Malaysia's last known Sumatran rhino dies - LydiaKlok - 11-25-2019

This Rhino was 25 years old and had cancer, she was the last female, while the last male had died months earlier in May. This is very sad but not surprising to think about. As humans continue to populate, more and more animals will continue to be extinct. We have no idea the effect we have had to cause the extinction of this rhino. As there are no more of those rhinos this could have effect on many other animals and plants in the environment. As the extinction of one animal could cause the extinction of another. Regarding the balances of an ecosystem. Today only five species of rhino can be found. Rhinos could be as low as about 30 scattered across the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, displaying how critically endangered they are. People have tried and attempted to breed rhinos and species but have unfortunately failed. Reasons that the rhinos are endangered is mostly because of us humans. As the article states, that rhinos have been hit hard by poaching. Although this is not the only reason, it takes a big effect on the population of the rhinos. Other factors involve, habitat loss and a breakage in their population and nature of their structure. Does anyone else have any ideas on why these rhinos are endangered and going extinct and how to stop from a loss of rhino species?

Its tragic that the last of these rhinos have been wiped of an ecosystem.

We need to give more attention in helping our dying species, they are important in our ecosystem and are needed to keep the diversity of the ecosystem thriving. losing a whole species in an ecosystem is very bad for many other species that could lead to a dominos effect cause many other deaths of species.

Yeah we need to cause as the way we humans are going, the next 5 generations might never be able to see much diverse animals anymore.

This is really sad to see and it is clear that many more animals are likely to also go extinct.

Without a doubt the rhinos are going extinct due to human activity. As much talk as there is, the rhinos were never fully protected. Unfortunately, no one cared about the rhinos and we took advantage of the helpless creatures.
