‪“He left his footprint on the Earth, and a mark on our hearts.”‬ ‪I spent some time going through my photos from the day I spent with Sudan a couple of years ago. I was looking for an image of him, but this one seemed poignant. He’s gone. Maybe a photo of his footprint is most appropriate? It seems so simple, yet... I don’t know. Now that all of the hustle and bustle of my media tour is wrapping up, I have more time to reflect on the significance of his passing. No matter my emotions, I keep coming back to one thought every time: He has made such a difference. People across the globe know about the significance of his passing. Now is the time to reach out further. With more frequency. With more volume. We must educate, raise awareness and “crash” the rhino horn market.‬ . . ‪#SudanForever #Only2Left #RememberingSudan #EndExtinction #NorthernWhiteRhino #SudanForever #WhiteRhino #WorthMoreAlive #WildlifeEducation #WildlifeConservation

Photo by @amivitale. Fatu, one of the last two northern white rhinos known to be alive, rolls in the mud on a delightfully wet day at @Olpejeta Conservancy in northern Kenya. Fatu is crazy about mud baths and is known to get frisky when the rains come and head right for the mud holes to wallow. We are less than two weeks away from an exciting, online, global viewing party for the award-winning short film, Remembering Sudan, which documents the incredible bond between Zacharia Mutai and the last northern white rhinos. After a screening of the film, there will be a live discussion with Zacharia and filmmaker Ami Vitale who has spent the last 14 years working with the rhinos and Ol Pejeta conservancy, where the rhinos currently live. This will be an empowering talk for adults and children and leave you affected with ideas and inspiration for creating positive change in your own communities! The virtual event will be live-streamed at 11am MT/ 1pm ET / 6pm GMT. Make a donation to attend and it will benefit Ol Pejeta Conservancy, which cares for the last two northern white rhinos.

Photo by @amivitale. @zacharia_mutai, the head keeper of the last two northern white rhinos, checks on them from sunrise to sunset at @olpejeta Conservancy in Kenya. He says, “Each species on this planet plays its own role. And if one species is missing, the ecosystem is no longer balanced. We all share the same planet, and if we no longer have any wild animals, we will be in total darkness.” I have just launched the new short film “Remembering Sudan,” documenting the heartbreaking crisis facing the northern white rhinos, the incredible efforts to save them, and the work of all the keepers at @OlPejeta Conservancy, who sacrifice so much to protect them. I hope that you will take time to watch it. All ticket sales go to supporting @OlPejeta, which cares for Najin and Fatu, the last two northern white rhinos on the planet.

Photo by @wachira.joseph. Saying goodbye to Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, as he passed away was one of the most difficult moments of my life. On that day in March, 2018, we were witnessing not just the death of this majestic creature and the functiopnal extinction of a subspecies, but also watching our own demise. We need to start recognizing that our fate is linked to the fate of animals. Without rhinos and all wildlife, we will suffer more than loss of ecosystem health. We will suffer a loss of our own imagination, a loss of wonder, a loss of beautiful possibilities. I hope that this moment will mark a moment when humanity recognizes how interconnected we all really are. Please follow @biorescue_project, @safariparkdvurkralove and @olpejeta to learn about their extraordinary work to save the species. Thank you @wachira.joseph for capturing this moment, and thank you to the team at @olpejeta for allowing me to document this journey.

Photos by @amivitale. Today, there are only two northern white rhinos known to be alive. Since August 2019, @BioRescue_Project has been conducting regular oocyte pick ups and to date they have created 24 pure northern white rhino embryos that are awaiting implantation in a southern white rhino surrogate. Thanks to their work, a species that was once doomed to extinction may well be saved. Every day, the hope grows larger. We will be discussing this exciting development and more in our April 24, global viewing event for the award-winning short film, "Remembering Sudan," which documents the incredible bond between @Zacharia_Mutai, the head rhino keeper, and the last northern white rhinos alive on the planet. Following the screening, you can join @Zacharia_Mutai from @OlPejeta Conservancy and myself for a short discussion. Zacharia Mutai has been on the front lines of this bold efforts to restore the species and will discuss how it feels to be a witness it. The virtual global viewing event will be live-streamed at 10 a.m. MT/ 12 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. GMT. Consider making a donation to attend!
