What is World Rhino Day?

World Rhino Day was started in 2010 by the World Wildlife Fund, South Africa. World Rhino Day was created to generate awareness about the endangered animal, with all its five species, black, white, greater one-horned, Sumatran and Javan facing the threat of extinction. Every year, the day is celebrated on September 22, with various events and programmes organised with the aim to make everyone aware of the horrors on poaching on a global scale.
