EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Black Rhinoceros, also known as Diceros bicornis, in its natural habitat. The solitary nature of this magnificent creature is evident as it stands tall against a backdrop of lush vegetation. With a height exceeding 1.5 meters and weighing up to a staggering 1400 kilograms, the Black Rhino commands attention and respect. However, the somber reality is that these incredible animals are facing an alarming decline in numbers due to relentless poaching activities over the past four decades. As a result, they have been classified as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This classification emphasizes the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect this species from extinction. The photograph was taken at Moringa Waterhole during nighttime in Etosha National Park, Namibia – a sanctuary where wildlife thrives amidst breathtaking landscapes. The image beautifully captures the rhino's crepuscular behavior; being most active during dawn and dusk when it emerges from its browsing activities. Let this striking visual serve as a reminder of our responsibility to safeguard these precious creatures and their habitats. Through collective action and preservation initiatives, we can ensure that future generations will continue to marvel at the beauty and resilience of Africa's iconic Black Rhinoceros.
