We have a policy in Great Plains to never talk of ‘the big five.’ Watching the news out of the UK right now, I am considering calling the collection of Lions, Leopards, Buffalo, Elephants and Rhinos – ‘the Royal Five.’
With World Rhino Day upon us, this week is worth singling out one of those Royal Five. These would be the most prehistoric-looking sage characters as they walk so innocently through this terrible era of poaching with nobility and grace.

Long Live the Rhino!

I can say so much about this, but today I want to celebrate rhinos and everything about them. We watched a recently born baby expressing his joy at life, chasing butterflies and bugs, racing around his mother in a sphere of her protection. But can she protect him? Perhaps that duty falls entirely to us now, their loyal subjects.

Please follow Great Plains Foundation and our rhino protection program, including our female rangers hiring process, which is underway now. This is a continuing effort to safeguard rhinos and provide jobs for women in conservation simultaneously.

 

Long Live the Rhino!
