Well, it's called the Western Black Rhinoceros AND THEY'RE ALL GONE. EXTINCT. DEAD.
This news has been announced by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature just today. Further statements claim that more rhinoceroses are on the verge of extinction as well. There is hope, though. In the past, many animals that have been declared extinct have been "found" and, through efficient conservation programs, have gained numbers. Such animals include the White Rhino and Przewalski's horse.
Now, I'm not sure how to help out what's going on in Africa from all the way here from San Diego. Picketing? Yeah, raising awareness is nice but unless we do something big, no one's going to do anything. Fundraising? I guess sending money to conservation groups is a great way to help, but that's a little impersonal. I'm up for it. Have any suggestions? Leave them in the comments below!
Also, don't forget to bring letters or designs for posters to the next STWF meeting NEXT FRIDAY!
Remember guys,
THE POWER IS YOURS.
