Elusive rhino

During my recent visit to Kenya, I was fortunate enough to view and photograph over 5 rhinos in the wild. It was amazing to just to watch these gentle and peaceful animals in their natural habitats. It also made me realize how precious these animals are as the species faces the greatest challenge it has ever faced.

 

The horns of the rhino are in extremely high demand for buyers in China for its supposed medicinal value. It has been shown that the horn of the rhino has no actual medicinal value, however the rhino continues to be pursued as a commodity.

 

We need to continue our efforts of protecting the rhino alongside other endangered species to ensure its existence into the future. The horn of the rhino BELONGS TO THE RHINOS AND NOT in the hands of businessman!

 

Education and stronger protective measures including a complete ban on animal parts around the world will hopefully help the rhino species survive for generations to come!

 

These beautiful animals can not speak for themselves...so let’s raise our voices for their cause!
