Sudan the last of his kind a Northern White Rhino male died earlier this year. With only two remaining females left of the entire species the only hope now of preventing the demise of this ancient species is science and technology. It is truly sad that it has to come to this and that we have let it happen and now are madly scrambling through the aid of IVF technology to bring a species back literally from the dead in a test tube. These animals symbolise what could happen to so many other precious animals that walk our planet trying to survive in a world of ballooning human populations, where they are regarded as a commodity or a means to make money and even to fund terrorism. We cast out into space looking for new frontiers, why ? Perhaps we should be using that vast bank of funds to care for and prevent the ultimate end of our precious wild and the animals in it.
