Earth has lost half of it's wildlife in the last 40 years and almost 10 species went extinct in the last decade alone.
At some point we should realize that this has nothing to do with evolution but human greed and our tendency to use resources more than required.
Sundan rhino
Theyve preserved sperms from Sudan and other males back then but artificial insemenation would be too risky for the 2 last females.
Heartbreaking Photos Of Last Male White Rhino Being Comforted Before Death
These are the heartbreaking scenes as wildlife ranger Zacharia Mutai says goodbye to Sudan, the last the last male northern white rhino on earth, who died shortly after the photograph was taken on a Kenyan wildlife reserve.
The rhino, named Sudan, was suffering from a degenerative muscle and bone condition linked to age when keepers found he was unable to stand up and made the decision to éùthanise him on Monday.
A statement from the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where he was kept under armed guard to prevent poaching, said his condition 'worsened significantly' and he was no longer able to stand.
His muscles and bones had degenerated and his skin had extensive wounds, with a deep infection on his back right leg.
Sudan's demise should spell the end of his subspecies, but scientists have gathered genetic material and hope to develop IVF techniques to produce more white rhinos. He is survived by his daughter and grand daughter.
Scientists now hope to develop techniques using frozen eggs and ***** which will allow the species to survive.
Sudan's death 'is a cruel symbol of human disregard for nature.
International wildlife charity Born Free's President and co-founder, Will Travers OBE said 'When are we going to understand that we cannot continue to use and abuse wild species without serious consequences?'
'The pressures on wild species from habitat loss, persecution, trade, hunting, trophy hunting, resources extraction, land conversion, agriculture and more, combined with the relentless growth in the human population begs the question:
Will there be room for non-human life on earth after we have finished?'
What's next will human do? I dont know..
