Saving The Black Rhino Project: The time will come when conservation efforts will be galvanized by children all over the world. The "Saving the Black Rhino" movement will become a reference standard toward this effort to conserve, protect and respect all living things on this blue rock-Earth.
Hello George, These are some great resources. I am currently working with a group similar to the saving the black rhinos. I will share some of the ideas the science club will be exploring toward our effort to save the black rhino and all endangered species.
