Horn of Extinction, India - Limited Edition

8% of the profit goes to WILD Nature Foundation

Hunted almost to extinction! The greater one-horned rhinos, like other rhinos, were killed for their horns. Horns are made solely of keratin, a fibrous protein like the one found in our hair and nails. Today, the gene for having a large and beautiful horn is gone – but this might have saved the rhinos. At the beginning of the 20^th century, the governments of both India and Nepal stepped up to save the remaining 200 rhinos, and today this counts as a success story: There are now 2,200 mature individuals according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals.
