Leikerio is a Massaï. He works at the Lewa reserve at the foot of Mount Kenya and he is responsible for the protection of the 39 rhinoceroses living in the sanctuary. Like many other species, the rhino is threatened with extinction and the protection of guardian angels like Leikerio represents their only chance of survival.

Thus, at the very bottom, on the lowest rung of this new wildlife protection ladder, there are men and women, natives of the region, who struggle with the limited means at their disposal, but with great dedication, so that their patch of forest, their crocodiles or their spider monkeys do not disappear immediately.
