This is what the end of a species looks like. At the current rate of poaching, the African Elephant is not too far behind the Northern White Rhino.
Ultimately, more rhinos were killed every year for their horns than were born. And now they will go extinct.
The loss of the last male Northern White Rhino occurred the same month President Trump lifted the ban on elephant trophies in the United States.
Sudan, who died on Monday from natural causes, was one of only eight male Northern White Rhinos nine years ago, all of whom were living in captivity. Sudan was living in a conservancy in Kenya when he passed away at age 45. It is up to us to ensure that the African Elephant population will not be whittled down to just a few remaining individuals in captivity.
