It's World Rhino Day today!

At the beginning of the 20th century, 500,000 rhinos roamed the wild. Now only 29,000 rhinos are left due to poaching.
On this year's #WorldRhinoDay, @thegreens calls on you to add your voice to the voices of those calling for the protection of Rhinos and be at the forefront of biodiversity conservation.

You can learn more about biodiversity and what you can do to protect biodiversity by following @biodiversity.

Have my upvote! I mean, rhinos are like dinosaurs of modern times! let's not let them get extinct...

thanks @nicolahaye. We can't keep losing everything. We must protect somethings for future generations and Rhinos are one of those things we need to protect.
