The world rhino day is celebrated on 22 September every year

World Rhino Day is celebrated on September 22nd each year. It is a day to commemorate and raise awareness of the plight of rhinos and other endangered species. The goal of World Rhino Day is to encourage people to get involved with rhino conservation on both a local and global level.Rhinos are large, herbivorous mammals, characterized by a large, horn-like protrusion on their snouts. Rhinoceros are native to Africa and Asia. There are five species of rhinoceros, three of which are critically endangered. Rhinos have been hunted for their horns and killed as a threat to livestock. Once roaming across much of Asia and Europe, Rhinos are now located in the following Asian and African countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Laos, South Sudan, Chad, Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Angola, Zambia, Swaziland, South Africa, Namibia a Rhinos are in serious danger! The world population of rhinos has declined by 96% in the last 75 years. Recently, poachers killed three black rhinos in a national park in Kenya. This was the worst loss of black rhinos in the last 10 years. The illegal trade in rhino horn is the greatest immediate threat to these animals. All five rhino species are threatened with extinction. Black rhinos are critically endangered, with fewer than 5,500 left in the wild. Their numbers have declined by 96% in the last 75 years! White rhinos are classified as Near Threatened – their numbers have fallen by a staggering 97% since 1960. The smallest of the rhino species, the Sumatran rhino, is also classified as Critically Endangered. There are fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos left in the wild. The Javan rhino is the rarest of all rhino species. There are only between 50 and 60 individuals left in Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia.
November is a very important month for rhino lovers in Kenya. This month marks the annual celebration of World Rhino Day which was started by a group of passionate conservationists in Africa and Europe. The day is to help raise awareness on the current status of rhinos in the wild and the increasing threat to their survival. This year's theme of the World Rhino Day is "Save the Rhinos: Plant a Tree for the Rhino." The day is to recognize the role forests and trees have on the survival of the rhino and how their natural habitat is being destroyed by humans and the devastating effects that it has on the rhino and its habitat. World Rhino Day is celebrated each year on 22 September as an awareness day of the plight facing the world's rhinos. This day was created by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and is now celebrated in several countries. The day was first celebrated in 2006, when it is known as World Rhino Day. Like many other awareness days it is celebrated on the same day of the year as another awareness day, World Elephant Day, on 12 August. Both days are celebrated on the same day as the UN World Wildlife Day on 3 March. Rhino horn theft from museums and private collections has become a major security concern.World Rhino Day is celebrated each year on 22 September as an awareness day of the plight facing the world's rhinos.
