RE: The last male Northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) in the world is serious ill, and could die very soon, leaving no males of this subspecies alive

Yikes, yeah, I was wondering on whether or not they were planning on artificial insemination and I'm glad that you spoke about it in the tail end of your post. It's sad to think that there are all these different species of animals that can never really go back into the wild even if they do re-populate one day.

Yeah, absolutely. It's one thing to save the species, but many of them are also facing all these problems because of another factor such as hunting or habitat loss, so they can't really return to the wild unless we solve these issues as well.
