    I have recreated a scene in real life that occurs more than it should. As soon as I have heard the news that the last male white rhino died, I paid tribute to this and decided to make a build to raise awareness for this issue, and show people how devastating the effects of poaching is. Elephants and rhinos are the primary targets, and their numbers are rapidly dwindling. The evidence is right in front of you. Extinction is real.

    The last white male rhino died last month, that marks the extinction of a rhino species. And yet it is still an issue - the numbers of elephants and rhinos continue to dwindle due to high demands of ivory, and not many people even know this problem exists.

    I was largely motivated to build this project when I heard the news of the white rhino, and decided to recreate a scene that occurs more than it should in real life. I hope this brings in the appeal factor and generate sympathy in those viewing. And even if you couldn't help much, you could at least try convincing those around you (or yourself) who purchase ivory ornaments to stop purchasing these items, because after all the root cause of poaching is the high demands for ivory. And the concept of extinction because of human's greed for some fancy ornaments is just incredulous to me.

    Truly amazing! Upload it to PMC too if you haven’t already; it deserves to be featured.

    We can hope on saving remaining species with ivory, elephants for example. Let’s stop this cruelty for what people see as fashion.

    Poaching doesn't only lead to extinction, it also increases the Elephant and Rhino attacks a lot. About 30 years ago an attack by Elephant's or even Rhino's was very rare and almost never happened. Nowadays it commonplace. Even though this probably won't help much against poaching, huge respect to you for creating this!

    "Fun" fact: they're trying to make a new baby White Rhino via IVF, but since the 2 female White Rhinos aren't healthy enough to carry babies right now the host will be a similar species of Rhino. They're able to do this because the stuff they need from the male White Rhino was frozen. Not going into more detail than that, for obvious reasons :L

    Get learned.

    Good build btw :wink:
