Global march4elephants&Rhinos 2015

I am justice to wildlife, are you? Kenyans conservationists wake up to stand up and shout out for the threatening poaching menace to our magnificent and iconic Elephants and Rhinos globally. At this moment northern white Rhinos are toward extinctions only five survive on earth with no hope to multiply, Non of them can breed due to the only Sudan male in Olpejeta conservancy can no longer mate.

Every 15 minutes one Elephant is killed for the high demand of their ivory in the black market. Our animals our heritage our responsibility, Together we can end this extinction our hope while walking 14kms from Nairobi Museum to KWS headquarters Nairobi national park. We marched through the city to passed this message to the global leaders to quickly crash ivory and Rhinos horns market to secure our animals in our beautiful Savannah sceneries, where they deserve to enjoy their lives and multiply with no worries. I heard a nice spoken word from Mzee Nairuko from Narok county saying before formation of global march for these species, we as Maasai are the only conserving these animals, so my message to our Kenyans is to join us in this journey?
Many thanks indeed for all who participate for this march because we will never give up until we win the race.

Tunapanda Institute research more about 3Rs that's reduce, recycle and re-use, We started our trip walking through Kibera to Langata road and board a Matatu to Ongata Rongai in Kajiado County. We then board three Tuktuks passing Silole Sanctuary Kitengela at the edges of Nairobi national park.

Hot temperatures of 1100 degrees source from Gas and used engine oil burned 24 hrs non stop yearly.
After the fruits Bowl manufacturing process finished the glass takes 18 hrs to cool then ready to be used.
We are grateful for the visit to learn more about the industry of glasses which we usually thought are all imported to Kenya but now in a really sense Innovations in Tech-world Kenyans are contributing in their entrepreneurship work. Many thanks indeed to every one for a great day.
