In class we watched this video. It is about a lion called Christian. I thought the movie was very moving and It was the start of something greater. It showed that animals deserve their freedom. After watching this video we were told to find something similar. I couldn't find anything good but this is what I came up with.
Damien Mander set himself a mission, a mission to prevent the poaching of the black rhino. He has started up a foundation that provides free training in preventing poaching this foundation is called IAPF (International Anti-Poaching Foundation). He has been following through on this mission since 2009, but it is a tough job. The black rhino horn can be worth more than gold or cocaine on some black markets, from $30 - $130 per gram. The high demand for the horn is because of the use of it in medicine, although the horn has not been proven to work the myth still stands strong. A rhino is killed every 15 hours illegally. At this rate the Black Rhino will be extinct by 2031. The amount of rhinos that have died has been immense, over the last 50 years an estimated 997500 have died. I think that this is really sad. Go IAPF! RHINOS FOR THE WIN
