Hay Drops of Hope: Saving Livestock and Wildlife During Drought

On this World Rhino Day 2023, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your heroic actions that spurred the scaling-up of the Livestock and Wildlife Hay Drops initiative during one of the most severe droughts Kenya has faced in over 40 years. The supplementary hay and lucerne feeding saved endangered species like the black rhino from the prolonged drought. Your incredible donations through the # SaveAGeneration Emergency Drought Appeal also ensured vital food and water reached communities on the brink of starvation. These are committed people who have devoted their lands to biodiversity conservation, call home wildlife-rich landscapes, or live near migratory corridors and dispersal areas. Unfortunately, these nature custodians bear the greatest brunt of human-wildlife conflict during drought as livestock and wildlife compete for scarce water and pasture. Your support made a world of difference to them!
