1 May - Save the Rhino Day
There are just 58 to 68 Javan rhinos left on the planet (2022). A Javan rhino subspecies was declared extinct in 2011. Only 80 Sumatran rhinos are left today. The black rhino is likewise on the verge of extinction.
As early as the beginning of the 1990s, the African rhino issue, particularly the black rhino catastrophe in Zimbabwe, became well recognised and people began to be apprehensive.
By 2010, it was clear that the rhinoceros’ possibly dangerous destiny was still unknown to many people throughout the world. In response to the worsening of the situation, the World Wildlife Fund-South Africa declared World Rhino Day in 2010.
