Scientists plan to implant embryos into the two remaining northern white rhinos (NWR) in Laikipia's Ol Pejeta Conservancy to save the species in the country from extinction.

Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) said that following the 2018 death of the last male NWR in Sudan, Assisted Reproduction Technique (ART) will be used to impregnate the two.
