Sudan, last male northern white rhino, dies in Kenya
The death of a (sub-)species.We are destined to see more of this in our lifetimes, given how some people treat the natural world and our animal kingdom neighbours..Other sub-species of rhinos, and even elephants, may not be far behind.But we are making progress. In the 1980s, it is estimated that over 600,000 elephants were killed by poachers in less than 10 years.We are now "down" to 20,000 killed per year by poaching.  But sadly, this is still more than are actually born in a year, so it's not quite enough progress, and there is still much work to be done.If you feel like supporting conservation and education efforts to help with this progress, here are a few places to start:The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust[0], The Amboseli Trust[1], Save the Rhino[2], and of course the World Wildlife Fund[3] if you want to support conservation in a broader sense.0: https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/1: https://www.elephanttrust.org/2: https://www.savetherhino.org/3: https://support.worldwildlife.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=...
