This is an inspiring story from ABC News about a San Francisco man, Mike Korchinsky, who was so troubled by human-wildlife conflict in Kenya after a trip there in 1996, that he bought up 80,000 acres of land, turned it into a wildlife refuge, hired the locals as rangers and built a clothing factory nearby to make money to support the refuge, hiring and training local women to sew.
