Anna Merz (née Hepburn; 17 November 1931 – 4 April 2013) was an English conservationist who established the Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary (now the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy) in 1983. She postponed her retirement in Kenya in 1976 to take up the task of saving black rhinoceroses from poachers wanting to slaughter them for their horns. In 1990, Merz was named to the Global 500 Roll of Honour by the United Nations Environment Programme. Following her death, a female rhinoceros calf was named Anna after her and two fictional books about Merz and a rhinoceros named Samia were published in the late 2010s.
