Q: In the movie “I Dreamed of Africa,” Kim Basinger played a woman named Kuki Gallmann who owned a conservation ranch in Kenya. In the credits, it stated that Kuki and her daughter still run this ranch and are active in anti-poaching efforts. Are they making progress in slowing poaching?

A: Kuki Gallmann and her daughter Sveva own Ol ari Nyiro Conservancy in Kenya, which was once a cattle ranch but now is a nature conservancy.

The preserve employs 40 rangers and plans to add more observation posts, a dog team and airplane to further protect the wildlife.

“We are very active in anti-poaching,” Gallman told Q&A on the News in an email.

Efforts to stop poachers may be making some headway. The Kenyan government stated 164 elephants and 35 rhinos were killed in 2014, down from 302 elephants and 59 rhinos in 2013.
