No one has to press me into service for conservation project if I think that I can be benefit. And then in this case, I thought not so much for my expertise with rhinos, but because I knew the cast of players that had to work together to do it, that I could be of assistance to make this work. And so that’s, I agreed first to be the southern black rhino species coordinator. And then when the species coordinator resigned to be the black rhino species coordinator for both species, and which automatically put me on the taxon advisory group. I also became a member of the International Rhino Foundation, which we started in 1991. And this is a group of it’s both zoo people, ranchers and private corporate individuals who have banded together to form this and this not only now works for the saving and worked with the black rhino, but for rhinos worldwide and rhinos worldwide need a lot of help. There’s only 58 known Javan rhinos left as of 2014. There’s less than 100 Sumatran rhinos.
