Iprojekthi eyazalwa ngabantu abathanda ulondolozo lwendalo malunga neminyaka engama-21 eyadlulayo, ngeli xesha lo mbhaleli wayesahlala eKenya, uye wafika isangqa esipheleleyo xa kwakumiselwa iipali zokugqibela kwiveki ephelileyo ukuze kugqitywe ukubiyelwa kweAberdare National Park. YayiyiRhino Ark kaKen Kuhle eyaqala le projekthi ekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1980, xa kwaqokelelwa imali yokuqalisa ukubiyela iindawo ezibuthathaka zale paki ukunqanda izilwanyana zasendle ezibhadula ziye kwiifama ezisebumelwaneni, lo gama kwangaxeshanye ithintela abazingeli ukuba bangene epakini ukuze balandele. ishishini labo eliphalaza igazi lokubulala izilwanyana ukuze bafumane iimbasa.
“Kwimihla yakudala,” iindlovu kunye nezinye iinyamakazi zazifuduka zisuka kwiiNtaba zeAberdare zisingise kwiNtaba yaseKenya ukuya kutsho kwiRift Valley, kodwa uxinzelelo lwabemi banamhlanje iKenya yenze ukuba imfuduko ibe yinto engenakwenzeka kwezo ndawo zelizwe, njengoko. Iifama kunye nemizi yamakhaya ngoku isasazeke kwipaki, inqunyulwa kwezinye iindawo apho izilwanyana zifunyanwa khona.
Iprojekthi yokubiya, ngoku exabisa malunga nezigidi ezingama-900 zeesheleni zaseKenya, yaqala ngendlela ethobekileyo, “indoda yomkhombe” waseKenya ongasekhoyo uMichael Werikhe, ehamba kwilizwe lonke encedisa iTyeya yoMkhombe ekuqokeleleni imali. Ngelixa lilandela ukubiyelwa kwale paki, iqela lolondolozo liye labandakanyeka kumaphulo okutyalwa kwemithi ukuze kubuyiselwe imiphetho yehlathi kunye nokunciphisa ukutyhoboza kwangaphambili, impumelelo ebalaseleyo xa ithelekiswa nesaga esilusizi sehlathi laseMau, elithe, ngoncedo lwezopolitiko, labandezeleka. kufutshane nomonakalo ongenakulungiseka kumashumi eminyaka adlulileyo, okubangela ukunqongophala okukhulu kwamanzi ngenxa yempembelelo yokugawulwa kwemithi ngokungakhethiyo kwenye yeendawo ezingundoqo zokuqokelela amanzi eKenya. I-ray yethemba yavela kumsitho wokugqitywa ngokusesikweni xa umphathiswa onoxanduva wathi abasebenzi ababandakanyekayo kwiprojekthi ye-Aberdare kungekudala baya kudluliselwa kwiHlathi laseMau ukuze baqalise umsebenzi wokulima kwakhona amahlathi apho.
I-Aberdare National Park likhaya leeMthi eziPhakamileyo ezidumileyo kwihlabathi, apho uKumkanikazi uElizabeth II wachitha obo busuku buyingozi xa utata wakhe ongasekhoyo waswelekayo waba nguKumkanikazi ngelixa wayekwisafari eKenya. I-Tree Tops yangoku iye yatshintsha indawo kwaye yakhiwe ngokupheleleyo.
Usihlalo weprojekthi yangoku uColin Church unike olona phawu lucacileyo kumsitho wokuba iqela ngoku liza kuguqula umbono walo kwezinye iiprojekthi ezinomngeni ngokulinganayo kwaye liqhubeke nokuxhasa ukulondolozwa kwezilwanyana zasendle kunye nendalo eKenya.
Abo benza iprojekthi ye-Aberdare ibe yinyani, akunakwenzeka njengoko kwakubonakala kumashumi amabini eminyaka eyadlulayo xa ingcamango yazalwa, yibhodi kunye nabasebenzi beTyeya yeRhino; iKenya, umbutho wezolondolozo wengingqi nowamazwe ngamazwe othe wanegalelo kwaye wanyusa ngaphezulu kwesithathu kwisiqingatha sebhiliyoni yeeShillings; kunye norhulumente waseKenya othe wasebenzisa izibonelelo (ngaphezu kwekhulu lezigidi zeesheleni zaseKenya) kwaye wanikezela ngenkxaso yakhe esemthethweni kule projekthi, ngokufuthi phezu kokuchaswa ngabahlali basekuhlaleni.
