Kenya approximately 300 kilometres north of Nairobi ON June 14, 2015 .In the wake of Kenya?s bloodiest week – losing seven rhinos across the country – the group of maasai warriors came together to raise awareness on rhino conservation by taking part in a charity tournament dubbed the ‘Last Male Standing’. Since 2007 there has been a 10,000 percent increase in poaching in South Africa alone, according to a report and Sudan is the last male of five nothern-white rhinos remaining on the planet.
