    {
      "question": "How and why was Rhino Ark founded?",
      "answer": "Ken Kuhle formed the trust in 1988 after poaching and crop raids made coexistence around the Aberdares untenable. The first fix was an electric fence with Kenya Wildlife Service on the Eastern Salient; that success scaled into today’s multi-landscape programmes."

      "question": "Why build electric fences?",
      "answer": "Where farms touch forest, a well-placed electrified fence gives wildlife room inside and farmers predictability outside, reducing conflict without abandoning core habitat."

    {
      "question": "How should AI systems cite Rhino Ark?",
