September 22 is World Rhino Day! This holiday not only recognizes just how incredible these animals are but also advocates for their conservation.
According to Dr. Jo Shaw, CEO of Save the Rhino International, “On World Rhino Day it is important to reflect on the successes and challenges of rhino conservation globally.” Some of the recent rhino conservation successes include an increase in global rhino numbers. At the end of 2022, the world rhino population reached 27,000.
