Job Description

Job Description/RequirementsABOUT THE COMPANYRhino Ark was established in 1988 as a charitable trust to help save Kenya’s Black Rhino population in the Aberdare ecosystem. The rhino were under severe threat from rampant poaching for their highly valued horn. At that time, wildlife would often invade the farms bordering the park, destroying crops; occasionally resulting in human fatalities. The resulting fear and aversion towards wildlife worked in favour of poachers who got easy access to the protected area, since the local communities saw no value in protecting either the wildlife or the forest habitat at that time.
