Poachers in Tsavo West National Park in Kenya have killed two of the country's rhinos in the space of a week, the BBC reports.
A female northern white rhino named Najin and a male northern white rhino named Sudan were found dead Wednesday in the park, which is home to 100 of the rhinos but only 13 of the Kenyan rhinos, according to the Kenya Wildlife Service.
The deaths bring to five the number of rhinos poachers have killed in Tsavo West National Park this year.
The World Wildlife Fund estimates the world rhino population is at 27,000, a 95% drop from a previous population of 500,000 at the beginning of the 20th century.
According to the Standard, nearly half of Kenya's rhino population died in the 1970s and early 2000s due to habitat loss and poaching; in 2013, 59 rhinos were killed in Kenya's worst year for poaching, more than 5% of the country's rhino population.
The Project Ngulia rhino conservation project in Kenya has been using cutting-edge technology, including cameras and an AI-based monitoring system, to keep an eye on the animals.
"I call it the'super eyes and ears' of the rangers because it has enabled us to stay ahead of the poachers," Donald Bung
