Happy World Rhino Day! Friendly reminder that you may add your spot and special story to the World Rhino mission to help raise awareness of its plight: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12848241
Majestic animal! Please add your amazing pics to "Rhino Horn is Not Medicine" mission to help raise awareness! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/12848241
So sad. Many reserves are now micro chipping the horns instead of removing them in an attempt to track & arrest the poachers.
