No you haven't. You have paid a small sum of money towards conservation/protection.
Obviously.
But is it black or white? Do you know the difference?
You seem to presume you that you are the only 'animal lover' here, which is simply not true. Please stop being so morally superior, because you aren't - some of us are just less emotional about the subject.0 -

Black with white spots. Happy?
Did you ever hear an expression "don't rise to it"? Well I like to live my life by it so please don't bother to anger me.
White rhino are relatively plentiful. They eat grass and other ground vegetation.
Black rhinos eat from trees and bushes and some subspecies are already extinct.
As part of the conservation of rhino, they are being bred in secure areas, then released. To prevent genetic problems, the breeding is done carefully and animals from different regions are brought in to improve the gene pool.
Two years ago a photographer took the first evidence in thirty years of a breeding pair in the Makgadikgadi Pans. The photograph is of a baby rhino footprint in the sand.
You might have seen the photo in some publicity, as I gave it to a couple of the charities to use.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?0 -

I take it you were the photographer that took that picture. No, I have not seen in any publicity.Being in Makgadikgadi Pans and taking such photo must have been amazing.0 -

That sounds like an incredible moment. Sadly I've never seen one on my visits to the Kruger, but hardly surprising given the large area and small number of animals remaining. We would love to go to Botswana, amongst several places, but it will have to wait a few years as animal viewing with a manic toddler doesn't work.
Have you any links to the photo as I would love to see it.0
