    There are only around 1200 rhinos remaining in Kenya. Rhinos are a keystone species whose extinction would result in the loss of unique genetic diversity and millions of years of evolutionary history. The low rhino population negatively impacts communities near Lewa Wildlife Conservancy that rely on tourism for income. While anti-poaching measures have helped stabilize the population, threats like habitat loss from human activities like agriculture continue to challenge rhino conservation efforts.

    There are only ~1200 rhinos left in Kenya

    Rhinos are a keystone species— they have a disporportionately large effect on their ecosytem.
    The extinction of rhinos would mean the loss of millions of years of evolutionary history, and unique genetic diversity that
    science has yet to fully understand and bene t from. 1

    The low rhino population speci cally
    impacts the community around
    Lewa Wildlife Conservancy Many members of this community gain
    their livelihood from wildlife preservation.
    Tourists visiting rhinos also fund many
    local schools.
    If the rhinos are gone, fewer tourists will
    come, and the community will suffer.

    One reason the rhino population is declining
    is habitat loss caused by: Human activities
    like agriculture and urbanization.

    As their habitats shrink, rhinos face


    challenges in inding adequate food, water,
    and suitable breeding grounds.

    McKinsey Problem Solving Framework
    • What is the problem? The Rhino Population in Kenya is very small.

    • Where and when does the problem occur? In Kenya, currently.

    • Who is a ected? Many other species of wildlife, communities that depend on income from
    tourists, the world at large (that could bene t from genetic diversity and the beauty of these
    animals.)
    • What will make a solution successful? If the rhino population in Kenya reaches 10,000.

    • What are the boundaries of this problem? Only within Kenya, no species other than rhinos.

    • Who or what can stop you from implementing the solution? This is a complex problem and
    the without adequate funding and the cooperation of many di erent people, it will not be
    solved.

    Proposed
    Solution #1
    By the end of 2024, pass a new
    law in Kenya that that prevents
    all current rhino habitats from
    being developed or used for
    agriculture.

    Proposed
    Solution #2
    By November 1, 2023:
    Create mobile app that tracks
    rhinos so that users can follow
    where they are. The app should
    accept donations to the World
    Wildlife Fund for rhino
    conservation.

    Proposed
    Solution #3
    By 2030, use AI to capture the full
    genome of at least 10 rhinos so that if
    they go extinct, they could potentially
    be brought back at a later time.

    User Story:
    As a game warden using the mobile app, I want
    to view the location of any rhino in Kenya at any
    time so that I can allocate rangers to protect

    User Story (Solution #2)


    them.

    Acceptance Criteria:
    Users should have a working map where any
    specific rhino’s location can be clearly
    requested and seen.

    10
    To see if the solution #1 was working,I would measure the
    following:
    All rhino deaths and rhino births each year. I would measure this
    by collecting the data gathering by the Kenya Wildlife Service.

    11
    Rhinos are unique and beautiful animals who play a
    critical role in maintaining ecosystems. They also attract
    tourists, who provide an important source of income for
    many communites.

    If we enacted a law to protect their habitats, this would go


    a long way to keep their population from declining
    further.

    Appendix

    More Facts About Rhinos:

    A typical rhino pregnancy lasts around16 months.

    Female white rhinos are able to start producing offspring when they are
    about 6 years old. A female rhino can give birth to one calf about once
    every 2-3 years.

    They gradually decline in fertility until they stop at about age 30, but
    many die before reaching this age.
