World Rhino Day 2025

Every year on September 22nd, World Rhino Day reminds us of both the beauty and vulnerability of one of the planet’s most iconic species—the rhinoceros.

Rhinos are more than just magnificent giants. They are keystone species, meaning their presence is vital for maintaining the balance of their ecosystems. By grazing and shaping vegetation, they help create habitats for countless other animals and plants.

Yet, despite their ecological importance, rhinos continue to be driven toward extinction.
