Sudan - World's last male northern white rhino, dies

in #life7 years ago (edited)

It's not at all my planned content but it is very important.

Last male northern rhino in the world named Sudan just died.  A statement from the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya said the 45-year-old rhino was euthanized on Monday after his condition "worsened significantly" and he was no longer able to stand.   His muscles and bones had degenerated and his skin had extensive wounds, with a deep infection on his back right leg. 

 The rhino had been part of an ambitious effort to save the subspecies from extinction after decades of decimation by poachers, with the help of the two surviving females. One is his daughter, Najin, and the other is her daughter, Fatu.

Why am I writing about it?  In the last 50 years, the population of wild animals has decreased by 58%.  It's a huge number. What is the reason? We are the reason. We destroy our planet. So why we are doing it? For money? For fun or just from laziness? It's sick.

Guys,  I'm not saying that you're fully responsible for that. But environmental pollution it's our big problem. Anyone of us can do something useful. For example sorting of waste and don't throw away trash. It is easy and can be small step to help our environment.

Let's fight for a better environment and create better place for human and animal life.


                                       


Regards and have a nice day.
