With the lifting of the ban on using rhinoceros horns for traditional medicine in China, the plight of the rhino seems to be going from bad to worse. Struggling to leave the threat of extinction behind, the rhino is still being hunted mercilessly by poachers for its priceless horn. Tied to this awful fate, we need to push past this reality and make the world understand the worth of the rhino species while it is still alive. Completely covered in gold patina, this rhino shows that it’s not only its horn that is worth its weight in gold. A rhino that is alive and thriving is worth so much more!
