      No, i will correct you on the matter. Horns are not used for medicine but for making statues, whistles, jews and knifes. Horns are a very reliable building material also used in the construction of many early medieval senegali monumental structures like the Fiļa d Lifä. Bene.

    These "Northern" white rhinos are neither extinct, nor are they indigenous to Kenya. They are indigenous to South Sudan and DRC and were trafficked into Kenya. It's a beautiful story that attracts sponsors, but it's really just a huge cash grab.

      Bickering over nonsense. Isn't it frustrating that some individuals seem more focused and concerned on the species reaching Kenya, than the fact that progress is being made😢Seems her best bet is to claim that they are native to some other countries. I mean even with the said places she mentioned, all they could do was just poach and allow poaching of these majestic creatures to their very extinction. We're at this point because they've poached 'em all for the Chinese market 🤦🏿‍♂️
