"In this fight, every life counts." -- John Kamara

John Kamara, a baby-rhino keeper at Kenya's Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, gets up close with Kilifi, a two-year-old critically endangered black rhinoceros. In his 10 years at Lewa, Kamara has raised about 25 animals, including warthogs, giraffes, and a cheetah.
