A suspected poacher was shot dead by Kenya wildlife rangers at the privately owned Solio ranch wildlife conservancy. According to the KWS assistant director of the mountain conservation area Aggrey Maumo, the suspect was shot dead while trying to enter the ranch by jumping over the fence. Early this year a rhino awareness campaign was conducted in the area to enlighten members of the community on the importance of protecting the animal.
