A Kenyan conservation group has installed high-speed Internet tracking to help guard cattle herds from hungry lions and eventually protect the East African nation’s dwindling rhino population. 

Ol Pejeta Conservancy, about 148 kilometres (92 miles) north of the capital, Nairobi, is home to more than 110 black rhinos, 30 southern white rhinos and the world’s last two northern white rhinos.
