Rhinoceroses have been hunted by men for many years for their skin and horns and they are on the brink of extinction. The perfect way to celebrate World Rhino Day is by pledging to protect them.

Happy #RhinoFriday Wildlife Lovers! The stark reality is that most rhinos now have to be de-horned from to time for their own safety in order to make them less of a target to poachers & ultimately saving their precious lives. * Meanwhile, support reputable conservation bodies like @savingthesurvivors who are working hard to save rhinos & other endangered species.

So, why are rhinos being driven off our planet at such an alarming rate? The answer lies in their horns, which are considered to be a valuable ingredient in some forms of Traditional Asian Medicine. The supposed “medicinal benefits” of rhino horn include the ability to cure typhoid fever, boils, and poisoning. The horn is even in use as an aphrodisiac. None of these claims, however, are backed up by hard evidence. Rhino horns are composed of keratin, the very same substance that forms our nails and hair, meaning that in reality, the “benefits” of consuming rhino horn may be achieved just as easily by chewing on our nails! #rhinohorniskeratin #rhinohornisnotmedicine #stoppoaching #saynotopoaching #saverhinosfromextinction (at Ol Pejeta Conservancy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CURaMNUq6TX/?utm_medium=tumblr

A very important arrival!🦏| Repost @beverlyjoubert | We’re so pleased to be able to share this photo. Please welcome one of our newest #rhinoswithoutborders rhinos. A healthy, very bouncy and extremely precious baby girl. She is one off 11 babies born so far from the rhinos that have been moved from poaching hotspots to safety. This shows how well these animals have settled into their new homes, how well suited their environments are and how gently they were treated on their long journeys to safety. She brings an extra fire to our hearts and a lump to our throats. Thank you again for all your support in making this program such a success.

My #MondayMotivation - Speaking up for those that can’t speak loudly for themselves. #AnimalFact: Rhinos make a variety of noises, including squeaks, exhales, snorts, grunts and more. Unfortunately, their language is rarely understood by those who don’t work closely with them. . . . . #MakeItHappen #makeadifference #mypassion #wildlifeconservation #whiterhino #rhinoconservation #saverhinos #fightextinction #endextinction #rhinohornisnotmedicine #nola4ever (at San Diego Zoo Safari Park)

The power of love in the animal kingdom. #trunkupwines Hippo kisses for orphaned rhino Summer! • On #Summer's afternoon walks she recently met orphaned hippos Emma and Molly. She now regularly likes to stop by and greet our two hippos as she walks by! • As Emma has grown up around young and orphaned rhino calves, regularly meeting those that come to #CareforWild, she is always happy to greet the newer family members. . . . . . #careforwildrhinosanctuary #careforwildafrica #orphans #hippo #rhino #savewildlife #summersaturday #conservation #southafrica #stoppoaching #careforwild #rhinohornisnotmedicine

@Regran_ed from @rhinolover.us - from @jklamlam - Beyond cute 🦏 #rhinohornisnotmedicine RP @heyykare 🍃 Via @dswt One-month-old Maarifa isn’t quite up to the task of giving herself a proper mud bath, so our Keepers are on hand to help! Mud is an important part of the little rhino’s skincare routine; not only is it great fun to roll about in it, but it also protects her skin from insects and the sun. To adopt Maarifa for yourself or as a gift for a loved one, click our link in bio 🦏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ _________ Video © David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust #DSWT #MaarifaDSWT #rhino #whiterhino #kenya #whyilovekenya #baby #savetherhino - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqpMjagF2N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ez6a90lxd2qw

For as many people who do horrible things to wildlife, remember there are so many more doing amazing things for #wildlife. Tragic events such as, poaching rhinos for their horn, can at times make us feel powerless. But I hope you see these tragic events like alarms. We must respond. We must push ourselves to reach out further than ever before to educate everyone. We must stop the demand. We cannot do it by demonizing those who create the demand. We can only do it by educating everyone. We must. We absolutely must. #wildlifeeducation #EndExtinction #conservation #makeadifference #stopkillingrhinos #rhinohorn #rhinohornisnotmedicine
