I’m a Turkish photographer and journalist. I have a project about animals by the name of “zoosarenotgreen”. I made this project to show that the zoos are prison. I saw the eyes of a bear that says, “I don't want to be here.” And i saw a depressed and lonely desert fox, a disappointed tiger, a rhino who misses nature… If you look into their eyes, you will see this persecution.
Species' birth is first in 124 years at the zoo.
There's new hope for rhinos in South Africa in an ongoing poaching crisis. A group called Rhinos Without Borders is racing to save them from extinction. Last year alone, more than 1,200 were slaughtered in the country for their horns. Debora Patta got a rare look at the rescue effort.
A man who attempted to poach a rhino was reportedly trampled to death by an elephant in Kruger National Park in South Africa. When park rangers went to retrieve the man's body, they found a pair of pants and a human head near Crocodile Bridge; it appears a pride of lions may have devoured the poacher's remains. The man was accompanied by four other hunters, all of whom were arrested for poaching and will soon appear in court. The park's managing executive, Glen Phillips, told Letaba Herald, Entering Kruger National Park illegally and on foot is not wise, it holds many dangers and this incident is evidence of that. Kruger is one of South Africa's largest game reserves. Its wildlife includes the Big Five game animals: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalos, making this park a prime target for poachers. Phillips continued, It is very sad to see the daughters of the deceased mourning the loss of their father, and worse still, only being able to recover very little of his remains. Earlier this year, the South African Department of Environmental Affairs reported “significant progress” has been made toward eliminating rhino poaching in the country. Rhino poaching decreased by 25% from 2017 to 2018, although there is still more work to be done. Poaching is deadly and rips wildlife and human families apart. There must be simultaneous improvements to poaching laws and poverty conditions to stop this horrific practice for good.

Following a lifetime of animal rescue and African wildlife conservation efforts, Beverly and Dereck Joubert raise the alarm to the plight of the rhino. This oversize volume is both a celebration of these magnificent animals and a call to action to save them from vanishing forever. Blood Moon tells the tale of the extraordinary efforts to rescue rhinos from high-poaching zones in South Africa and save the species in secret locations in Botswana. Involving the help of military personnel, planes, helicopters, and private-sector gunboats, this is an action-packed story. The breathtaking images and riveting prose not only capture the never-before-seen rescue of rhinos, but also transcend wildlife publishing to celebrate the life of these elusive animals and the vanishing habitats of Africa. This book takes wildlife imagery to a new level. Here, the striking black-and-white photography is paired with the use of red, which has always been symbolic of wealth in the East, the largest market for rhino horns. Blood Moon is an inspiring demonstration of what humanity can do if we try to turn back extinction. Proceeds from this book benefit the Great Plains Foundation, with a mission to conserve and expand natural habitats in Africa through education programs, community initiatives, and wildlife and environmental stewardship in Botswana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. Great Plains Conservation and its Foundation manage over 1,000,000 acres of land in sub-Saharan Africa with plans to expand to 5,000,000 acres across a variety of critically important and fragile landscapes throughout Africa.
