SAMBURU, Kenya Day bleeds into night in this northern Kenyan town as Peter Kaipai arms himself with a long spear and starts his patrol of the Nasuula conservancy. He’s trying to protect the trees and the elephants from poachers, he tells me.
On this night, dozens of his fellow villagers accompany him, carrying spears and snares and torches as they take cover among the few trees in this arid landscape, trying to catch those who steal the wood for fuel and kill elephants for their tusks.
