"RHINO WARS"
Images of a White Rhino mother and calf in the landscape of iMfolozi Game Reserve in Natal, South Africa, May 1, 2011. Hluwhluwe iMfolozi Game Reserve is the worlds largest repository of Rhino, with an estimated 2300 rhino in total, a majority of which are White with a large contingent of Black Rhino. This terrain is considered to be representative of how Rhino have lived on Earth for thousands of years. With over 400 Rhino killed for their horn in 2011 in South Africa alone, the species is racing towards extinction because of the insatiable appetite for medicinal Rhino horn amongst the new Asian elites. |
