Rhino’s return to Chad

May 14, 2018 christopherjgervais Leave a comment

Six black rhino return to Zakouma National Park in Chad. The species has not been seen in this country for nearly 50 years after having been killed off by poachers.

The population of black rhinos is down nearly 98% since 1960 with an estimate at just 5,000 black rhinos remaining in Africa. Poaching for their horns, used in traditional medicine in Asia continues to be significant threat to their survival.

The last male Northern White Rhino

March 20, 2018 christopherjgervais Leave a comment

Sudan, the world’s last male northern white rhinoceros, has died at the age of 45 years old in Kenya at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. His death leaves the species functionally extinct, as only two females remain. Northern white rhinos used to be found in an area spanning Uganda, Chad, southwestern Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Some 2,000 existed in 1960, but war and poaching drove them to extinction in the wild. Ignorance & greed lead to this tragedy.

Less than 12 Vaquita porpoise remain, fewer then 40 Sumatran Rhinoceros are left, the Yangtze River Dolphin is gone and the North Atlantic Right Whale population is crashing. How many more species must we lose before the world wakes up?
