Marche Poole South Africa Nominee Wildlife Amateur "...Going, Going, Gone?" Rhino poaching in South Africa has reached a staggering 419 (as at 25 November 2011) in this year alone. They are on the critically extinct list of endangered species, with the Javan and Western Black Rhino recently declared extinct in the wild. This photograph is of 3 white rhinos taken on a farm in North West, South Africa. Featured in the middle is Jomo. Jomo was destined to be auctioned off to either end up on a game hunting farm or an international zoo. Thanks to funds raised, we could save his life. We are hoping to do so with many to come. Save our heritage, for our children ... |
