If only they were native to Aotearoa.

In Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy, two rhinos live under round-the-clock human protection — watched over by armed guards who never leave their side. These are Najin and Fatu, the last two northern white rhinos left on Earth. Since the death of the last male, Sudan, in 2018, these two females have become the final hope for their subspecies’ survival. Rangers protect them 24/7 from poachers, ensuring their safety in a world that has nearly erased them from existence. Their daily life is one of routine care, quiet companionship, and global significance.

Behind the scenes, scientists are racing to rewrite extinction. Using advanced reproductive technologies, teams have collected eggs and preserved genetic material from both Najin and Fatu, hoping to create embryos that could restore the population through surrogate mothers. It’s a bold intersection of science and conservation — one that could decide whether this species will return or vanish forever.

The fate of an entire lineage now rests in the care of these two extraordinary animals — living symbols of humanity’s failure and its last chance at redemption.

He Waka Tautoko was busy busy tonight keeping the peace in Papatoetoe area.

We don't muck around when the times comes.

We are swift.

We do try to deescalate first and foremost to prevent needing to call however some times people still cant accept being asked not to do things nicely and the police are required.

We are here to help , not to get people locked up but when things become unsafe then we will ENSURE COMMUNITY SAFETY !!

We are here to ensure public safety and engagement!!

We are here to listen and to guide.

We are here to make public spaces welcoming.

If and when we need to, we do NOT waste time. Tonight alone we have called the police for more fingers on a single hand. Appalling.

We will try to deescalate but when things go beyond our capabilities we will ALWAYS make that call.

Thank you to the Police for their fast, efficient response tonight.

Positions available nationwide !
