The  Kenya Forest Service (KFS) will continue to work with the RhinoArk Charitable Trust to ensure all forests are secure from human encroachment.

KFS chairman Peter Kirigua said  concerted efforts  by the Rhino Trust team in the last 26 years have helped them control logging, keep off poachers and assist  in achieving a seven percent tree cover in the country.
