Reflective Summary

I have learnt why white rhinos are being threatened and and why we must save them. Poverty and greed provides a fertile breeding ground for the illegal trade in Rhino horn and poaching of Rhino to obtain the horn is rife today. We must save them as they have been surviving for 50 million years. Also, when protecting the white rhinos, those sharing the same habitat as the white rhinos are getting protection too.

My perspectives have changed as I used to think that white rhinos were minor species and has not a large impact. But after I researched, I realized that white rhinos were actually are the second-biggest living land mammals after the elephants. Thus, they are interesting and can attract attention to tourists and visitors and help the country to earn money.

The current situation, I feel, has room for improvements. This is because I feel not majority of the people are doing their part by spreading the message to conserve the white rhinos. I think that people should not continue to stay with this attitude as it may lead to the extinction of the white rhinos.

I can help to play my part by spreading the facts of the white rhinos and why it is essential to conserve it with my group mates to my school. I believe that my schoolmates will also help to spread the message.

For further improvements, I would suggest that the people living near the white rhinos would actually volunteer themselves as conservationists and help to catch the greedy poachers. These suggestions might make the world a better place as there would be no need for extinction of the white rhinos. In addition, with the white rhinos living, they can help the country to earn money as they attract tourists.
