinos before the environment begins to suffer from overpopulation. When the conservancy reaches its maximum capacity for the rhinos and any other species, they collaborate with other conservancies that have a small population of the species to relocate some of the animals from Ol Pejeta.
