'We will save them': The quest to rescue nearly extinct northern white rhinos


Ol Pejeta ranger and headcare giver Zacharia Mutai, stands next to the last two northern white rhinos in the world, 35 years old Najin (L) and her 24 year old daughter Fatu (R), in Ol Pejeta conservancy, Laikipia county, on February 6, 2025. Najin and her daughter Fatu are the only northern white rhinos left on Earth. The clock is ticking before they become the latest in a long line of animals that humans have poached to extinction. — Photos: SIMON MAINA/AFP

Najin spends a lot of time by herself these days because her rebellious daughter prefers to hang out with her best friend.

This might sound like a common parental complaint, but Najin has a particularly strong argument – she and her daughter are the only members of their species left on Earth.
