September 22nd was World Rhino Day, which celebrates Rhinoceroses and generates awareness of issues regarding their well-being.

In recent years, rhinos have been threatened by poaching, urbanization and pollution, which have left certain rhino species on the brink of extinction while leaving other species severely endangered.

Announced by WWF-South Africa in 2010, it took only a year for World Rhino Day to grow internationally, encompassing both African and Asian rhino species, with events worldwide bringing attention the plight of these rare animals.
