Keep Rhinos Horny!

Keep rhinos wild & horny!! Did I get your attention? We need to spread awareness about the continual killing--poaching--of rhinos! These majestic animals are dangerously close to becoming extinct and what a truly heartbreaking end that would be for our planet. I'm saddened to report that their status of being an endangered species is due to human activities--mainly poaching for their rhino horn.

I'd like to think that people who generally care about life on our planet outweigh (and hopefully outnumber) those that want to do our planet & all its living creatures harm. So, there is hope. We can save the rhinos!  
At the start of the 20th century there were 500,000 rhinos across Africa and Asia. Now there are only about 29,000 wild rhinos roaming the area.

What keeps me hopeful about humanity is that there are so many inspiring people all over the world who work tirelessly to protect our wildlife. So many things have already been done to bring awareness to the plight of rhinos. People have donated their time, their voice, & their money to the cause and some put themselves on the front lines and in harms way to stop the senseless rhino poaching. They are the heroes of the planet!

Visit Michael Daniel Ho's website for more amazing wildlife photography.
Here are some suggestions of what you can do to help #SaveTheRhinos:
  • Fundraise & help monetarily support conservation efforts.
  • Purchase #SaveTheRhino gear to donate funds or simply assist in bringing awareness to more people. 
  • Spread the word
Spread the Rhino love!

We can do this!
