Touch a rhino. Look into a rhinos eyes. Talk to a rhino and have them respond to you.
Do this and I promise you will fight for them too.
Today is the 3rd Annual World Rhino Day – create some awareness and remember – Rhino horn is NOT medicine, it’s keratin just like your fingernails.
Some rhino population stats for you:
- Javan rhino – fewer than 50
- Vietnamese Javan rhino (extinct 2010)
- Sumatran rhino – fewer than 200
- Borneo rhino – perhaps 30
- Greater one-horned rhino – 2,949
- Black rhino – 4,860
- Southern White rhino – 20,600
- Northern White rhino – 7 (these will be extinct within the next 20 years)
