The plight of our rhinos demands our immediate attention, and it is with grave concern that we address
the sombre reality that our current efforts are failing these magnificent creatures. In the past 12 years, we
have mourned the loss of two subspecies: the western black rhino in 2011 and the northern white rhino
in 2018. The African rhino, which once roamed freely in 29 range states in 1977, has now been declared
extinct in 24 of them.
