From poachers to protectors

For more than two decades, Solomon Mureithi knew almost every inch of Eburu Forest; the hidden trails, the quiet streams, and the animal hideouts. However, he did not walk those paths to admire nature; he went there to take from it.

He was a poacher, a logger, and at one point, one of the most notorious forest offenders. Poaching was not a crime in his eyes but a job which offered him money to fend for his family and survive.
