Thank you Madeline! so happy to have this sleeping beauty as part of the mission!
Hi Madeline, please consider to add your Rhino series to the Rhinos of the World mission and help us raise awareness of their plight: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12848241
It was a part of a conservation effort, but the Rhino wasn't sedated. The conservation involved the Rhinos being watched at all times to protect them from poachers.
I am concerned that the Rhino is on the ground like this. Was this part of a conservation effort and the Rhino was under sedation?
