Endangered Ecosystem

“When it comes to looking after all the species that are already endangered, there’s such a lot to do that sometimes it might all seem to be too much, especially when there are so many other important things to worry about.

Can we stop the relentless spread of Bd, the infamous frog-killing-fungus?

The recovery of the greater one-horned rhino is among the greatest conservation success stories in Asia. However, the species’ remarkable recovery has been constrained by a lack of adequate habitat. Currently, 85% of all greater one-horned rhinos are concentrated in just two locations in India and Nepal. #greateronehornedrhino #IndianRhino #Rhinoceros unicornis #India #Nepal #Rhinoceros #rhinos #savetherhino #endangered #stopextinction #stoppoaching #helpingrhinos #Asianwildlife #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographer #travelphotography #travelphotographer #endangeredspecies #Blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhitephoto #bnwphoto #bnwphotography #monochromephotography

I’m not medicine: The race to save the five extant species of Rhinoceros

I’m not medicine: The race to save the five extant species of Rhinoceros

It’s been so long since my last post, over four years. I don’t exactly when the dry-spell began.
