Your continued support is a beacon of hope in our conservation efforts, and we have an inspiring update we are excited to share with you.
On August 24, 2025, National Geographic premiered "The Last Rhinos: A New Hope," a powerful documentary now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. This film tells the story of Najin and Fatu—the last two northern white rhinos on Earth—and the remarkable team, including our dedicated staff, who are fighting for their future.
As a valued supporter, you know that the death of Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, became the catalyst for one of the most daring conservation efforts ever attempted. Here at Ol Pejeta, we refuse to let extinction be the end of their story.
The film explores the cutting-edge science and intimate bonds that are at the heart of the BioRescue project. You’ll see the groundbreaking work to create a lifeline for the species, from every egg retrieved and every embryo created. You will also witness the challenges the team has faced, including the devastating loss of surrogate rhino Curra, which, in its own heartbreaking way, proved that our pioneering science is working.
Progress in science is rarely straightforward. But thanks to your support, our team continues to push the boundaries of what is possible, learning and adapting with every step. "The Last Rhinos: A New Hope" is a testament to the courage and resilience of those fighting to save a species, and it's a story that you are a vital part of.
Your generosity makes this work possible, providing the critical resources needed for this monumental effort. We invite you to watch the documentary, be inspired by the story you've helped create, and stand with us as we ensure these incredible animals are not lost forever.
With deepest gratitude,
The Team at Ol Pejeta Conservancy
