A spot of happy news for a hopefully Happy new Year! On 2 January 2010, a baby white rhino was born in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Uganda. This is the 3rd calf to be born after 25 years of regional extinction. The White rhino has been extinct in the region since 1982 after poachers wiped them out.
Baby White Rhino
Ziwa Rhino Sancutary was established in 1997 to help to reintroduce the Rhinos and the first calf was born 12 years later and called Obama! The new calf has yet to be named, but is a welcome addition to the family. For more information and how to support the sanctuary check out Ecowordly and Rhinofund.org
