The last of their kind, guarded 24/7
The northern white rhino (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is extinct in the wild thanks to ruthless poaching that has reached catastrophic levels in recent years.
Rhinos have been slaughtered for their horns, which are sold for huge amounts of money in Asia, where they’re believed to cure a range of ailments. Today, only two northern white rhino females, Najin and her daughter, Fatu remain at a sanctuary in East Africa with 24/7 guarded security.
