| Giants Summit good news for elephants and rhinos |
| The Giants Club Summit – a gathering of African presidents, conservationists and philanthropists – has secured multi-million-dollar funding to strengthen frontline elephant protection, boost illegal wildlife trade prosecutions, and spark innovations in conservation finance across Africa. Delegates from the summit, including Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Tourism (seen above with Sudan) spent some time on Ol Pejeta on the opening day of the Summit. Here, they were able to find out more about Ol Pejeta’s innovative approach to tackling poaching, and how a wildlife crime is processed.
