Episode 10 - Talking with James Mwenda about rhino conservation and taking care of the last two northern white rhinos left alive

James is a photographer, safari guide, conservation speaker and ranger at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. He is in charge of taking care of the last two northern white rhinos on the entire planet. We spoke about his work with these precious creatures, his experiences of human/wildlife conflict and the affect of the covid-19 pandemic on game reserves and conservancies like Ol Pejeta  you can find more about James' work here: https://www.instagram.com/jemu_mwenda/?hl=en; here: https://www.facebook.com/james.mwenda.1276 and here: https://www.olpejetaconservancy.org/

[Friendly audio quality warning! ⚠️When editing this episode I noticed a couple of quality issues due to a fault with my microphone and background noise. It's a little bit annoying but please don't let this put you off listening. The things James has to say are far more important than my less than professional audio set-up!]
