[quote]Thanks to cowardly poachers, this is the last male northern white rhino left on the planet, and he’s called Sudan.
Sudan lives at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, and thankfully, he is very well looked after. So much so, that he has 24/7 armed guard protection.
The conservancy takes the threat of this beautiful animal becoming extinct very, very seriously, and rightly so. It should never have got to this point in the first place. There are 40 armed rangers that patrol the 90,000-acre conservancy, which is also home to 23 white rhinos and 105 black rhinos, making it the largest black rhino sanctuaries in East Africa.
However 40-year-old Sudan is their main priority alongside the other two female white rhinos that they also watch over more closely.
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy hopes to raise funds in order to keep the rhino rangers safe, which in turn gives hope of a future for the animal.[/quote]
Rest of the Article has pictures of bodyguards stationed directly near the Rhino and some Twitter tweets.
I don't know about you guys, but this is pretty twisted in so many ways. One might say that this basically is a backward Affirmative Action in Africa and the other would say that this is terrible that the said Rhino species is being driven to extinction.

"Oh man, we better save that rhino species" "We will, just wait until only one is left though"

Is extinct in the wild. Those are the last 3 in existence. Not only that, the adult female is too old to reproduce, the young female is still too small to breed with a full grown rhino, and the male rhino has weak sperm. That species is good as gone.

Just to clear things up this is one of the last NORTH White Rhinos There are many in the South but being poached at an exponential rate E.g 13 poached in 2007 1215 poached in 2014

Just think about this... Someone with a lot of money wants that final Rhinos horn. Yeah, the poachers who live in a 3rd world country are such terrible human beings... Being offered ridiculously high amounts of money, that would literally support them for their entire lives. Don't blame the megalomaniacal billionaires that YOU work for and support, who have paid high sums of money to the poachers. Heaven forbid, everything you acquiesce from your society, should be the real reason, or if you can contemplate such beliefs, the evil within the world. The sooner you realise it's we, not them, the sooner you can have an understanding of us.
