WORLD RHINO DAY

by Shobha Pokhrel | 22-09-2020 17:23 recommendations 0

World Rhino Day is celebrated 0n September 22 every year !This special day provides the opportunity for caused related organizations ,NGOs ,zoos and Members of the public to celebrate rhinos in their own unique ways .The theme of the World rhino day 2020 is ¡°Five Rhino Species Forever¡±.

   

Rhinos once roamed many places throughout Europe ,Asia and Africa  and were known to early Europeans who depiciated them in cane paints . At the beginning of the  20th  century,500,000 rhinos roamed Asia and Africa . By 1970 , Rhino numbers dropped to 70,000 and today rhino numbers dropped to 27,000 in the world. Very few rhinos survive survive outside national parks and reserves due to persistent poaching  and habitat  loss over many decades . Three species of rhinos ¡©–black ,Javan and Sumatran  are critically endangered .Today only a small small population of Java Rhino is found in only one  National Park on the northern tip of Indonesia Island of Java . Succesful conservation efforts have lead to an increase in the greater one- horned rhino , from around 200 at the turn of 20 th century to around 3,700 today .The greater one –horned rhino is one of the Asia biggest success  stories . It has moved from endangered to vulnerable species . However , the species still remains under threat from poaching for it¡¯s horn and from habitat loss and degradation . In Africa , southern white rhinos , once thought to be  extinct  ,now thrive in protected sanctuaries and are classified as near threatened .But the western black rhino and the northern white rhinos have recently become extinct in the wild .The only two reamaining northern white rhino are  kept under 24 –hours guard in OI Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. Black rhinos have doubled in number over the past two decades from their low point of fewer than 2,500 individuals, but total number are still a fraction of the estimated from 1000,000 that existed in  the early part of the 20 th centuary.

There  is major role of human in the conservation of all these species of rhinos in the ecosystem .We all most act from our own place to conserve their habitat.

Thank you .

Hope you all will enjoy reading my report .
