| Cricket for Conservation |
| The English have a phrase – ‘it’s just not cricket’ – to describe something that is unfair or unacceptable. They’d probably say that the rhino poaching crisis is ‘just not cricket’ but in the case of the Last Male Standing tournament, we might to disagree. Yes, our annual cricket match is back!
On the 17th and 18th June,12 teams will meet on Ngerenyi Plain to bat it out for the winning honours. Funds raised will go toward rhino conservation. With Mount Kenya as the backdrop and rhino, giraffe, and zebra among the spectators, this is set to be a truly unique day of cricket and great fun for all the family.
Those interested in coming to cheer on the teams can find out more by e-mailing Rob from Last Male Standing. If you can’t make it, you can still support this great cause by donating here. |

From Africa’s frontlines to behind the scenes of Asian markets to the United States, the film takes an intense look at the global response to this slaughter and the desperate measures to genetically rescue the northern white rhinos who are on the edge of extinction.
