RE: The death of a species - Remembering Sudan, the last male Northern White Rhino.

This is very disheartening but also promising in the sense that humans can do everything to prevent a species of animal from going into extinction.

How I wish they recorded success with the IVO fertilization.
Until people understand the importance of animals to living and the planet, we are no way close to stopping species extinction. A massive reorientation on extinction has to be done unless, in years to come, millions of species will have gone into extinction.

A good one
Keep steeming. @tormiwah

I have had endless conversations about that topic with people on the inside of conservation. It is well known and to some degree broadly accepted that we will lose most of the big five by 2050-2070. It will start with the rhino, then comes the elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo... Poaching is an all devouring Leviathan of madness that won't stop till nothing is left of what once roamed the earth.
